INTEREST IN Child SURVEY
County Units Add Questionnaires TO
Work OF Board of Health.

Y
Interest in the child survey being
conducted in county units turnout the
state under the supervision of the
child hygiene division of the state
board OF health, is being augmented
by adding to the missionaries cir
culated by local canvassers, inquiries
as to additional local conditions.
Almost every community has add
ed questions pertaining to some spe-
cial, local interest" said DR.. Florence
B. Sherbon, head of the state child
hygiene bureau. For instance, one
city wanted to collect housing statis-
tics; another wanted a milk survey;
another rent statistics; one county
wanted special information as to pub
lie school sanitation"
So successful was Mrs. Walter Burr
of Manhattan in completing the first
county survey in the state, that OF
Riley county. that Mrs. Burr has been
retained by the bureau to devote much
of her time this summer to field work
in behalf of the undertaking, helping
to organize other counties for the sur
vey. In describing the work in Riley
county, Mrs. Burr stated that there
was not-a single report of any one
refusing to answer questions. The
data gathered. concerning all phases
of child life, especially such parts of
it as pertain to defective children, is
| for confidential record.
, The ultimate aim of the survey is
| to point to needed legislation which
will be placed before the next session
of the state legislature for enactment

WANT TO TRY KANRED.
South African Farmers Believe Kan
sas Wheat Be Good in Transyaal,

Manhattan. Kan, June 26.-Kanred
wheat, which is said to yield from
three to five bushels to the acre more
than any variety of hard wheat COM
mon to Kansas, Is to be given a trial
in South Africa. Samples of the grain
are. to be sent to the agricultural COL
lege at Potchefstroom, Transvaal.
So impressed by the record of the
new variety developed at the Kansas
experiment station was J. F. Mostert,
a South African attending the Kansas
State Agricultural college, that he OBJ
tanned enough pure seed to give it a
test in his homeland. He thinks that
conditions are enough like Kansas in
the southern part of the African con-
tinent to warrant trying there the sort
of wheat that has made good in this
state.

In a certain family living happily
in Topeka a year ago there were the
father. mother and seven children.
The family purse was limited, but the
mother managed to keep presentable
the children who are bright and at
tractive, typical of those who come
from the best of homes. Tragedy came
10 the family during the influenza
epidemic. when the father died, leav-
ing scarcely anything for the support
OF the family.
The mother was unequal to the task
OF earning living for herself and fam
fly. She drifted despondently into
ways that made her unfit to care for
her children and she has since disap-
