| NEEDS OF HEALTH
Educator Condemns Stand
ardized Treatment of Chill
dren and Cure.AIl Foods.

Health fads are proving detrimental
to health education In this country
according to DR.. Hugh Grant Rowell
director of health education at Teach
ers College, Columbia University. DR.
Rowell's views are contained in a report
which will be issued in pamphlet form
by the State Board of Health of Mary
land for public education.
DR.. Rowen says that many health
educators, in their zeal to undertake
advanced projects. neglect fundamental
principles of health education. He
q iticizes the practice of standardizing
such conditions as malnutrition Of chill
dren and tonsil trouble. and needlessly
alarming parents in many cases.
Tests Termed Unscientifie.
eve lay ourselves open to criticism"
according to DR.. Rowell, by such silly
practices as segregating children with
mild variations in weight and having
lettuce and oranges. 1t is deplorable.
We must recognize that weight varia-
ton is only symptom-we are stalk
ing all on one test-an utterly unscien-
tific proceeding. If child is really
malnourished, he needs a great deal
more than card white. weight right or
my lady love Is a loaf of whole wheat
bread to bring him back to normally.
And we forget that every child has an
optimum of his own"
Mothers are being deluded by waves
of popular psychological health ma
terial, broadcast from irresponsible
sources, declares DR.. Rowell. He said
that this was particularly true of nu-
tritional advices. He added that news
papers and the better class of maya
zines were constantly fighting against
this dangerous, II well meant. propa-
ganda.
Finds New Ills Created.
New diseases are created" continued
DR.. Rowell. for which the product in
question Is the panacea. Foods and
certain manufactured products. of dis
dinct merit when properly used, are
sold on the basis of cure-alls. Sick
industries are brought back to dividends
through frightening parents or seduc-
ing them into food uses which cannot
help being injurious. Protests on such
advertising copy are politely answered
on the put up or shut up basis. I'M
portant national magazines have to en-
ploy scientific experts to guide them
against too fraudulent claims"
Or. Rowell charges the medical pro-
fession with shortsightedness in regard
to advertising. He said that doctors
were partly responsible for the lack of
authentic health information because
of their failure to cooperate with news
papers in putting honest health facts
before the public The medical profess
sion must learn to present itself more
effectively to the public, he said.
