CHILD HEALTH DAY TO BE
OBSERVED IN STATE MAY 1
To Emphasize Right of Children
to Health and Happiness

Maryland will join with other
states on May first in the nation
wide celebration Of Child Health Day.
The purpose OF the observance is to
focus the attention of every grown-up
on the right of every child in the
country to health and happiness and
to protection from disease and harm
full conditions, not only on May Day
but every day and all the year round.
DR.. ]. H. NJ. Knox, Jr., Chief OF the
Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State
Department of Health is chairman OF
the Maryland Child Health Day Com
mittee which is composed of repre-
sentatives of all organizations inter-
ested in the health and welfare Of the
children of the State. "There are
two phases of the celebration of Child
Health Day." DIR. Knox said, 1.-THE
children's observance of the day,
which is care-free and is associated as
it always has been with the spring
festival and with appropriate health
games and exercises and the more
serious observance by grown-ups on
whom the responsibility falls for Sc
curing the rights of children to
growth, development and opportunity.
"The ideal to be striven for was
outlined by President Hoover in the
Children's Bill of Rights in connec-
ton with the first celebration OF
Child Health Day, several years ago.
What the Bill of Rights seeks to rea-
lie for every child may be summa-
rized as follows:
ITO be born well, with sound
mind in a sound body.
"To be adequately nourished and
tenderly cared for.
ITO be brought up in proper sur
roundings.
ITO have regular and adequate
medical supervision.
"To be trained physically, mentally
and spiritually so that the best that
is within the child may have full OPP
portunity for development and ex-
preston.
SIN connection with the observance
of Child Health Day this year, every
parent and every community are
asked to let the day serve as start
ing point for all-the-year-round CO.
operation for child health and pro-
lection"

ing, his subject being Vocational
Guidance" Mr.. Wright, who is a
student of Psychology, very efic-
iently illustrated his subject with
many of the present methods of
vocational problems. He said in
part that a tremendous turnover
of labor each year, is due to the in
ability of the employee to right
fully adapt himself to given task,
therefore causing dissatisfaction Of
mind and loss of position; which
results in huge liabilities in the
he is employed. The task of a
Psychologist in Vocational Guid-
ance is to properly fit the man to
a given task, that may be either
vocational or professional guild
ance, to insure the stability of eff
fciency. Mr.. Wright also pointed
out that our Public School system
with properly trained instructors,
were largely responsible for the
fure Vocational Guidance of their
pupils, especially in The grades. w.
