State Neglects to Care for Chill
dren of'Pre-School Age, Says
Reconstruction Commission

When the average American child is
most sadly neglected, unless the
family is sufficiently we'll off to en-
ploy a competent caretaker. Pub
llshed vital statistics do not separ-
ate the deaths so that this period
can be definitely covered. However,
we find that during the five years
from 1913 to 1913 the average num-
Der of deaths of children between
the ages of one and four years in
the state of New York was $3.50, or
a rate Of GA for each 100000 Ow-
ing to the epidemic of influenza in
1918 the number of deaths in this
age group increased to 1874, which
gives a rate of 1888 for each lOO,-
900,
1.-THE City of New York is active
~ engaged in supervision Of its
children through welfare statiene
and the matter Ia being actively
taken up In the upstate area through
the bureau OF Child Hygiene Of the
Department Of Health, The number
OF child welfare stations throughout
the state is increasing, but the In
crease ia comparatively slow. large
ly. due to the financial conditions
which obtain in most of the COM
munities where such service Is
needed, and we recommend that
this be done.
The infant welfare stations could
easily enlarge their scope and in
clude the welfare Of the children of
the pre-school age.
THE question arises whether this
most important work could not be
started by grants from the national
or state government in manner
similar to the plan adopted for the
esta blishment of clinics for yenerea]
diseases
During 1918 the United States
government appropriated something
over 100000, which was to be d.
vided among the various states in
order to assist in the work of pre-
venting venereal diseases. The
states were called upon to contribute
similar amount of money for the
work. In most of the states this
campaign has met with ready re-
spouse, and it is believed that such
plan might eventually be devel-
oped throughout the state to en-
courage child welfare work. The
state through the Commissioner of
Education allows a considerable
sum toward the expenses of the
schools, especially toward the salary
of the physical instructor. 1t is
very desirable that the state con-
tribute toward the care of the child
during the pre-school age"

Child Welfare

THE very latest and most highly
approved methods in the care of
infants and young children will be
shown at the Strand Theatre this
week in a film entitled Babies"
The pictures, taken by Pathe Freres,
show actual scenes in the New
York Nursery and Child's Hospital
at 61st Street and Amsterdam Ave
nue..
The young man aged eight days
who was the star of the perform
ance is, according to all indications,
a future movie hero, for he laughs
and cries and grimaces as if he
we're following the directions in a
specially performed scenario, and
when the whole momentous business
of being bathed and dressed is over
with he cuddles down into his little
white basket cradle and goes to sleep
with an actual grin of contentment
on his funny little face.
In the nurseries for older children
ranging in age from six months to
three or four years the use of the
bath spray in place of the old fash
toned tub bath is shown,
This spray causes considerable de-
light to one kinky haired youngster
OF ebony hue. who grins through the
whole performance,

tional supervisory positions will
meet in Cincinnati, April %, to dis
cuss problems of public health nurs-
ing. Government officials, division
directors of public health nursing
Of the Red Cross and nurses of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany will attend the conference,
Miss Katherine Tucker. OF Phila-
delphia, vice-president Of the ma
tional organization for public health
nursing, will preside at the confer
ehee, which will take the form Of a
round table discussion.
Each public health nurae invited
to the conference has been asked 60
submit five aueatiene which sha be-
lievea eheuld be discussed. and the
ten most fundamental of those sug-
geeted have been chosen an basis
for the conference programme.
They are as follows.
/. What Is the minimum we should
require in going into community :?
How many nurses to the thousand
people? How many nurses are
necessary to do real school work in
city of given size? In a word,
what is the minimum standard, and
how many nurses required to do the
work properly; also the transporta-
ton?
2. Is it wiser to start public health
work in communities with private or
semi-private funds, ultimately ex-
pecting the municipality to take it
over, or should an effort be made to
have the municipality start the
work?
3. Should the school nurse oper-
ate under the school board or board
Of health or a combination Of these
two boards?
a. What is to be the Red Cross
peace programme in relation to
state health departments? What
should be the apportioning of re-
sponsibility to private agencies and
state and municipal governments?
Specialization versus generaliza-
ton. q
s. Will it be practical to work
out a definite plan for cooperation

much friction and some litigation,
which ended in an agreement of both
parties to set up a telephone depart
ment within the brotherhood, let the
women do as they pleased within
very wide limitations, and let the
mere males have possession of their
own department. AS part of the
settlement the brotherhood gave the
women $25 900 to start their treas
ury and settled down to run their
own affairs in their own way.

The speaker, a labor leader grown
gray in his membership in the Bos-
ton Central Labor Union, had been
listening to the declarations of some
of the striking telephone girls that
they would not accept the terms of
settlement arranged by Miss Julia
S, O'Connor, the neutrality-suspicious.

ing the telephone business of North

General Burleson to do business on
her terms,

Tomorrow came. and, sure
enough, the mass meeting of strik-
ers was anything but peaceful SEES
sion to start with. There was SO
much friction, so much adjusting to
be done here and there, that it was
an hour late in starting When it
started every one wanted to talk at
once, and Boston, finding it's phones
dead" concluded that the strike
settlement was false alarm.

fakes" prosperous looking man at
the Parker House telephone desk as
sured me. "They got these women
out, and now the devil won't get 'em
back or start things running right
again for weeks. The thing will
turn into a mob. You can't handle
women"
In just one sense the prosperous
looking pessimist was right-for an
hour or more, the mass meeting did
bear a close family resemblance to a
mob. Billy Brady, who some day
may wish to stage a woman's mob
scene, might proftably have been
present. To be sure, there was no
violence, but it was about as near

For Her

To the surprise of these officials,
however, she asked for more than
others had and, to make her de-
mands stick, threatened to call n
general strike. She was told that
this could not be done, that the wires
were in the custody Of the govern
mcnt and that the girls could rot
strike against Uncle Sam. Further
more she was told that while the
company officials would be glad to
deal with her, the Postoffice Depart
ment insisted on doing business in
another way.
This other way involved reference

three years, only to result in strikes

best, Miss O'Connor has been an
organizer since high school days in
Medford, where she has made her
home with her family since child
hood. In high school she was active
in school organizations and when
she graduated we'll up in her classes
and went into telephone operating
she carried the knack of organizing
with her.
That was about ten years ago
Telephone operators then were not
as we'll paid as now and the work
ing conditions were not so good,
especially in smaller towns. The
girls had for years talked organiza-
ton, but had got nowhere. partly
from the inherent difficulty in or
ganlzation, bat mainly because of
the opposition of company oiieials,
