The Oregon Congress of Mothers and

their fame is spreading far and wide,

Barents' Educational Bureau stands
ready to help in baby tests and in giv
ing advice and literature regarding pre
natal care, child welfare, care of the
mother, feeding of the child, modifica

The Visiting Nurse Association here
Is most helpful and under the leader
ship of Mrs. Robert Dieck and her
board and with the co-operation of
capable, devoted nurses, the poor moth
ers and children are cared for tenderly
nd with as much interest as is shown
in the rich.
All the social and child welfare agen
cies of the state are active and effi
cient. The high standard of the Port
land milk supply and the good work of
the Bureau of Public Health assure the
proper surroundings for the children.
There is still much to do and the work
may go on. but contrast conditions here
with those of other places. The death
rate here is extremely small, a mere
trifle.
But look at this report from San
Francisco:
"That 89 of every 1000 babies born
In this city during the year succumb
before reaching the age of 12 months
Js the statement made by the New York
Bureau of Medicinal Research, at pres
ent working on San Francisco as a
community from all angles.
"Not only is the citylosing too many
Infants, according to the report, but
the health of schoolboys and girls
should be improved by careful city di
rection and the food supply improved
by better inspection methods. The cli
matic conditions, says the document
are such that health conservation is a
simple matter with more care shown by
human agents.
"The municipality spends but 2 per
cent of all its money used for health
conservation toward the reduction of
infant mortality. This is the smallest
amount laid out by any American city
of the San Francisco class. The report
on Infants Is as follo.ws:
"San Francisco has very- favorable
climatic conditions no wide extremes
of temperature; there is less congestion
of population and consequently less
menace to the health of infants; there

is probably less poverty, and the gen
eral social and economic conditions
throughout the community are better
than in most cities of the same
class. Add to this the fact that the
milk supply is uniformly good and we
nave a condition very favorable, indeed,
to a low death rate among infants.
Thus far, however, all the measures
necessary to lower this infant mor
tality rate still further have not been
put into effect by the health depart
ment. Work has not been organized
with this purpose in view nor have suf
ficient funds been made available to he
department for such work. As pre
viously pointed out, San Francisco is
spending less than any other city of its
class in the United States for the con
servation of child life, only about 2
per cent of Its total appropriation for
health conservation being used for this
purpose.
"The reduction of infant mortality
demands that the following measures
be put into effect:
"Furnishing of clean milk supply of
low bacteria count.
"Inspection and regulation of the
practice of midwifery through licens
ing, inspection and education of mid
wives. "Licensing and regulation by inspec
tion of all maternity homes and other
places where infants are cared for.
"Establishment of a system of pre
natal educational work through visits
by nurses to expectant mothers.
"Follow up by nurses of all classes
of birth not under the care of a pri
vate physician and the education of
mothers in the proper care of babies.
"Establishment of infant clinics in
those sections of the city where infant
mortality is highest.
"A continuous campaign for the im
provement of birth records."
