SCHOOL CHILDREN
WEIGH & MEASURE
Physical Well-Being of Youngsters
Receives the Attention of
School Organization.

Reports on the weight of school
children are now being sent to the
homes by the schools. An effort is
being made to get children interested
in their own growth and nutrition,
and to find out which children are def
initely under nourished. IL is desir-
able that parents know more about
just what the schools are trying to do
and the significance to be attached to
serious under-weight.
There has been worked out table
for boys and one for girls showing
the normal weight for each and the
height for each age from six to
eighteen. To be slightly under-weight
means nothing, but for your boy or
girl to be as much as seven per cent
under-weight means that careful in
quiry should be. made to determine
whether or not there are other evil
dences of under nourishment. If other
evidences are found, such as general
lassitude, bad color, and dissemination
to play as normal, wide-awake AM
erican boy or girl should play, it
would be safe to say that in all prob
ability, the child is under nourished,
or as we sometimes say malnourished.
If there is other important evidence
of under nourishment than just the
under weight, the condition may be
found to be a family characteristic or
race characteristic. Not every child
under weight, according to the table,
is under nourished and not every child
full weight is free from malnutrition.
What the schools are doing is taking
under weight, where it amounts to
seven per cent of normal weight as
an index of possible malnutrition, and
then proceeding with careful inquiry
to find out just what is the matter,
and of course this is something you
as the mother are more interested to
know than any teacher can possibly
be.
In the process of weighing and
measuring and comparing actual
weights with what the weights should
be, of course the teachers make in
quiries as to diet, ETC., and make re-
marks that are carried home by the
children. These verbal messages you
need not pay any attention to be-
cause they are liable to be inaccurate
and misleading. If your child is SO
much under weight that you should
know it, you will receive from the
superintendent or the health super
visor an official notice Of that fact
along with such advice as it may seem
wise to give. If your child is over
weight as long us such weight is not
due to soft. fiabby tissue, it can be
| corrected by regulating the diet and
insisting on regular amount of ply.
steal activity.
Most mothers already know, and we
are anxious that all shall know that
the nutrition and physical growth
of their children are far more import
ant than any subject in the course OF
study or the children's progress in
any such subject.
In this office we are advising
whether children are under weight oil
not. that the schools arrange to fur.
nish at cost to all children who take

SALVATION ARMY PLACES
CHILDREN IN GOOD HOMES

Denver, Colo. Feb. "a. Especially
Babies, hundreds of them are want
ed by childless families in the inter-
mountain province Of the Salvation
Army according to Lieutenant Colonel
John w. Cousins who is in command
of the province. He receives requests
for children almost daily.
"It's the wee ones that are most
wanted" Cousins says. "Most women
want children from whom the secret
Of their birth may be kept. They
want the little ones to grow up ignor-
ant Of the fact that they are living
with foster parents. 1t is not the
policy of the Army to permit fallen
girls to give away their babies. The
Army cares for the girls, finds them
employment where the facts are
known to the employer. AS rule
the girl sometimes marries and the
child has a home.
"But there are cases where the
girl mothers soul wings out to the
stars at child birth. In such cases
the babe is sent to a christian home.
Many more children might be cared
for in this way, than we have to
offer.
at is pitiful, heartbreaking, the de-
sire of some families for children and
the hundreds Of unwanted babies who
come to mothers who love ignorantly
and too well is one of the queer COM
plexities of life. The maternity home
at Ell Paso, which we maintain for un-
fortunate girls, has at the present
time, nearly 100 inmates. These
cases are brought to our attention
every week and we try to care for
them ALL"

CHRISTIAN PRAYER FOR
SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES

Next Sunday, February 20, is the
worlds great day of prayer, directed
by the Interchurch World Movement.
1t is the day of prayer for schools
and colleges and life enlistment when
every newspaper in this country and
Canada will publish the prayer for
the preservation and direction of ed
ucation, will be read by millions who
claim Christianity in any degree.
Hundreds are expected to enroll as
Christian stewards in Christian SER
vice and the day closes the movement
for the enlistment of 100000 chris
tian stewards into the organized evan
gelical protestant churches.
The American press will carry the
message of the prayer to millions of
Americans and it will be read and re-
peated millions of times. The prayer
"Thou only wise God, who art
the source of knowledge and wis
dom, illuminate, we pray Thee all
schools, colleges and universities
with the light that cometh from
above. Make their officers and
teachers ever mindful of their
Christian stewardship over lives
entrusted to their care. Win stu
dents everywhere to commit them
selves to Thee and to accept in
prayer and gladness Thine own
plan of life for them. Lift up
their eyes to see the fields al
ready white unto the harvest, and
send forth laborers adequate to
gather in Thy ripening grain. En-
large the hearts of people every
where-we beseech Thee-to sup
port these institutions and join
with Thee in keeping clear to all
the world that the fear Of the
Lord is the beginning~of wisdom
and that except the Lord build
the house they labor in vain that
build it. In Jesus name. Amen"

NO TINE FOR LITTLE THINGS
(From the Spokane WASH Spokes.
man. Review

(From the Spokane WASH Spokes-
man Review
Will II. Hays, republican national
chairman, sounded an admirable key
note in his address before repub-
lican gathering at Indianapolis Mon
day:
"This is no time for little things.
We have no time for quarrelings eth
er as against democrats or between
ourselves. We attribute honesty of
purpose to the opposition and urge
that the contest between the repub-
licans and democrats be a contest of
service to the nation. Our politics is
to find out what is best for the coun-
try and do it first"
There is no reason to doubt that
Mr. Hays spoke in all sincerity. He
is built that way. He is a keen inter
prefer of public sentiment and knows
that the day has passed when the par
tisan spirit condoned anything that
might be done by a great party or
ganization.
Chairman Hays fine utterance will
be approved by right thinking men
and women of all parties. His evil
dent purpose is to lift American pol
tiles TO a better level. He is trying
to set higher standard for his own
party and his efforts will not be lost
to the organizations of other parties
He found out what is "best for the
country" and "said it first"

their lunches to school, bowl of hot,
because we feel that this matter Of
growth is so very important. In cases
where children are actually malnour-
ished, where the seven per cent under
weight is not a family or race char
acteristic, and where it is associated
with other definite evidences Of NAL
nutrition, we think the mother should
have conference with the health sup
ervisor, that program should be ad-
opted that will utilize the services Of
the family physician or a specialist,
that the mothers be given the oppor-
tunity of securing the very latest in
struction on the essentials of the
science of nutrition as may be avail
able, and that the home and the school
come into wise and sympathetic CO.
operation for the welfare Of such
children. A mid-forenoon feeding Of
whole milk and graham crackers will
do wonders for certain children who
are malnourished, and this will be
such an easy thing to do especially il
the mothers will help the school. All
mothers, whether they have under
weight childen or not should own and
read the following pamphlets:
Diet For the School Child bets.
Malnutrition bets.
These are to be had Of the Super
intendent of Documents, Government
Printing Office, Washington, d. c., at

les may be had for cts. each. Will

let's? Yours very truly,
