In the churches individuals have
free play and yet cooperate under

Proper Furniture
for the Children
Prepared by Children's Bureau. u. S.
Department Of Labor

Too many homes, even those where
there is no lack of means for the nec-
essary margin Of choice, are furnished
without apparent regard for the needs
or rights Of children, and In these 1t Is
hardly possible for a child to find a
place to play or use his own things
without having to be- continually
warned against breaking or harming
something. Ii Is plainly not just to any
child TO surround him with furnishings
designed entirely to accommodate
grown-up people and ask him to re-
-spect them, unless there Is somewhere
IL place In which he has equal rights.
and where the grown-ups must pay
equal respect to his possessions. For
this reason there should always be
some room, or at least corner Of the
family living room, where the children
may keep their own things and use
them In comfort.
The ideal rooms for children contain
only such furniture as they need for
comfort or convenience, and this will
be simple and easily kept clean. Wash
able painted walls. bare hardwood or
Nkfnted floors, simple curtains and
/ Anted furniture are suitable. II wall
paper is used 1t should be inexpensive.
so that 1t can be frequently renewed.
All the holdings, door panels, window
and door screens should be made with
plain painted surfaces so that they can
be readily cleaned.
Only the lightest curtains should be
used. and they should not cover the
windows, save when necessary to shut
out the hot sun. The chairs, tables,
beds, shelves, bookcases and all other
necessary articles Of furniture should
be small and low, so that the children
may find them comfortable and con-
venient. The continual effort to use
tables and chairs which are too high,
to get things that are out of reach,
and to be under the necessity Of trying
to adapt the strength, size and skill OF
children to the furniture of grown per-
sons results In no little irritation,
some Of which might be easily re-
lieved. The washbowl in the bathroom
ts usually too high for a child to use

Gently, believes that the first essen.
tfal everywhere is better understand
ing of what mothers need.
Few women seem to realize, for ex-
ample, that a mother needs special
care before the baby comes. And yet
the principles Of personal hygiene
which have been worked out by mod
ern science are of the utmost import
ance in preventing complications for
the mother and illness or weakness for
her baby. Further, the expectant
mother should be under the super
vision of physician, and she should
have certain periodic examinations by
which any symptoms of complications
may be discovered and treated while
they are still controllable.
And the mother needs skilled a..
tendance when her baby is born. Doc
tor Meigs emphasizes the fact that a
difficult maternity case is one of the
grayest surgical emergencies and re-
