D. T.. Should Broaden
Service 10 Cripp|es,
DR.. Rutland Says
Program Is Excellent
so Far as 1t Goes
Social Workers Told

Washingtons program for care of
crippled children is excellent so far
as it goes" but does not include all
handicapped children, DR.. George G.
Rutland, District health officer, told
the health division of the Council of
Social Agencies at meeting yeSter-
day at the Y. w. c. A., Seventeenth
and K streets NV.
DR.. Rutland pointed out that
many States offer care for children
with speech difficulties and emo
tional and physical handicaps not
included in the program here.
1859 Cripples Registered.
Miss Dorothy T. PearSe, medical
social worker and one of the speakers
who described phases of the local
program, said there are 1859 Grip
pied children on the Health De-
partment'S register, or $50 more than
the number listed last year. The
increase probably indicates that
agencies and private physicians are
making more reports, she explained,
and does not necessarily mean there
are actually more crippled children.
DR.. Milton Greenberg, pediatrician
at Gallin9cr Hospital, termed the
Gallinger clinic for crippled chi
dren one of the best in the country,
and said remarkable results have
been obtained in cardiac cases by
close folloW-upS in the home after
hospital treatment.
50 a Week Examined.
An average of so children week
are examined by physicians in the
orthopedic division of the program,
according to Dr. o. Anderson Engh.
Most frequent deformities, he said,
are congenital club feet, dislocation
of the hip and congenital conditions
OF the spinal column.
Miss Stella Mucha, public health
nursing supervisor, stressed the i'm
portance of locating children's ply
sical handicaps in the early stages
and the major role that proper Diet
and living conditions play in pre-
venting development of Gripping
conditions.
DR.. Robert E. Moran, plastic sur
geon, urged that physical defects in
children be corrected as soon after
birth as possible.
