Ii was through the hustling qualities
of Mrs. Charles Warner the chairman OF
the committee that many Of the tots were
tested Mrs Warner went among the
residents nearby and after explaining
the program to the mothers induced them
To bring their children 10 be weighed
and measured
Much good was accomplished. Some
children we're found with adanOlds and
tonslls that needed attention and OF which
ailments the mother was ignorant. The
mothers were told to have the children
given professional treatment and the
record Of each child so afflicted will he
watched in the years program Of Chll-
dren's Year.
The particular attention of the mothers
is requested in seeing that their infants
are legally registered with the Board OF
Health at birth. In some cities there
has beer a serious detection in regard to
this legality Midwives and even ply
sicians have neglected to see that the
children are registered.
The necessity for registering the birth
Of children is shown through the fact
that all baby sav wing work must begin
through records, to certain extent. In
New York State the Health Department
has agreed that public health to a large
degree, insofar as infants are concerned
is purchaseable and that communities
are In large measure responsible for the
infant mortality What is true in New
York State is also true in this State.
