SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. C. "A. Z. Reed

You, as . mother, know that
4 the biggest job you have, il
bringing up your children.
Does father help?
II not. father needs q little
bringing up himself
One OF the chief problems with
which workers in maternity and
child welfare cenlteFs have always
been faced is the great power of
the father in the home.
He is so powerful that he can,
IL he wishes. wreck, the whole
work There is no doubt that the
welfare workers have partly ere
ated this difficulty for them
selves.
The very name, Maternity and
Child Welfare" suggests that
when the movement was begun
the fathers were forgotten. III.
in the earliest days. they had
secured that power for good and
not for evil. for interest and not
for indifference, the history of
the movement would have been
different. 1t Is not, however, too
late to begin.
How often does one hear frosn
4 mother, on the subject Of regu-
lar feeding, q remark such 40
this: Il want to carry out your
instructions, doctor, but my hus-
hand gets so angry when the
baby cries at night that | have

and quiet"
- or. about the health Of school
children: MY husband won't
hear OF the boy having his teeth
seen to, or his tonsils cut; they
never did these things when he
was at school. and he doesn't
like these new-fangled IDEAS. .
The Maternity and Child Wei
fare Center at its best il
honely gathering where the doc
tor, sister, mothers and children
are all friends. Can no place Be
found In it for the father?
This is not a matter for the
local authority, with its dignity
and prestige, to take up. The
first step should be taken by the
center itself. The fathers have
heard OF the center az a body
anxious to help their wives aBd
children. The doctor and nurse
should therefore send out IA
joint invitation to the fathers
Of the children, inviting them to
an evening talk and informing
them that coffee. tea and smokes
will be provided. Minor bribery
of this kind, though regrettable,
seems to be necessary. 1t took
more than that to get the moth
ers to the center ia the early
days. Together with this invita-
ton, the mothers should be urged
to make the husbands come. The
author offered as an induceEnent
that he would give them Il thor
ough good tall1ing-to for not
looking after their wives and chill

to get them to respond in large
numbers. VA
The first talk should be on gen.
eral subjects. DR.. Geffen started
by saying he had asked them to
come because he could not get
their wives to look after the babies
properly, 80 he thought that the
best thing to do was to get them
to do It themselves. He explained
the good points OF breast feeding
and the necessity Of regularity,
