child there is no substitute for the
atmosphere Of a happy home.
DR.. Fred Adair, professor Of
Obstetrics and Gynocolgy Of the
University of Chicago who was a
practicing physician in Minneapolis
until few years ago, talked on
prenatal and maternal care for the
child, and mother.
He said that the nursing profess
sion is more completely developed
in the United States than in any
other country. His report closed
with the statement that the know
ledge that it is the inalienable right
of every mother to nurse her baby
and that the mother is the source
of the best known food for the
child, should be created in the
mother by her physician.
DR.. Phillip Van Ingen, Clinical
Professor, Diseases of Children,
Columbia University closed the pro-
gram in Section 1 by outlining a
series of preventive measures which
are generally recognized as of
proven value. These are periodic
health examinations of all children,
vaccination against smallpox and
immunization against diphtheria.
General practitioners reported to
the committee on Medical Care for
Children that parents were not in
sympathy with health examina-
tions. $3.50 of all children have de-
fective teeth. It was shown that the
underlying cause of this is dietetic
control.
He climaxed his address by saying
that Less insistence on health is
needed in the schools and more on
a program of living that will insure
health"

stituted normal growth and devel-
opment. He said it did not mean
the usual or the average, nor did it
mean the best though it ordinarily
meant a combination of all three.
the most important meaning he
wished attached to it was the alb
sence of ill-health or incapacity.
Many individuals who differ from
the average must be thought of as
normal. But great variations often
involve some interference with
function, and it is convenient to
recognize such deviations as abnor-
NAL.
He spoke of the tables which
show the variation and usual re-
lation of weight and height as are
used in our schools. These have
been used to determine whether a
child is up to normal weight with
the implication that the child who
is found to be underweight is prob
ably undernourished. The work of
DR.. Blackfane's committe showed
that deviations from these stand
ards very frequently depend upon
differences in the skeletan proper
tons of the child. The underweight
child very frequently is simply the
child who has slender chest and
narrow hips. He said they were
not quite ready to set up more
complete standards which would
take such differences into account
but he emphasized the danger of
uncritical acceptance of these
standards.
He spoke of the physiological
age" of an individual at that time,
not when his bones are hard but
when all the important physiology
cal processes had been completely
and effectively carried out.
He said that not all periods of
growth and development are equal
ly we'll understood. Maturity, the
end of the process of growth and
development has quite natur-
ally been most extensively stud
led. The baby and the young
child have been studied rather thor
oughly. But there is an important
gap in our knowledge of the new
born infant during the first few
weeks of life.
He spoke of habit formation in
infants. He said the habit he wish
ed to cultivate and any means to
establish it must be physiologi-
cally and psychologically sound and
not run counter-to the normal func-
tioning of the mind or body. That
the child must be handled on reg
ular program so that his activities
will fall into a smooth rhythm
That we must be consistent in our
attitude towards the child and not
encourage him to do on one day
what we would prohibit him on an
other day. But in our efforts tt
obtain regularity and consistency
we must not overtrain the child tt
an inflexable and impersonal rout
inc which will rob him eventually
of his individuality and spontane
ity. For the sound training of

radios, moving pictures, gangs,
books, magazines. We have a foul
nest to clean out in our degraded
marginal magazines. We need to
keep little hands busy, the discip-
line of accepted regular tasks, we
need to permit youth to receive
reward for their own efforts.
My experience has taught me to
forgive almost anything growing
youth may do since maturity of
viewpoint comes at different per-
iods with different people and with
maturity there comes to most of us
stability of outlook which can
usually be depended upon.
In each conscience and tempta-
ton struggle, in each, there is a
driving impulse towards decency
honesty and fairplay. Even Grim
inals shoot square with their kind.
Providence has given an inner
guiding light to all.
After this inspiring address, the
delegates separated to go to the
various sections to which they
were assigned. But an amusing in
cident lightened the descent from
the profound to the ridiculous.
The American Birth Control
League had been vainly endeavor-
ing to get a hearing. They had
sent their expert DR.. Ira S. Vile to
address the Conference, on the
Correlation between a high rate of
infant mortality and ignorance OF
contraception." When all their eff
forts were unavailing, their presi'
dent Mrs. F. Robertson Jones of
New York City issued series of
memorandum. While experts
gave out suggestions as to how to
build a more perfect generation OF
children, Mrs. Jones charged the
conference with CLOSING its eyes
to the one practical measure Tor
race improvement"
DR.. Wilbur settled the matter
finally by CURLY informing her
that, "Our work is with the child.

ception and not before. That be-

DIR. Kenneth Blackfan, Professor of

paper on the growth and Develop

by growth, he meant an increase
in size while development meant
an increase in complexity not only
of the body but of the mind
through the appearance of new
patterns of behavior. He said that
the size of an individual may remain
at a stand still and yet, judged
by other standards, the child may

ants, prairie chickens, quail, grouse,
deer. rabbits, squirrels or any 9TH
er species of wild animals and
gtme birds was a matter of course
during pioneer days. The hunter
who sought cunning privileges was,
for the most part, a resident of the
vicinity, known by sight at least to
the proprietor of the land, his
neighbor in reality; and the same
neighborly feelings prevailed in this
matter as in other affairs. No
sportsman ever thought of request
ing permission to hunt on any tract
of land-nor did he expect to be
questioned as to his right to tress-
pass.
Posted lands have been in evil
dence for many years, but half a
century ago they were the excep-
ton rather than the rule. The mo-
ton of forbidding free entry upon
ones land was not by any means
commonly held nor commonly SYM
pathized with. The farmer who
treated hunters as intruders and
trespassers was himself quite likely
to be criticized.
The farmer of pioneer days whose
lands were hunted over had no
reason to interpret the booming
of shotguns in his fields as so many
signals that his property was being
ruined and ransacked. He knew
that the hunters were neighbors-
friends of his-and his property
would not be damaged and they
could be trusted.
In some sections of this country
though extremely limited-these
old conditions still exist; but in
most sections decided change of
sentiment and of practice has been
wrought. It was inevitable that
this should eventually come. The
number of hunters in the field has
been multiplied by tens Of thous-
ands the past fifty years. They con-
stitute an army of invasion. They
are no longer ones neighbors. They
