In all Simmons MAKE THE CHILD FIT FOR SCHOOL ISAIM Health Campaign Inaugurat- ed by Welfare Society Will Continue Six Weeks. STUDY OF MALNUTRITION Co-Operation of Parents in the Movement Regarded Factor of Prime Importance. “Make the child fit for school” is the slogun adopted for a six-week health campalgn initiated by the Child Welfare Society and planned for the benefit of all District children of pre-school age—namely, from two to six years old. This special cam- paign, which has the enthusiastic in- dorsement of Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, and public health officials generally is bezinning today and will Jast until February 25. ! The principal object is to deter- i mine, by the record of height and ‘weight of as many children as pos- sible, the presence or absence of mal- ! nutrition. Malnutrition is almost al- . ways the result of conditions opera- tive in the pre-school period—which !is, therefore, the golden period for preventive measures. There is us- lually a physical basis for malnutri- Child Welfare Soclety point out and it I8 incumbent on parents and guard- lians to “take stock™ of their most valuable possessions—their children —fand assure them a proper start in life. ~ Parents’ Co-Operation Urged. A factor of prime importance in this campaign is the full co-opera- | tion of parents, which the society { hopes may prove to be 100 per cent. “Let parents make it their business { to improve the efficiency of their chil- |dren during school life by attention [to_their physical needs in the pre- ischool period,” is the plea made by Dr. Harry S. Bernton, director of the {Child Welfare Society, whose staff of {nurses is prepared to weigh and meas- jure the youngsters every week day {from 11 o'clock until noon at the fol- {lowing centers: Center 1, Georgetown Hospital: center 2100 G street Inorthwest: center 3. Children’s Hos- ipital; center 4, ¢ street north- iwest: center 3, 1235 4% street south- {west: center 6. 900 Maryland avenue {northeast; center 7, 1130 K street southeast; center 8, §2 K street north- and center 10, Hamline Church, 1500 9th street northwest (Wednesday aft- ernoon only). Methods Are Outlined. Children found to be undernour- ished will, when possible, be referred examination, while indigent cases will receive attention at the chil- dren’s conferences conducted at the various health centers and will be recommended to appropriate public agencies for corrective treatment. Startling evidence of the prevalence of malnutrition among school chil idren of the District is contained in the report of Dr. Joseph A. Murphy. chief medical and sanitary inspector for schools, for the vear 1919-1920 His report gave these surprising fig- ures: Of 3.913 pupils examined in fourteen selected schools, only 7.8 per nearly 68 per cent were more or less below normal; 29.5 per cent werr {actually 10 per cent or more below normal, while 7.4 per cent were more than 10 per cent overweight. Nearly 67 per cent out of 329 children ex- amined in the Kkindergarten grade were underweight. The average {number of pounds underweight was nearly seven pounds. The proportion of seven pounds to the average weight of a school child gives food for care- ful thought. There is usually a physical basis for malnutrition, members of the medical and nursing staffs of the Child Wel fare Society point out. The fact that a child appears to be well does not preclude either the possibility ot | malnutrition nor the presence of | physical defects. The fact that a | child appears normal in weight does {not always mean that he or she actually is normal. Only weighing |and measuring and subsequent com parison with an i east; center 9, Freedman's Hospital, {to the family physician for further | cent were of exact normal weight:)] I tion, physicians and officials of the,discloses the actual facts. i The Shopping Center—11th and G S Y.

Many parents believe that | the beginning of school attendance, | with its novelty, its mental strain | and hours indoors, logically accounts for underweight conditions. This is entirely erroneous, according to pub- lic health experts, who state that such a child is underwelght at .school | because he was underweight before he started in school. Views of Health Officer. Dr. William C. Fowler, District health officer, in discussing the cam-, paign, takes occasion to express his! appreciation of the splendid work done by the Child Welfare Society. ' “The ladies at the head of this or-i ganization,” he says, “deserve the! greatest credit for their untiring ef- | forts in behalf of the infants and young children in Washington, and are deserving of the wholehearted support of the entire community. 1| hope the proposed campaign will be | a complete succes !
