Child Welfare in War Time

Conservation and priority two words that
we have to associate with food, fuel and NUM-
tions. Yet they have equal relevance and sign
fcance for another of the resources of the country
it's children Indeed, the children of the nation
the most important of all it's resources; and. no ma
ton can afford to adopt war programme of conser
walton and priority that ignores the needs of the
children.
Yet in war time, if immediate efficiency is the
aim sought, the children inevitably the first
to suffer. England, France and Italy made the mis-
take of suspending the child labor laws and permit
ting the children to leave school and to work long
hours in munition factories and FARMS The eff

ing increase. Wise measures for sthe welfare of
mothers and children were, however, adopted and
i9 1916 the infant mortality in England less
than it had ever been before.
From such experiences and children should
profit. The Childrens Bureau of the department of
labor at Washington hopes to nation wide in

FIVE years of age died. Most of the deaths might
have been prevented if there had been decent home
conditions and if public health nurses and proper
medical treatment had been available
1t is not only the infants and their mothers who
in time need special attention from the state.
The harrasing anxetes and tragedies that beset the
homes that have sent their men to fight should be
by guarantees of comfortable living conditions
and by opportunities for reasonable recreation And
finally, there should be full maintenance of stand
ards of education and no relaxing of the enforce
ment of child-labor laws. however great the
pressure.
