The first clinic for the registration
Of children in St Joseph county will
be held Friday afternoon at the
home OF Mrs. George HepleT Of
Clay twp. Children under six years
are TO be weighed and measured TO
ascertain their physical condition
For every normal child at eaCn
stage OF its development there is a
standard weight and measure and
the object Of the children's registra-
ton just beginning in this county is
TO discover what children DO noJ
measure up TO standard and why
they do not.
IL is estimated that 900, 900 chill
dren under five years OF age die an
nually in the United States Accord
ing to the opinion Of experts, at least
100000 Of these lost lives might be
saved through proper attention and
care. Through the council of ma

in cutting down the appalling death

ell of national defense 10 the effect
that by applying the regular babies

'ng the children il may be ascertain
ed what children are in the greatest

Stations at schools.
The committee in charge of the
registration in South Bend plans 10
have physicians and nurses station
ed at each of the registration booths,
located in the city schools. where
parents are requested to take their
children. While it is allowable for
parents 20 measure and weigh their
own children, parents are asked that
the children receive the attention Of
physician at this time. This may
be done by bringing the children to
the registration stations or by Sc
curing the services OF the family
physician. Physicians will inform
parents as 10 the state of the chill
dren's health and advise the course
of treatment in cases of ailment
BY means OF a scale of weights
and measurements printed on the
registration cards, parents may
keep themselves posted on the phys
ical fitness of their children.
Ii has been stated that many Of
the physical defects which caused
the rejection of one-third OF the
men coming up for examination in
the first draft are believed 10 date
from some slight trouble neglected
in early childhood. That a higher
standard Of physical fitness in the
rising generation can be assured
only by greater. attention 10 the
physical condition Of the children
of today is pointed out by the chill
dren's bureau.
Meets With Approval.
Thus far in the move workers for
the children's registration report
