HOLD FIRST BABY Children Under Six Years Old to be Weighed and Measured. The first clinic for the registration i of children in St. Joseph county will , be held Friday atternoon nt the home of Mrs. George Hepler 3t j Clav twn. Children under fcix vfari t are to be weighed and measured to ascertain their physical condition. For every normal child at eacn tage ctf its development there is a standard weight and measure and the object of the children's regibtra- j tion just beginning in this county is. to discover what children tfo no; ' measure up to standard and why they do not. It is estimated that 300.000 children under five years of aye die annually in the United States. According to the opinion of experts, at leas 100,000 of these lost lives might be saved through proper attention and care. Through the council of national defense, a nation-wide registration of children under six year of age has begun as the tirst move in cutting down the appalling death late- of children. Indiana's quota in this child welfare movement is '1,VJ2. The question of how to begin is answered by the medical committee of the council of national defense to the effect that by applying the regular babied clinic test of weighing and measur!ng the children it may be ascertained what children are in the greatest danger and need the most attention in every community. Stations at Schools. The committee in charge of the I registration In South Bend plans to ! have physicians and nurses station ed at each of the registration booths, located In the city schools, where parents are requested to take their children. While it is allowable for parents to measure and weigh their own children, parents are asked that the children receive the attention of a physician at this time. This may be done by bringing the children to the registration stations or by securing the services of the family physician. Physicians will inform parents as to the state of the children's health and advise the course of treatment in cases of ailment. By means of a scale of weights and measurements printed on the legistration cards, parents may keep themselves posted on the physical fitness of their children. It has been stated that many of the physical defects which caused the rejection of one-third of the men coming up for examination in the tirst draft are believed to date from some slight trouble neglected in early childhood. That a higher i standard of nhvsical htness in the i rising generation, can he only by greater . attention physical condition of the of today is pointed out by t.,0,i assured i , to the ,.biM.-ßr. i the chil dren's bureau.
