In Here in the Interest of the
Crippled Children's
Law.
CHILDRENSAFEGUARDED
No Experiments by Doctors Opera
tions Cmi Not lie Performed In
Any Ctaee Without The
Consent of Parent.
Prof. Fred D. Morritt, professor
of social service in the extension
department of the University of Ore
gon, and author of one of the best
laws to be passed by the Btato legis
lature, which law is known as "The
Crippled Children's" law, is making
a tour of the state In the Interest of
the same. Under the provisions of
thle law any hlld under the age of
sixteen years, who is suffering from
a deformity or malady, which surgic
al or medical treatment would prob
ably benefit, and whose parents are
unable to stand the expense of such
treatment, can be sent to the hos
pital under the control of the medical
college of tho University of Oregon,
to receive treatment without ex
penso to tho parents, the county
Judgo to act as the judge in the case.
The University of Oregon has made
arrangements whereby hospital care
can be hod at practically as low a
cost as in any Btate where this law
now exists, while the medical treat
ment or surgical operations, are to
"be performed by tne doctors cf the
university medical college free of
charge.
A splendid feature of the law Is
t'.Uat children are safeguarded In their
treatment, no doctor being allowed
to experiment and surgical opera
'tions cannot be performed without
the consent of parents or guar i an,
making every treatment a practical
one.
Oregon, by passing this law which
became effective May 21, 1917, Is
the seventh state to. line up in this
great work, the others being New
York, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Kan
sas, Nebraska and Iowa.
The purpose of Prof. Merrltt In
making the tour of the state Is to
give a knowledge of this law before
the people and eecure good assist
ance for the county judge in carry
ing out the provisions of the act, se
curing while here the services of

ions. One genial bad man explained
that he had traveled considerably, in
fact he laughingly said that he had
visited many of the world's greatest
prisons. He said "queer, too, but
I have always remained there as a
special guest."
When asked as to the number of
