STARTS BABE
REGISTRATION

At the hrst registration clinic held
at the Garfield school. East Chicago.
last Wednesday,. May %. there were
over $50 youngsters weighed and meas
ured. This is A continuation of the
same work that has been conducted at
the Riley school in Indiana Harbor
where over 1000 babies have already
been registered.
This work was ordered done by the
Department of Labor. Children's Bureau.
and is here being conducted under the
supervision Of the health department.
In East Chicago inspectors are canvass
Ing the city. taking the names and ages
Of all under six years Of age. and are
notifying he mothers to present their
babies for registration at one of the
school centres. There is no ~compulsion
In these notices but it is the patriotic
duty of every mother to register her
little ones. " the registration clinic
the children are weighed and measured
and examined for any obvious defects
by physicians and nurses. In addition
the mother is given a card showing the
proper weights and measurements for
the different ages. In a great many
cases slight defects that are overlooked
by the parents are brought to light In
such clinics.
This is primarily for the
good Of the babies and young children
and as such is invaluable as a peace
measure but the activity of this country
in the great war makes 1t doubly neces-
ssry that our childhood be preserved.
It is specially obligatory upon East Chi
cago to perform this duty well. since
here only five out of six Of our babies
reach the age of one year whereas in
the average Of the rest of the nation a
baby has nine out of ten chances 10 be

My Dear Mr.. Livingstone:
The fine efficiency or the Boy

tanned. The Army and Navy have
drawn heavily upon it's ranks for

gifts TO the organization or serve as
Scout Masters will feel 1t their duty
10 help 10 organize the hundreds of
thousands of boys who need the
leadership and the impulse of the
Boy Scouts in order that the nation
may have their intelligent service
Anything that is done or given to

real contribution to the nation and

The Community An Asset.

Scouting as outlined and developed
through the program of National Head
quarters. has ably demonstrated tho
fact that Scouting IS an asset to any
community. II not alone has been pos
sible for the imaginary and visionary
citizen Of the community to be able TO
see its worth. but it commeuds itself to
the business and professional man. This
las beon made possible -becauseGof the
fact that boy life has much to do with
the cities assets or liabilities. In its

unsupervised Work For Boys.
Enthusiasm IS one OF the marked
Characterization which enters into the
work for boys. Because Of the success
Of the Scout program and the very fact
that the boys do a large percentage of
the work for themselves, the growth in
many instances is alarming. Therefore.
before the average city realizes It. that
which was once a small group of twenty
or thirty boys has grown to ten troops
with two hundred and fifty or more
Scouts.
The commissioner has found that the
task originally undertaken has grown TO
