Maternal Death fl at e as
Well as Infant Mor
tality Cut
With the work of the Marion
county child health demonstra
tion, narented by the Common
wealth fund of New York, well
Into its fifth and last year, a re-
Bume of Its accomplishment ai
least so far as statistics tell them
has been prepared from the or
fice of Dr. Estella Ford Warner.
director since last fall.
While the work of the demon
et ration is probably known to
most persons through Us program
among the school children of the
county, figures on the miani
death rate and the maternal death
rate rereal the effect the. health
work has had In another channel.
In the first four years of the
demonstration's services infant
deaths in the county hare been re
duced by nine per 1000. In 1924,
the Fund's first year, the lnfani
death rate was 64.7 per 1000 of
live births, or one in 18. The next
year, deaths numbered one in 19.
in 192, one In 21. and Iast yeai
one in 27.
Maternal Death Rate Down
The maternal death rate was
decreased in one year from .6 In
1927 to 2.2 in 1928. Findings
among the maternal cases in
which some educational work wa
done show that in the county at
lares the deaths hi 1927 were 7.6
pfr 1000, but in instances where
the mother was under prenatal
nursing supervision, with medical
care and where a nurse and doc
tor were in attendance at birth,
with the nurse continuing in serv
ice for a period of 10 days, not a
single death resulted.
Other figures on the point ot
birth, show that the death rate i
highest under one month, with
34.3 for the county at large. In
cases where the mother was under
prenatal supervision and had care
for 10 days following delivery, the
one-month infant death rate was
but 20 per 1000 live births. Still
births in the county at large num
bered 4 5.7 for the one-year per
iod, while among the mothers uc
der doctor's and nurse's care,
there were nq still births.
The point of the foregoing fig
ures. Dr. Warner points out while
granting that educational service
is not the only factor In the reduc
tion of infant and mother mortal
ity, is that the program to educate
the eipectant mother to the value
of fiood nursing, medical supervis
ion and how to care for herself
has had a remarkable influence
on both infant and maternal
death rates.
Thyroid Treat meat Helps
Findings on the physical exam
inations which have been conduct
ed among the school., children
present some . interesting figures
and some that give cause for re
flection on the school activity,
both from a curricular and extra
curricular Btand point. The ex
aminations show that in the two
groups under which thyroid con
dltions are classified, adolescent
and diseased, there is a decrease
in the adolescent type between the
ages of nine and IS, while in the
age group of from 13 and. over
there is an increase of the dis
eased type. In the adolescent
type, the decrease is from 37.2 to
28.6 of the total examinations.
while in the other type the in
crease is from 10.7 to 14.7 of the
total examination,
Heart conditions in the two age
groups, nine to 13 and 13 years
and over, show that there are
more In the older group, with an
almost alarming Increase from
1.8 in the younger to 5.6 in the
older. Underweight, too, is
more marked defect in the high
school group than in the elemen
tary pupils. The general under
weight of elementary children has
shown an Improvement, with a de
crease of 28.5 to 19.8.
Startling as it may seem, the
yural school children show a great
er percentage of underweight
than do those cf the city, witn
17.5 the figure for the former and
15.i for the city, group.
Dr. Warner's theory of the
hysical showings made in th
school examinations, where even
under a health nrnmm ) nnii
'wis UDhill. in cnhot.nltilW K-.,
' w-wuv.tiw.il I W t UV.
ui m mo ugures themselves. Sho
believes the poor showinsr among
the pupils can be attributed to the
"unhealthy" hours and foods, to
the undue stress on social life in
and out of school, to the heavier
studies at school and the still
heavier extra-curricular nrottram
all of which fail to allow time
for good rest and wholesome
foods.
Eye Defects Cut
Some results of the child health
program, more encouraging than
the thyroid and heart condition
findings, show a decrease in the
visional defect of from eight to
nve in the age groups; In dis
eased tonsils of from 35.9 to 33.6:
and in dental' care from 42.2 to
38.6.
Under the demonstration's edu
cational program, an average of
6000 examinations of children of
an ages have been given yearly:
an average of 5.000 vaccinations
ror smallpox have been given each
year; toxin-antitoxin or diphtheria
immunizations have been about
ft.ooo annually; and dental exam
inations have also averaged 5,000

1925, when there were J95 cases
of smallpox, this disease has" been
reduced to 19 eau tn mi vn.

A l - . . . -
year .there were 23 cases, but
there has been no death from this
disease since June, 1927. Ty

regard to milk la told thusly: In.
1925 a surrey made by the state
dairy and food commissioner
showed 70 per cent of the Salem
milk, supply to be dirty, 30 per
cent fairly clean and none clean.
In October. 1928, six months after
the employment of a dairy and
food Inspector for Salem through
the offices of the demonstration,
the survey was repeated, with the
report showing no dirty milk, 20
per cent fairly clean, and 80 per
