TO STUDY HEALTH
Children's Code Commission
Urges Physical Examinations.
Legislature Measure Being
Drafted by Mrs. Mayfield.

Conservation of the health of chill
dren is being carefully studied by the
Kansas Children's Code commission.
Physical examinations in schools in
order to locate childhood defects be-
fore they develop into lifelong handi-
caps is proposed in legislation to be
submitted by the commission to the
1928 session.
The measure being drafted by Mrs.
Henrietta Mayfield, secretary of the
code commission, provides. that ex-
aminations be made and parents ad-
vised of the findings of school nurses
and doctors. No treatment would be
given or required under the proposed
bill. "It is the duty of parents to act
for the good of their child" Mrs.
Mayfield said.
Course for Teachers.
The code commission measure
would provide for the recognition OF
physical education in the department
Of education and the establishing of
courses for teachers in the normal
schools.
More than 80 per cent of the babies
born in the United States come into
| this world with a chance to be
healthy" Mrs. Mayfield said The
fact that only about II per cent of
them grow up with normal bodies is
appalling. A Nsman percentage of
these unfortunates are the result of
D. Wood. chairman of the committee
on health problems of the national
council of alton, reports that $780,
600 children were shown in the first
census in America to have organic
heart disease; 100000 children now
have tuberculosis; 100000 are suf-
fering from malnutrition, not because
Of poverty.
Emphasize Public Welfare Bill.
The code commission is emphasiz-
ing the county department. of public
welfare bill as the administration bill
of the code. 1t provides for appoint
ment of an unpaid board to appoint a
county superintendent of public well
fare from a list of qualified workers
certified by the board of administra-
! ton.
This is a consolidation measure for
the rural counties of the state,,' Mrs.
, Mayfield explained. 1.-The small sal
aries now authorized by law for the
ipoor commissioner, the probation Of
county prohibit the securing of trained
workers. Consolidating these offices
under one full-time, trained officer.
at minimum salary of $1,000 a year.
will secure for the county the service
that is necessary to prevent crime and
poverty and to protect the helpless
children. The mothers pension law,

attendance law, the juvenile court,
mean nothing to the children of the
state unless more adequate means of
administra ton is provided"

acting ability and were at perfect
ease on the stage in their presenta-
ton of Patty Makes Things Hum" in
the high school auditorium Friday
night.
Dorothy Kittell as Patty, vivaciou
16-year-old school girl. played the
role perfectly. Strength was added
to the play h Marguerite Knauer as
Patty's sister. Masculine roles were
taken by Norma McGrew, Louis Kit
tell, Ethel Peterson and June Henderr
son and were splendidly acted. Mil
dred Bolinger as Hyachinth, the
maid, kept the "nce in laughter
whenever she was on the stage with
he- III in speaking the negro dialect.
BeIva Webster and Jean St. John as
friends of Mrs. Green played their
roles charmingly.
Between the acts the Hat Dance"
was given by Belva Webster. Norma
McGrew al Rosamond Nyman sang
