Many American Mothers
Needlessly Sacrificed
For Lack of Care

That as many as $4,000 American
mothers die in childbirth each year
from causes largely preventable is
the startling statement made in
the annual report of the ehildren's
bureau for the present year.
A program for educating all
mothers to the point of desiring and
demanding skilled care at childbirth
and before and of making such care
available to them, is suggested as
a means of curtailing this unwar-
ranted number OF preventable
deaths in this country. ~
Three previous reports on mater
nal welfare in rural areas, prepared
by the bureau during the year, have
already offered convincing evidence
of the large number of mothers
who came to childbirth without any
advice or trained skill during preg-
nancy and without any trained care
at confinement.
But it is not only in isolated COM
munities that such lamentable con-
ditions exist. Even in cities the
problem of prenatal and confne-
ment care is far from being solved,
and very few communities have
made any systematic effort to solve

Student club and South High
Friendship Alumni girls, who are
planning to be present, please report
to the Y. w. c. A. before Saturday
noon.
On account of the number of girls
in the extension clubs and the lack
of a large enough room 10 bring
them altogether for a banquet, they
had two banquets this week. One
large group of girls meeting on
Monday night and the other Thurs
day night. Over 100 girls were pres
ent last night, representing the fol-
lowing clubs: Victory, Lohache,
Lafayette, Fellowship, Patriots, and
Foch club. The tables were beauti-
fully decorated by the club menu
bers with candles, flowers and flags.
During the entire supper hour, the
different clubs gave their club songs,
yells, etc.
After supper, the girls gathered
in the auditorium and listened to a
splendid talk by Miss Belle Ryan
on Woman in Business"
These banquets are monthly at
fairs.
The Victory club gave q very
clever little play, "Nelle of the
Plains" This club had the largest
attendance. 1t will be the aim of all
the clubs to make the next banquet
