cational. 1t Is to arouse the commun
ity to the vital Importance of giving
the baby better care. There is no
greater movement none which has a
stronger human appeal. II must be
remembered however, that babies are
with us not only during Baby Week
but 81 other weeks of the year To
have real results the interest aroused
by Baby Week must be sustained
Better food, care and housing condi-
tions for our babies are not to OBJ
tanned by weeks effort. Those in
charge of such movements should
study not only to have a good ex-
hibit during Baby Week, but to inaue-
urate efforts which will have a lasting
effect on baby welfare. The infant
death rate in this state has been re-
duced in recent years, but 1t is still
too high. And II is not enough sim
ply to keep baby alive. A baby born
under normal conditions has the right
to health, which means happiness, for
a healthy baby is happy baby.

who are direct patrons of the schools.
The meeting was called at the lnsti-

but was not a meeting of that board,
as many persons supposed.
Mrs Ed Lowther. member of the
city school board, was chosen to pre-
side over the meeting and she per-
formed her duties with grace, tart
and firmness. At one stage of the
seance the meeting grew roily but
the lady chairman was not at all

The chair stated the object Of the

needed for the schools and the need
was forcibly stressed.
