ciation in cooperation with the health department several weeks ago.
 Although child health finds more and more year round emphasis placed upon it, Child Health day, the annual observance of which will take place on Sunday, May l, is all ready claiming the attention of pub lie health and community leaders in every city, town and village, the state department of health said in its weekly bulletin today.
 The Child Health day slogan for 1888 will be: Speed Children on the Road to Health-Every community to make full use of its resources to insure to children safe birth, normal growth, and protection against dis ease and accident in their progress from infancy to maturity"
 . Sermons Suggested
 Since May day comes on Sunday this year, and unusual opportunity will be presented for sermons on child health and many pastors are already planning to take advantage of this opportunity, the bulletin stated. Since Sunday does not lend itself to all types of children health observance, however, the 1888 ob- servance will be spread to three days, Saturday, Sunday and Mon- day, so that the regular festivities will again focus attention on healthy, happy children as the con- munity,s greatest asset.
 While children will engage in their own programs, of recent years the May day revaluati ton of child health has come about through public pro- grams at which leaders especially concerned with child health bring messages and the latest scientific facts to show parents how public health activities assist their individ- ual efforts to keep their children healthy. Such activities in Connec- ticut include the monthly wei child conferences in the outlying sections and the weekly conferences in the larger cities, where local physicians make frequent examination 10 de- tect incipient physical defects which if not immediately corrected by the family physician may prove handi- caps to health at later time.
 Special Clinics
 A factor lending particular i'm portance to the 1888 Child Health day is the opening for the first time this year of the special clinics for crippled children. This year, too, is seeing more and more emphasis placed on the early discovery and correction of dental defects as ia pre- ventive measure against health handicaps in children. Prevention is today the keynote of public health so child health activities include ef- forts along the line of proper nutri- tion, improvement of the family food supplies and school lunches, emphasis on the expectant mother S diet, and immunization against
