COULD BE AVOIDED


The Children's Code Commission
is studying the problem of conserv-
ing the health of children. More than
eighty per cent of the babies born in
the United States come into this
world with a chance to be healthy
Only about seventeen per cent grow
up with normal bodies. A small per
centage of these unfortunates are
the result of accident or epidemics,
but think of this:
DR.. Thomas D. Wood, chairman of
the committee on health problems Of
the National Council of Education,
reports: 100000 children were
shown in the last census in the United
States to have organic heart disease;
one million children now have tuber-
culosis; six million children are suffer
ing from malnutrition not because of
poverty.
More than two million American
children have weak foot arches, weak
spines or other joint defects. Our
crime against childhood is that most
of these handicaps of the first sixteen
years of life could be avoided.
The Children's Code is proposing
physical examination in the schools
in order to locate these defects be-
fore they develop into lifelong handi-
caps. The examinations are made,
the parents advised of the findings of
the school nurses and the doctors, but
no treatment is given or required. 1t
is then the duty of parents to act for
the good of their child.
The Code Commission also would
provide for the recognition of phys
ical education in the department of
education and the establishing of
courses for teachers in the normal
schools.

Always the Extra Woman.

1t is true that for every even 100
births Of girl infants there are los
boys born, but Of those belonging TO
both sexes remaining alive at the end
of the first year. there are just 100
girls alive TO 90 boys.
Moreover, the ratio of survival in
creases slightly in favor of the girls
throughout life. Therefore at all age
periods there is a more or less decided
excess of females over males.
Primitive man found this out for
himself, without the aid of mortality
tables or adding machines. He met
the problem in bis own naive fashion,
according to taste, by drowning the ex-
ira babies, selling them into slavery,
or letting them grow and practicing
polygamy-C f. MacGlll in
