BABY WEEK Re ne eet oe eT are ere urna te rae office gets in good working order and things are properly adjusted to guit our Editor, and then every week the column will be at our service; but I am sure the Editor will allow us to use the space this week for the sake of THE BABY and the good it may do, I'm sure most of you have read or heard of BABY WERK, and if you have or have not, after read- ing the article below, published by the ''Children’s Bureau, U. S. De- partment of Labor, Washington, will be only too willing to join and help with any plan suggested by the women of Baltimore. I hope the different clubs are co- operating with each other in some good way to make Babv Week memorable among our people. 1 would suggest the organizing ef Little Mothere’ classes among our girls (and the ¢ is no class of children to whom this duty falls on more heavily than ours) and free instruction given, at a place of meeting designated by those having the local plans in charge, or the appointing of a committee for each district and public meetings held ia all churches and Baby clubs organized for the special nursing and instruction for mothers and prospective mothers, The field is wide and the opportunity to do good is unlimited, and there is no end to the goodthat can be accom- plished. There are 1727 communities con- sidering some preparation for Baby Week, according to the inquiries received by the Children’s Bureau of the U, S. Department of Labor. This number does not include those ef whose interest in the campaign word has come to the Bureau in- directly. The letters about Baby Week are atill coming in from every State in the Union and from every type of community, such as a Colorado set- tdement forty miles from a railroad, 2 club of women on one of the Government reclamation projects, 2 Montana coal mining town with a large foreign population, a south- en mill village, and a club of farm women in a middle western State. Texas has its own Baby Week wlogan— Baby Health is Texas ‘Wealth— and Mississippi has start- ed a competition to secure a slogan for that State. North Dakota re- ports plans for a State-wide essay eontest in the public schools. In a few State campaigns the State Federation of Women’s Clubs, the State University Extension Depart- ment, the State Health officials, and those who are especially in- terested in education are all co- operating in the Baby Week cam- paign. Many large cities are going to have a Baby Week. Definite plans are under way in Albany, Balti- more, Boston, Cleveland, Mil+ waunee, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Richmond, San Francisco, Wash- ington and other cities. New York had a successful Baby Week in 1914 and will probably hold another this year in the late spring. In its suggestions for Baby Week observance the Children's Bureau lays special emphasis on the oppor- tunity it affords for extending per- matvut work for infant welfare, such as infant welfare stations, visiting nursing, special nursing and instruction for — prospective mothers, city inspection of milk, gpecial work for the prevention of blindness, and little mothers’ class- es and home nursing instruction for school girls in the upper grades. Plans fur the nation-wide Baby Week proposed by the General Fed- eration of Women’s Clubs for March 4 to 1L have extended be- yond the United States, A wo- man’s club in the British West Indies has just written to the Federal Children’s Bureau for in- formation about what Baby Week means and expects to initiate a local campaign, Several Canadians have been heard from too, ineluding the Saskatehewsa commissioner of public health. ‘The Paiiippines will take part in the ceiebration of the plan of a Mantle wamen’s elab is carried out. among the clubs throughout the State after the Baby Week in those two cities is over, One town in Maryland which is going to have a birth registration day announces that an enterprising merchant has promise to give a tooth brush to every mother who goes to the City Hall to find out whether her baby’s | birth is registered! .Another com- munity is having a competition for the cleverest window plan for Baby Week publicity CARE OF THE BABY Birth Registration. Has the birth of your baby been registered? If not, you should see to it chat this duty is performed without delay. It may some time jbe of the greatest importance to your child that there be in existence an accurate legal record of his birth, date, place, and parentage. Such a record serves to establish his age beyond question, and through this his right to the legal period of schooling and freedom from labor, It may also serve to establish his right to a dispute inheritance and to establish for him various property or other legal rights which may be in dis- pute. There are numerous instances where the lack of his sort of record has been the cause of serious losses of inheritance and of educational and other rights. In New York City in 1913 the birth records helped to enforce the personal or propertyrights of moie than 138,000 persons, It is, in most states, required by law that the doctor, midwife, or other attendants at birth shall re- port the birth to the registrar of births, but as this duty is not in- frequently neglected, parents should investigate to see whether it has been done properly in the ease of their children. The complete registering of all births is indispensable, not only to the individual, but to the state and the nation. ‘The Federal Government can and does tell us exac.ly how great is the accession to our population each year by immigration, or intake from foreign lands, At each port of landing immigration inspectors record each arrival and tell us his or her nationality, age, sex, des- tination,'and how much money each one brings.. But the Federal Gov- ernment can not go into the states and cities and establish registration ofhces and tell us how any children enter each state by birth. This work must be done by each state separately, We have no national ‘bookkeeping to account for the ebb and flow of human life as an asset and a liability of our civic organ- ism. We have no national records to give our sanitarians and students a basis for their preventive studies. Congress by resolution has urged the states to enact and enforce suit- able registration legislation. The state governments must now act. Most of the States now have ade- quate laws; their enforcement, how- ever, depends to a large extent upon popular support. This sup- port is assured if individual parents ‘will insist upon the registration of each birth. SOUTHERN RACE PREJUDICE. Various Schemes Tried to Thwart the Progress cf Colcred Americans.
