Malnutrition, when car- ried far enough, becomes plain star- e ed as a result, not of insuflicient food, but of improper food. To relieve this situation a plan for instructing the children in correct health habits has been devised by the National Tuberculosis association in co-operation with Dr. W. P. R. Enserson of Boston, the nutrition expert, and will be inaugurated in schools throughout the country as soon as possible. The plan will by no means be an experiment, since it/ will follow the lines of the Modern Health Crusade, lin which over 6,000,000 school chil- dren of normal weight are now en- |rolled. In determining what children s malnourished, ded that a child cent under normal age and height is clearly suff g from malnutrition. It is on this basis that the estimate 000,000 littie ones of school age suffering from insuflicient - nourish- ment in this countiy has been made. In the plan specially prepared for the benefit of the malnourished chil- dren, each child will be required through his teach d parents to keep a “chore record” card. This card, which is to be submitted at regular intervals to the teacher, indicates the performances of health duties—food, bathg, sloep, ete. The chore records will also supply a table showing the normal weight that the child should have. His actual weight and normal we be .plotted on the chart in cur that children and parents can gr jcally picture the change in phy: condition. By doing the cleven chores faith- fully for periods of not less than five, ten or fifteen weeks the child becomes a squire, knight or knight baneret and is entitled to wear the insignia of the Modern Health Crusade. When he gains normal weight he ma; n advanced honors by performing B dard Modern Health Crusade chores and be admitted to the Health Round Table through physical fitness tests. NEW ST.
