Its health and happiness are to her the supreme needs.Perhaps, closely following upon this interest in her own, is the interest in all babies; and, through this interest, comes a part of her social life. Her acquaintances and friendships start, many of them, in the intimate associations of home and child life.Is it to be wondered that live communities are doing all that they can to better the opportunities for advancement of the health and happiness of children, babies in particular?Dr. Emma Barlow DeVries is lecturing, as well as conducting short, practical community courses with mothers for their babies’ welfare. She is an experienced teacher, physician and mother.As a practitioner and teacher, Dr. DeVries has devoted many years of her life to specializing upon the needs of children. She asks: “Do you know what a serious and dangerous thing it is to be a baby?The U. S. Census Report tells us that 300,000 babies, under one year of age, die in this country each year, and competent authorities tell us that fully one-half of these deaths are preventable.The idea in the past has been that instinct would teach the mother how to care for her baby. If this high rate of infant mortality is the result of instinct, let us have a little training in the business of being a mother.The doctor believes that “the conservation of our children is the key to our national problem. Better babies will mean stronger men and women and a better nation.The infant death-rate measures the intelligence and right living of a community.Talks with parents and discussion of everyday problems in the endeavor to help the father and mother, ennoble home and carry love and happiness in all that touches the children.‘BETTER BABIES’Easily-understood talks to mothers with demonstrations on the care of children.
