YOUTH HEALTH
DRIVE URGED BY
MISS LENROOT
Well Born Generation
Would Aid u. S.

Broad program to provide ad-
equate health, educational and
vocational opportunities for the
nations youth was proposed yes
lterday by Miss Katharine Lenroot.
chief of the Children's Bureau OF
the Labor Department.
Miss Lenroot, in a Labor Day
radio address, declared many of
the nations problems would dis
appear "if we could have a single
generation well born, well cared
for, well educated, and well trained
for useful activity"
"ACCENT" ON AGED
She declared the accent" is be-
ing placed on old age rather than
on youth, that under the Social
Security Act at least six times as
much is being spent for the care
of the aged than for needy depend
ent children.
Deploring the fact that there is
an increasing proportion of old
people, with an accompanying de-
cline in the proportion Of children,
Miss Lenroot asserted the death
rate of babies in the first month
of life could be cut in half.
PROTECTION NEEDED
Health and social protection,
public assistance and educational
opportunity are needed" she de-
clared, Ito develop boys and girls
into strong and socially useful
men and women. But opportunity
for sharing in the economic life
of the nation, under conditions re.
garded as just and safe, is per-
haps the most important to all
the ideals which impelled OUR fore
fathers to found q new nation on
this continent.
The sacrifices which a nation
or people is willing to make for its
children and young people are an
index of its confidence in its own
destiny.
"The time has come again for
assessing all of our resources for
wiping out the needless sacrifice
of maternal and infant life, and
for developing homes, schools and
communities where childhood may |
have a chance to flourish, and
where disease, delinquency and
crime may not gain a foothold."
