CAMPAIGN TO SAVE BABIES OF INDIANS Three-FiIIhsflfi;n Die Belore Age ol Five Years January 22, 1916 To Superintendents and Other Em- Y ployces of the United States In- | dian Service: In an address before the congress on Indian Progress held at San Fran- cisco in August of last year I said: “It is our chief duty to protect the Indian’s health and to save him from premature death. Before we educate * .him, before we conserve his proper we should save his life. If he is to be perpetuated, we must care for thoe children. We must stop the tendency of the Indian to diminish in number and restore a condition that will in- sure his increase. Every Indian hos- | pital bed not necessarily occupied with | | { those suffering from disease or in- jury should be available for the mo- | ther in childbirth. Tt is of first im- portance that we begin by 71 tab- lishing the health and constitution of Indian children. Education and pro- tection of property are highly impor- tant but everything is secondary to the basic condition which makes, for the perpetuation of thé race.’” That thought has deepened its hold upon my convictions. We must guarantee to the Indian the first of inalienable rights—the right to live. No race was ever creat- ed for utter extinction. The chief “toncern of all ethies and all and all philosophi life. Something Fundamental Here. We cannot solve the Indian prob- | lem without Indians.| We cannot educate their children unless they are kept alive. -« All our Indian schools, reservations, individual allotments and accumu- lated. incomes tend pathetically to- wards a wasted altruism if main- tained and conserved for a withering | decadent people. If we have an Indian policy wor- thy of the name, its goal must be an enduring and sturdy race, true to the noblest of its original instincts and virtues and lovally sympathetic | with our social and national life; a body of efficient citizens blending their unique poise and powers with | keen and sleepless vigor of the white | man. | Warfare Against Disease. We must, therefore, renew daily | our warfare against the arch foes of | efficiency—disease. We must begin at the right place— not only with the infant at its moth- ey’s breast but with the unborn gen- efation. The new campaign for Health in which' T would enlist you is first of all to Save the Babies! Statistics startle us with the fact that approximately three-fifths of the Indian infants die before the age of five years. i *“ Of what use to this mournful mor- tality are our splendid equipped schools, Help Reduce Percentage. I earnestly call upon every Bureau employ frightful Indian : ce to help reduce this | percentage! Superintend- ents, Teachers, Physicians, Matrons, Nurses, everyone can do something by instruction or example, the phy- sician with his science, the nurse with her trained skill, the matron with her motherly solicitude, all of us by personal hygiene, cleanliness and sobriety. The simplest rules of motherhood avplied under intelligent and friendly direction would save most of the Indian babies who annually fill un- timely grav. T want to send thisg afety, as far as ressible; into every home of an In- dian mother whether that home be a tepee, a tent, a log house with dirt flocrs or a more comfortable abode. Means Hard Work., This means work, hard work, but the r ard will be living souls, X1 shall expect each superintendent to acquaint himself with the home conditions of every Indian family on the reservation and to adopt practical and@ effective means for quick and certain improvement. Superintendents must organize such a system of co-operative information through their employes as will enable m to do this, exercising, of course, €at care and discre n in gather- ing the requisite information, Educational Propaganda. The educational propaganda against disease must, of course, be steadily in- creased and strengthened. Our In- dian schools, where so ny of the rising generations are embled, are well organized and should be a mighty nstrumental for health and higher of life. In their edu ion of I hope to see added emphasis to such subjects as home ing, child welfare and other- | , the sanitation, arrangement and mapagement of the home and that nothing reasonable shall be spared to fit every Indian girl for intelligent housekeeping and for attractive home- aking. There i is among the Indians a children, but too oft mother, regarded the burden bearer the wife, and T wi th as treated h we mig see this habit overcome, for it is dis tinctly barbaric. I want to see devel- oped and prevalent in every Indi sckool from the least to the larges thAt modern and truly chivalrous spirit that recognizes and respects the sacredness of womanhood. I should like to have every Indian boy leave school with this lofty and just sen- timent fused into his character, os the picture in the porcelain, because TOO LATE FOR CLASSIFICATION, WANTED—Young man desiring o leave High school, would like a Nposition for advancement.

While, therefore, this appeal aims primarily at the safety and health of the child and is intended to enforce the thought that the future of the Indian race may depend vitally upon what we shall be able to accogplish for its new generation, it is als a ge of re-enforcement to every power ir home ance and every- ‘effort expressed or put forth within the Indian Ser- vice in behalf of the adult against trachoma and every oth- | er disease; against the liquor curse and the use of any kind of enervat- ing drug or dove. T look to the ools chiefly to safeguard the bo: and girls enrolled there against these deadly scourges and there must be no abatement hut rather renewed and continuing energies in this direction. In closing, I ask every employee to do his or her part in widening our work against disease until our Indian reservations hecome the home of heal- thy. happy. bright-eyed children with a fair start in life and our schools become impregnahle defenses against every enemy to healthy and high- minded boys and gi tuberculosi CATO SELLS, Commissioner.
