Malnutrition is
By No Means Fad
First 1-NmmiMaI In (iHlins; Child
Well Is liciilox inu ( aii>o Of
Defer Ik
Malnutrition is not a fad.
It in a condition found in elxildron
UilMlly of school ago which if not
corrected tends to produce .serious
CQ|lSPf|iionr?w .
The term means badly nourished,
and not lack of nourishment, as
some suppose. " The condition in
found in well to ^lo families an well
as in families of meager circum
stances. Dr. WillkJin It. I*. Emer-1
son, child specialist, says that at i
least oh?-third of the children of
school ago and pre-schodl age are
underweight or malnourished.
The main system of malnutrition
in children is underweight and the
chief causes that have been assign
ed to it are in the order of their im
portance: (1) physical defects
and disease, .(2) Irck of home con
trol, (31 oven-fatigue, (4) improper
dftt, (\ faulty health habits.
Dr. Emerson says that the first
essential of getting a child well of
malnutrition is to remove the
causes; that is to remove the phys
ical defects, to establish home con
trol. to prevent over-fatigue and the
correction of food and health habits.
The nutrition class, which is a
feature of the Modern Health Cru
sade work and which is being con
ducted in a large number of the
schools of this State, has proved to
be the most effective means for
correcting malnutrition yet found.
The results have been that mal
nourished children have been made
to gain in their .usual environment
e,t the rate erf from two hundred per
cent to eleven hundred per cent of
the av< rage rate of gain of a normal
child.
For the rf.ison that the child of
underweight ha:- 1< s p i-lance to
insidious disease^, particularly to
fuherculosi:,, workers in the field of
tuberculosis consider the preven
tion of this disease at this point pro
bfiV:y the most effective' means of
prevention. Dy building up iIk
< weight and by safeguarding
his health at other points his resi*
tar?-e in built up not only against
tuberculosis hut against many other
d'sease's.
The nutrition efusade is featured
throughout the T'nited Stut> : by the
National Tuberculosis Association,
Sanatorium. N. the expense in
both oru-anlaztions helm: tat !? > >n
