SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION
ORIGINATES SYSTEM
Red croes in Seven States Has Travel.
ing Nutrition Teachers.

The Southwestern Division, Ameri-
can Red Cross, has originated a new
form OF nutrition, instruction which is
being copied by other divisions
throughout the United States. The
Southwestern Division embraces the
states of Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas,
Missouri, New Mexico Oklahoma and
Texas.
This plan is that of the itinerant
nutrition worker Three years ago
two such workers were put into the
field by the division. Last year the
number was increased to seven and
now there are twenty, with a con-
stantly growing demand for more.
The itinerant nutrition worker is
the worker who goes from chapter to
chapter instructing classes In nutri-
tion, talking to schools on proper food
values, addressing Mothers Clubs and
other organizations on the importance
Of proper diet TO correct the results
Of malnutrltion among American chill
dren.
Here is the way the itinerant worker
organizes her work, according to the
Director Of Nutrition Service in st.
Louis: Under the advice of local
physicians who made q school exami-
nation. she plans program for the
children suffering from malnutrition.
This program consists Of instruction to
all school children, with special In
struction to underweights uncer the
advise OF physicians, to mothers Of
children Of pre-school age where these
mothers are made to realize the rela-
tion Of food to growth. TO health, to
bone development. teeth development
and the relation Of food TO blood, even
to heart action. In this mothers are
shown pictures of animal experimen-
tation, where growth is stunted from
tie absence Of enough milk in diet,
where legs become paralyzed when GER
tain foods containing essential vita
mines are kept from diet. Mothers
also are given prenatal instruction In
relation Of food to the development of
the unborn child.
Home visits play a large part in
the reaching of mothers and children
The itine-ant worker remains In
chapter from two to six months In
order TO reach the entire community
with this instruction. She also in
structs local teachers in elementary
nutrition and plans with them on how
TO carry on the work after she has
gone. The following year she returns
for another short period, checking up
O. the results of her former visit and
then opening new classes.
In the states Of the Southwestern
Division the itinerant workers serve
eleven chapters in Arkansas, three in
Kansas, twelve In Missouri, six in
Oklahoma and twenty-five in Texas.

NUTRITION CLASSES
BENEFIT CHILDREN
Improvement in Health and Discipline
and Reduction in Underweisht
Result In Schools.

Twelve hundred and sixty children
in the vicinity Of Chickasha, Okla
homa, developed sturdy little bodies
and healthy alert minds because Of the
nutrition classes conducted under the
auspices of the Grady County Chapter
Of the Red Cross last year. These
children were found to be underweight
due to malnutrition, and while in many
cases the malnutrition was not due to
lack Of food but TO the wrong kind Of
food, the results were the same.
Hot lunches Of properly balanced
diet were put into II schools. The
children were taught what to eat and
how to eat, that is. how much and how
many times a day, and were encour-
aged to eat fruit and vegetables, TO
drink milk, and to eliminate coffee and
sea from their diet and a health rule
contest by which the children were en-
couraged in the practice Of outdoor ex-
erclse and personal hygiene and we'll
ventilated sleeping and living rooms
was inaugurated This all made for
general Improvement In health and
incidentally q decided Improvement in
the discipline In the school.
The percentage OF underweight was
greatly reduced unG the parents were
so much pleased with the Improvement
that they are demanding a continuance
Of the program for another year.

You find few Mexicans. and fewer

Spanard who is making impressive
gestures in the ring today is Ernie
