The saving of 300,000 babies whose
lives are needlessly snuffed out every
year in the United Stales is the aim
of the leaders in the nation-wide
Better Baby Week to be held March
1 to 11.
. More than 400 communities have
completed plans for baby week, aided
by the children's bureau of the
United States department of labor.
During baby week the needs of chil
dren will be so presented that all
parents in these communities will
lealize these needs and will want to
give their children tha best possible
tare. They will know that this is
their privilege, as well as their obli
gation. Hundreds of women in tins citv, as
well as thot;.iand3 throughout the
country, are trying to tio awuy with
the old belief that the rate of mor
tality among children who had not
reached tha first anniversary of the.r
birth was a wise oispsnsation of na

THE CHILDREN'S BUREAU AND BABY WEEK
S
"Is Baby Week the business of a
Government Bureau?" The observing
taxpayer is perhaps asking this ques
tion. F.ven since last October when the
(leneral Federation of Women's Clubs
announced its plan, an increasing pro
portion of the Bureau's office force has
been detailed to the correspondence re
quired by the growing interest in the
nation-wide observance of Baby Week.
The sociologist and tho statistician
will remind us that the Bureau was
created to make investigations per
taining to the welfare of children and
that Baby Week is not an investiga
tion and is not statistics.
To all these groups we are account
able. What is our reply?
For the three years the bureau has
been in existence it has put a consider
able share of its energy into a statis
tical study of the social and economic
causes of infant mortality, planned
with the greatest care and conducted
by trained field agents with all possi
ble precision. The results of this in
quiry are being published as the law
requires, in a series of reports which
consist of statistical tabulations ac-
: companies by descriptive text.
There arc main- million fathers and
.... ;.. r'.:....l :.. .1.. i:
mulling in in,, v.miri outics, incumiii
many of the best educated fathers and
mothers, who never read a statistical
table ami never will. Yet hidden with
in the figures of the Bureau's reports
on infant mortality, the reading of
I which they will successfully evade, lie
stem facts about the dangers which be
i sit American babies.
I These figures give a clue to the rea
sons why, on the great average, one
i baby in eight dies before, the end of
the first year of life. They show that
! this average obscures a wide gamut
I with comparative immunity from infant
. loss at one end and with fearful in
I f ant. waste at the other.
I If the Bureau is to investigate and
j to report as the law directs, then it
! must try to find ways of reporting
! which will be heard by the whole public
which it was created to serve.
The popular methods of the'Baby
j Week, which are those of all astute ad
vertisers, form an invaluable method of
; reporting to the parents of this nation
! those standards of ' infant welfare
which experts are endeavoring to ina!':
clear. , ,
The Baby Week emphasizes the coi -xt
motive side of infant care. Tt ad
dresses not only individual parents but
communities,.
The best test of its value will be the
work that follows it:
Undoubtedly every State Board or"
Health should secure what only si a
states have nt present a special divir-
i ion of chihl hygiene. N'o city or town
should tail to provide instructive nurs
ing service and to pay constant heed
to tiic problems of hygiene and sanita
tion, of proper housing and of recrea
tion spnecs, since all "these immediately
affect tho welfare of infants.
There arc 11,009 counties in the Fnited
States. In every county seat, then?
should be a center for the health w,orc
of that county a station for examin
ing babies, and older children, and for
furnishing expert advice lor keeping
them well in short, a health teaching
eenrer.
We must have complete birth regula
tion. All theso will be institutions for tho
common use no more revolutionary, no
more eleemosynary, than public schools
and weather bureaus and agricultural
experiment stations.
The New Zealand infant mortality
rate is less than one-half of ours and
is being further reduced.
Why take less pains for American
babies than New Zealand takes
