tions like the one held here for the
purpose of educating them. This cam
paign is becoming popular in every
state in the union. The bureau sends
a series of letters to prenatal women
for the purpose of helping them care
for themselves and the child and from
500 to 700 Of these are on the list at
all times Anyone wishing to receive
them may do SO by writing to the
Idaho Bureau of Child Hygiene at
Boise. Since June, 1923, the bureau
has examined about $500 babies and
mothers and at least 5000 will have
been examined by the close of the
campaign for this year in October.
ssIdaho has the lowest death rate of
any state in the union, being 6.5 out
of every thousand population. Some
other states have rate of from 20
to 80 and the ordinary state has a
rate of IA to 20 per thousand of pop
ulation. The average for the entire
country is from to 8. These figures
are taken from statistics for 1928.
However, while the death rate is low
as state, the Idaho maternal and in
fant death rate is not low, nor is it
low in the United States, this country
being third or fourth from the bottom

FOR GREATER CHILD HEALTH.

Eighty-seven children and mothers
were examined at the clinic held here
last Thursday and Friday by DR.. E.
w. Almond and two registered nurses
of the Idaho Bureau Of Child Hygiene,
assisted by several ladies of the com
munity. That good interest in this
public service work is taken by our
community was demonstrated by the
number applying for examination, and
no doubht the results will be far
reaching in benefit to the coming gen
Grafton, for the information given the
parents regarding the physical condi-
ton of the children examined will no
doubt be taken advantage of for the
correction of any defects found.
DR.. Almond made the following
statement regarding this health work;
"Thirty three and one-third per
cent of the children in the United
States die before they are five years
old due to the carelessness of the
parents in failing to recognizes early
symptoms of things wrong with the
children. This carelessness is due to
lack of proper knowledge. It is sur
prising the number of intelligent WON
en- who do not know anything about
babies. In this class are included
those who go to high school and col
lege, and by this reason are away
from home when the rest of the fam
lily is brought up. The girl who does
not go to school and stays at home
and helps the mother raise the young
er children knows much more Of value
as a mother. However, when the
time comes, those with an education,
are eager~to learn and become better
mothers in time.
ssIt is the purpose of the Bureau OF
Child Hygiene to induce mothers to
study and learn of the ailments or
