. ' Baby Health Contest.
I: la also proposed that iu the Child
Welfare Building there shall be a
"baby Health Contest." , The one ob
ject of this contest will be to set up
a standard of health for the -babies.
The absurd features too often cruel
of many baby shows will bo done away
with by this feature. The Babies'
Clinic of Knoxvllle has, agreed to co
operate in the "Baby Health Contest'
Here Is the way in which it will be
carried on : First there will be a stand'
art score card. Then the physical de
velopment of the child is compared
with the score card, and a certificate
or medal la given In accordance with
the facta. There la no competition be
tween babies, but only the effort to
reach a standard. But the very pur
pose of the Child Welfare Department
of the exposition would not be served
unless there were something further.
There will be advices to mothers offer
ed by competent men and women.
Thus the child will be benefited and
also the parents.
These are only two of the many fea
tures that will form a part of the ex
hibits in the Child Welfare Building at
the exposition. Miss Julia C Lathrop. 1
chief of the the Children's Bureau of
the United , States Department of La-.
