Child Health Conference
Activities Reported

Nurses reports for the month of
August show that the well-baby elm
les were quite successful during the
month. 81 infants and children of
preschool age attended the clinics
held in various parts of the county,
this being more than double that OF
August 1885. The success of the
clinics was largely due to the help
given by volunteers.
Mrs. Johnson reported that her
colored clinic at Takoma Park was
arranged for entirely by most cap
able person in the community and
that no preliminary time had to be
spent by the Health Department
other than to notify this volunteer of
the time scheduled for the clinic. This
volunteer placed notice on a tree
in front of the school and another on
the church door. She made home
visits and sent other notices to per-
sons living farther off. On the day of
ical examination for children from
tories, weighing and measuring the
children and taking care of those who
were waiting.
These clinics, or conferences as
they are usually called, provide med
ical examinations 70 rchildren from
birth to school age. They do not re-
ceive sick children but only those who
are apparently well and who come in
to see if their physical condition, such
as weight, teeth, throat and heart, are
normal and the parents receive ad-
vice for care of the children and for
correcting any defects which are
found. The Health Department urges
periodic examinations of children
under school age at. least twice year
and much more frequently in the
early months of life.
