OUR POLITICAL DoCTORS.-I
wish to make a few comments on
the statistics concerning the health
of school children and the advice re-
Gently published by the Chicago
health dept Long before the de-
partment published it's statistics l
knew, and every observing person
knew, that there are an astounding
number of people in this city, both
children and adults, who are suffer
ing for lack of medical attention.
They are dragging themselves
through life as miserable wretches,
whereas most of they could be happy
and healthy if such measures Of pre-
VentiOn and cure as science has
placed in the hands of man were di-
rected toward their relief.
We all know there are parents
who bring children into the world
and raise them as though they were
cattle and without giving them in
any respect the attention they ought
to have. In such cases, where parents
refuse to secure for their children
the proper medical attention, some
public agency ought to have the pow
eF to give the children the necessary
medical attention, against the par
ents' will (but l would not give this
power to our present political doc
tOrs), the parents to be compelled to
nav a reasonable fee. if thew were
able; if not, public funds should be
used to defray the expenses.
However, most parents are willing
to safeguard the health and we'll
being of their children. If most par
ents are not willing to take serious
the advice of our present health
dept, it must be because they have
very little confidence in it. And there
is a reason. The department has
ever been busy with all kinds of use

cotton, millets, maize, beans, barley
and rice. The respective lengths of the

Birth Registration
Is Most Important
Prepared by Children's Bureau, u. S.
Department Of Labor

Birth registration has assumed a
new, and in some cases tragic, impor-
tance in the light of the European war.
Hundreds of families in our country
have suddenly realized that the alb
sence of birth record is a grave omis-
sion which may have the most serious
result.
One little true story is typical of
many incidents which have happened
since the first Of August, 1914. The
young son of Washington family, just
graduated from one of the big Ameri-
can colleges in the spring of that year,
had gone to France to study. He was
comfortably settled in small French
village, learning the language, when
suddenly news came that war had been
declared. The authorities Of the vii
lage demanded of all strangers evil
dence of their nationality. This Amer
ters, and he was suspected of being a
German spy. In haste he cabled for a
passport, but when it came this was
not sufficient.
"Where is your birth certificate?"
inquired the officer, and the young man
could only admit that he had none.
But he cabled again to his father for
help, and the father hurriedly institut-
ed a search for the boys birth record.
1t happened at the time of the boys
birth the family had been living in a
state and a city where births were
registered, so the precious record was
found copy sent abroad.

Sea Gull urned as Food.

"Roast sea gull" is being advocated
in Great Britain as a substitute for
meat. A clergyman writes on the sub.
ject: 81 have tasted cOrmorant, also
herring gull and gannet. All are good
food-the flesh is dark and firm, and
though perhaps rather strong there
was no noticeable fishy taste. Gannet
are as large as geese and in many
places nearly as plentiful as sparrows.
They make enormous inroads into the
herring shoals. In fact, 1t has been
computed that the gannets Of the Bass
Rock consume as many herrings in
the course of the year as are landed by
the entire herring feet for human food.
Hence their destruction would increase
our food supplies in two ways. l have
mentioned 1t is the young birds only
viz, those which have not arrived
at adult plumage-that should be used
for food"

A birth certificate may be important
in the ordinary concerns of everyday
life. 1t is the one indisputable proof
of inheritance. Good state laws must
provide the machinery for registration,
but the completeness of the records
must depend, ultimately, on the inter
est of parents.
Even yet the birth records in this
country are far from complete. No
state, and probably no city, has abso-
lutely perfect registration. Only in the
New England states, and in New York,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota and the District of Colum-
bia are the records accepted by the
census bureau.
Birth registration Is one of those
fundamental matters of infant welfare
to which many communities are turn
ing their attention during Baby Week,
and one of the most valuable bits of
follow-up work after a Baby Week is
the conducting Of birth-registratiOn
test. Such test, carried out by To-
cal volunteer committee, has been de-
vised by the Children's bureau, and
is valuable not only in revealing the
facts but in bringing home to the COM
munity the Importance of registration.
In some places the registrar is send
ing a notice of registration to the par
ents as soon as a birth Is recorded.
This is proving an excellent device to
keep parents interested in seeing that
their babies births are registered. If
the notice contains all the facts includ- |
ed in the record and bears the sigma
ture and seal of the registrar, it viii
serve in future years as the official
which may be required to
establish identity or the right of in
heritance, or as proof of age or citi-
lenship.
The Children's bureau of the United
States Department of Labor has a
pamphlet of directions for carrying out
4 birth-registration test, and a general
pamphlet on "Birth Registration"
Both are furnished upon request.

Developing Hand and Mind
AS the Baby Grows Older
By JULIA C. LATHRoP. Chief Of United States. Children Bureau

The great students of child psychol-
ogy are making us realize that in the
period between two and six, when the
child emerges from babyhood and be-
gins to find his conscious way about
his own little world, there are pOssi-
bilities of development Of hand and
mind together which have not yet been
sounded or measured. In this period
the child himself ceases to be play
thing, and he in turn demands that his
playthings shall somehow help him
initiate the activities of his elders.

Mothers Duty to Protect Child
from All Preventable Diseases
Prepared by chdrsn Bureau. u s. Department of Labor

There are about 100000 children
In this country under five years. of age,
according to the United States census
of 1910. This means that the principal
business OF many millions of grown
people Is the providing of the neces-
stiles of life for this army of children,
all of whom are absolutely dependent
upon their elders for the materials of
growth, for shelter, warmth, and what
ever else they need. To feed, to clothe,
to warm, to house, protect and care
for this multitude of the "citlzens of
tomorrow" is II gigantic task, and the
devotion and self-sacrifce 1t implies
can never be stated nor measured.
1t is, however, service which
brings its own reward, and especially
when children proceed from a healthy
babyhOod into a happy childhood, and
on through youth into a normal matur-
ity.
The leading medical writer's are in
sisting that many of the illnesses,
weaknesses, and deficiencies which
'''f'HN Sp ilNdNg a buIhNll uDOu Nut
human race have their root in trOu-
bles of this early period of life, in the
lack of persistent and painstaking at
tention to the signs of disorders when
they appear, to lack of proper food for
the development of strong bodies, or to
the attacks of preventable disease,
leading to various deformities, weak
nesses, defects or chronic illnesses in
older persons.
1t is of the greatest Importance to
the rearing of race of healthy and
happy men and women that parents
shall come to realize that 1t is upon
the foundations Which are laid in the
early weeks, months, and years of
childhood that the superstructure of
solid adult health rests.
Parents must, therefore, strive not
only to provide children with the plain
necessities for comfortable living, but
also to surround them with constant
intelligent care and oversight, a task |
which parents oftentimes find much
harder.
IF we had only known what to do" |
Is the despairing cry of saddened |
mothers the world over. One of the |
hopeful signs of this present time is
the growing recognition of the fact
that child-care is a subject worthy of
the highest and most persistent study.
One of the most pernicious of the
older ideas regarding sickness was the
fatalistic assumption that certain dis
eases must be had by every one, and
therefore children might as well have
them early and be done with it. This
dea has led many mothers deliberate
y to expose their young children to
such diseases as chickenpox, measles,
yhooping cough and the like, and has
lad many deplOrable results, not the
