"Origin -of the present' Child
Health demonstrations goes back
to the period immediately before
the i war. Among groups Interested-in
child health were those
studying one distinct phase, da
f 9? instance. the K-death rate Of
children , under 'one year of I age.
Xnother group was specializing on
the problems of tuberculosis. A
third ; group, was Interested in
school children and theirv educa
tion. 'These 'groups were just re
alizing, that the problem of child
health ; . could not be solved by
treating individual phases, when
the war broke out and energies
were pooled. ' '
"From .war; lessons child workers.-became
convinced i that diffjh
culties?of latter life could best bie
eliminated ! by V early. rounde4.
health education for children. Th!e
public health -nursing groups fol
lowed. J '
' First' concrete ex?eriment in
working out this theory was made
by . the permanent child health
council, which appropriated 200
000 for. this type of educational
work in the schools at Mansfield.
Ohio, with Dr. Walter H. Brown,
now head of the Child , Health
demonstration here, Jn charge. 4
. In the prevention of delinquen
cy, physicial condition of the stu
dents was -found the nredominate
problem. Demonstrations of prop
er care of children were establish
ed. . f , f ; 1 - 1;;.,:- I
Wth the formation of the com
monwealth fund, and following
out the lines of Investigation stated
by .Dr. Brown in Ohio, appropria
tions were granted for four dem
onstrations. 1 One at Fargo. North
Dakota, a city of 25,000 popula
tion, at Rutherford county. TennJ.
a third at Athens. Oa. That left
a fourth for the mountain and Pa
cific states. ;
Twenty-eight towns reauested
the services of this last demon
stration, group. After Investiga
tion the choice narrowed down to
San Jose, California; Boulder, Col
orado, or Salem. Oregon.
In keeping with a definite nolt-
cy certain conditions had to be
met by the successful, candidate.
Pledge of cooperation had to be
extended by, such organizations as
city .ornciais. city council, publie
schools, physicians organization.
dentists, chamber of commerce.
luncheon clubs. , (
Successful candidates were ask
ed to pay such Items as rent cjf
neadquarters-. electric and water
bills, etc., so that ; the common
wealth fund might go directly intb
the demonstration work. I
Assurance was reauired that.
should ; the I demonstration prove
the value of Its labors, the com
munity would gradually take ovejr
Its functions so that when the
demonstration withdrew, it would
leave a complete - local worklne
organization In its place.

spot "where Cook raised his flag
and called it th north pole," and
it was 500 miles from the north
pole. . : . . .
This was the reply of Command
er MacMillan, one of three white
survivors j of Commander R. E.
Peary's expedition, to Capt. Roald
Amundsen's assertions. that Cook's
claims to having - discovered the
pole were as sound a tearys. i .
' ''There Is no doubt at all,? said
Commander MacMillan.' "in the
mind of every man that went with
Peary, ; that Peary . reached . the
north pole. ; There? is doubt in the
mind of practicably everybody thai
Dr. Cook came within 600 miles
Of it. T : :-r.5;-:. .
Peart's "claim to having reached
the pole is as good as Amundsen's
to having reached the south pole."
DENVER, Oolo Jan. 23. (By
Associated Press.) - Vilhjalmur
sietansson, noted Arctic explorer,
tonight took issue with the state
ment made In Fort Worth today
by Roald Amundsen who declared
Dr. Frederick A. Cook's claim, to
discovery of the. north pole was
aa plausible es that of the late'
Commander Robert E. Peary.
"If quoted correctly. -:- Amund
sen's, statement is most extrapr
dinary." Stefansson said. ?'I have
always disagreed with Amundsen
even on important points --but
neVer more violently than this.
"Peary had a lifetime of integ
rity behind him, while Cook's
career ha been one of consistent
raking ever since he faked the
Mount ;VIcKinley climb,- when he
claimed to have . ascendedto the
crest, and it was later proved that
he was never more than half way
to the top. . -, , ; -s .
.. "His career of faking continued
from that time until it landed him
In the federal 'prison. '
' "Cook's story. reads. throughout
like fiction, while Peary's reads
like fact. Amundsen's experience
in the Arctic has . been on ship
board, on land or on landfast pol
ar ice until this last summer when
he experienced moving ire on his
unsuccessful aerial' dash for the
pole.'? .V .
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. "23.
(By Associated Presa. ) -Dr. Fred

his claim to dLscovery of-the north
iole with the fnture generations

declared In a letter to the Kansas
City- Journal Post to be puWished
lomorrowr. . " . . .
The letter, which followed stor-
ies of the .visit of Roald Amnnd
s n to Cook at the federal peniten
tiary at Leavenworth " last week,
declares that Cook's claims are
being' verified by explorations of
ethers. : : . , 1 .
"It .is by his production th.it a
pioneer must stand or fall." Dr.'
Cook's letter said, "and I am will
ing to,. Test my case with future
generations by my published rec
ords.' '- .' " f .
