Americas Safe

/ thought we were getting fat
and lazy and snooty and generally
full OF fleas-
I thought we'd lost our old-time
spunk and faith
But I'm here to eat my words
AMERICAS SAFE!
I've seen our men and women
working their little clearings in
the Southern swamps--
I've seen them riding herd on
lonely mesas--
And harvesting under broiling
sun on Texas farms
And sinking shafts on desolate
mountain ranges
I've seen them bargaining for
soup vegetables at the street
stands of New York
And teaching their babies to
swim on the banks of the Missis-
sippi--
And building homes from rail.

And gathering pumpkins in

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY DR.. Louis E. Bisch-

NO mother-and no father. either,
~ for that matter-likes to adj
nit that the child of her own
flesh and blood can possibly be
mentally defective.
And yet, the earliest possible
recognition OF mental defect is
absolutely essential il these handi.
capped little people are to be
benefited at all.
Is 1t not better. my good parent,
to face facts as they are rather
than to delude yourself with fond
hopes that the child's evident de.
fectiveness is merely a passing
phase and that sooner or later
+, he will outgrow it?
And the best of it is that fathers
and mothers often worry them
selves half to death after their
own common sense makes them
suspicious of their little ones
continued backwardness, only to
find, when once they have plucked
up sufficient courage to consult
an expert. that some simple thing
is the cause of all the tIouble
which can readily be remedied.
II baby's teeth are excep-
tionally slow in appearing or il
Il tn1I l. tHNy
of the second year why wonder
and worry? Why not take the
child to a capable doctor or to
hospital clinic and make sure
whether Of not everything Is all
right? !,
When the child goes to school,
inherent defects are likely to be-
come more noticeable TO the par
ents than before that time.
II a child cannot keep up with
the other children of his age
after due allowance Is made for
the newness of the surroundings,
1t is always best to have a talk
with the teacher, asking her spe.
cially to observe the boy or glTl
and compare notes with your lind
ings made at home.
Sometimes 1t is some physical
ailment that is preventing the
child's mind from developing at a
normal rates. Sometimes some.
thing Is wrong with the childs
diet. sleep or habits. Sometimes
the so-called glands of internal
secretion are at fault. Sometimes
alas, the brain itself Is not func'
tioning properly and special. indi-
vidual care and training are in
dicated.
Nowadays, there are psycholo-
gists who make the mental test
ing of children a lifework. They
know what the average child at
the various ages Is capable of do
ing and they can tell when the
mental faculties are not working
as they should.
Such tests do not take very
long to perform and your doctor
or teacher should be able to tell
you where such service may be
obtained.
Indeed, 1t Is a wise plan to have
your child tested mentally about
every other year or so besides
having him looked over physically
each birthday. Very often a slight
mental handicap can be over
come readily If only it is discov'
cred early enough.
Often we note that a child'S
memory is not very good or that
he has great difficulty in learning
10 read or write or do arithmetic.
1t Is dangerous. to ascribe such
hackwardness to the fact that you
never were clever at numbers
yourself or that the particular de-
feet Is a family trait and OF no
consequence.
