It haj been discovered that one- ell.h(h of ... children born, die under tbe age of one year. It ha also been found that the poorer district of tbe city are neglected by the city government and 25 per cent ot tbe children die. Expert Investigation shows that lack ot proier care, food, housing, unsanitary surroundings and dust are the chief causes and can be remedied. . Bu'letins on the care of children can be obtained by writing directly lo the Children's bureau, Washington, D. C. Thousands of these have been dis tributed with astonishing results in lessening this mortality. Public edu cation la carried on by newspaper ar ticles, books, magazines and lectures. Dr. Strong la spending a few weeks in- Portland with the Parent-Teacher associations gathering data for a new bulletin on the Intellectual develop ment of children. Exhibits are plan ned to which children are asked to bring sometbing they have made or in which they are most Interested. "The aim is to discover what they think. The results are startling." Mrs. Strong said. "Children are far more influenced by each other than by parents or teachers. Especially have few fathers Influenced their chil dren to do or make anything. Some mothers direct the activities ot their children, and some teachers, but not enough.
