“A PLEA FOR THE CHIL
-1 DREN."
a By ROY J. HOLMES, M. D.
\f(Read Before thes Parent-Teachers’ Asso
. ciation, Wadley, Ga. >
:1
'J- A short time ago if a doctor ad
dressed a lay audience on a niedi
t'cal subject, his motives were ques
tioned. Now, the profession cm-
Ip lays every agency of publicity to
spread the propaganda against dis
ease. I’hc columns of the newspa
* pers and magazines, the lecture
the pulpit, the school and
beven the drama warn and plead
]agaiust * lie danger of the mosquito
and the housefly, the communica-
a hility of tuberculosis, and the pa
rities ot neglected children.
V This new era in the relations be- 1
‘Ctwcea the profession and the pub
lic is due to the efforts of the pub
i‘lice health service which is now
recognized as one of the most im
“portant departments of our gen
eral and local government. The :
Vpropaganda of this organization is 1
5- characterized by an effort on the j
part of the medical profession to j
Aake the public into its confidence
Ba step that should have been taken J
, long ago.
The child welfare movement is a !
very important branch of our pub- |
lie health work. The child through j
Dali the ages, has always paid one
*’jf the heaviest tolls in mortality and \
j suffering for adult ignorance and j
.superstition.
t Beginning with maternity, we find \
Can average of 30 per cent of the i
Llbirths of this country, or approxi- I
, niatcly 750,000 births a year unat
tended by physicians. Add to these
figures the enormous unsupplied j
"need for medical supervision dur- !
iing pregnancy, add again need of
•the puerperal state for medical care
Jso inadequately supplied, and you
have an uncarcd for field of ma
ternity frnm two to five times the
size of that which is cared for.
< From infancy, let us pass to child
hood. Here we find 20 per cent of
4,000,000 public school children of
this country with defective vision,
{ 75 per cent public school children
(whose mouths need treatment, in or
kier to prevent subsequent digestive
’disturbances, rheumatism and car-!
diovascuiar damage and 5 per cent ;
or 1,000.000 public school children
who need operations for tonsils and
adenoids. In view of these figures,
which can readily be supplied to
the Wadley High school, as well as
any other public school, is it not ;
time for us to abandon the flick
ering candle of the untrained mid
wife and substitute the light of sci
entific knowledge, with its asep
sis, hygiene, sanitation and great
lessons in preventive medicine?
For centuries the world lias suf
fered from pestilence and scourge.
People in desperation have aban
doned themselves to their fate, dis
carded even the crude laws of the
Mosaic code and attributed their
condition to the visitation of the
devil, or the wrath of an offended
deity. The medical profession, in
spite of all reports to the contrary
by various cults and quack propa
ganda. has made tremendous prog
ress. Smallpox has been fought to
a finish. The fight against yellow
fever, malaria, typhoid and other
diseases is now approaching a suc
cessful issue The work of Holt
[with his problems of childhood, of
Bloodgood and his efforts to con
trol cancer, of Gorgas, who turned
the muck of the Panama Canal i
Zone into a land where white men
could live, stands as unquestioned

IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
That’s a recognized fact today. Rut bear this
in mind: the only reason it pays to advertise is
that millions of thrifty folks find it a paying propo
sition to be guided by the advertisements.
If will pay you in money saved. Real bargains
are offered frequently in the advertisements that
appear in this paper. Watch for them. Take advan
tage of them.
It will pay in time saved. Jt tells you exactly
when and where to go for what you want to buy.
You don’t have to waste time and effort “shopping
around.” If your time is worth money, advertising
will pay you.
It will pay you in added satisfaction. Every
time a merchant or manufacturer advertises he ob
ligates himself to sell you goods that are as adver
tised. Read the advertisements and be sure you get
your money’s worth. Reading the advertisements
is a plain every-day business proposition. It is a
duty you owe yourself and your pocketbook.

!to the perfection and efficiency
! which modern medicine has devel
j oped for the maintenance of health
und the prevention of disease. Even
the most violent anti-vivisectionist
j can not doubt that the good done
| humanity through the discovery of
j the diphtheria anti-toxin all has
I been sufficient to build a monument
as the high as the skv to every
dog that ever died on the vivisec
tion tabic.
rnfortunately we can not cure all
diseases. There is nothing of the
hokus-pokus variety about medicine.
Our hospitals are filled with peo
ple to whom we are only able to
give temporary relief. But wc do
believe that the medical profession
has something better to offer the
public than peach tree leuves for
fever, mudstones lor hydrophobia,
spasm grass for convulsions, and
back-rubbing lor everything.
Prevention and not cure, is the
keynote of modern medicine. It is
much easier to remove the foci of
infections which originate in bad
teeth and diseased tonsils than to
treat successfully the subsequent
diseases caused by these conditions.
Smallpox, typhoid fever, malaria,
diphtheria and all the ordinary dis
eases of childhood, can be pre
vented much easier than they can
be cured.
Our state Board of Health has j
formulated a plan which calls for ;
the undivided efforts of teachers, 1
physicians and parents toward the
correction of deranged conditions of
childhood. The teacher is asked to
conduct a preliminary examination
of the children in accord with the i
instructions from the Board ot
Health and to ascertain it there is
any idiosyncrasy or irregularity of
habit not entirely normal. The
physician takes up the \Vork here |
and conducts a more complete ex- 1
animation. This physical examina
tion should not lie superficial but !
complete in every respect, ail as- !
sistnnt keeping as accurate record
of the defects found. . j
The physical examination record
of each child should then he given
to the Parent-Teachers whose duty j
should lie to notify the fathers and j
mothers regarding the results of the j
examination and see that the chil- j
dren are given the full benefits of !
the doctors’ instructions and ad- j
vice.
The literature issued by the Board i
of Health will explain these phases
of the work more in detail.
The questions of sanitation in the
school, regulated diet and exercise, j
healthy environment with plenty of j
fresh air, and special training along
hygienic and eugenic lines, should
then be considered. The child |
should be taught that every part 1
of the body has a function to per
form and that no natural law should
be habitually violated.
There arc other conditions, for
i which the child is not to blame,
which should also be corrected. The
disposition to force young children!
into school, where they must spend ;
hours in confinement, is not con- |
sistent, except under circumstances j
of poverty, with bad hygiene in the j
home.
Any effort directed toward a child !
welfare drive would not be com
plete unless the parents also re
ceived instruction along the same '
line. This is child welfare in its
highest form, as adult education re- !
garding the prevention of disease is j
reflected toward the welfare of the ;
child with better dcsults than we i
could possibly hope to obtain in ;
any other manner.
In his famous essay “Concerning
Human I'nderstanding” Locke tells !

OUIDA’S IMMORTAL
STORY IS FILMED
“Under Two Flags,” the Universal-
Jewel firm version of Ouida’s im
mortal tale of undying love, which
held the stage of the world for
many years in a dramatized version
i of the novel, presents one of the
! great stories of all times through
the superior medium of the screen.
It comes to the Shadowland Theatre
on Thursday, April 12th.
Priscilla Dean, the slar, is directed
by Tod Browning, the same combin
ation responsible for “The Virgin
of Stambouf.”
Supporting Miss Desn are such
stellar artists as James Kirkwood,
John Davidson, Ethel Grey Terry,
| Stuart Holmes, Fred Cavens, W. H.
i Bainbridge, Burton Law and Bobby
Mack.
In the production of the picture
Universal allowed Tod Browning un
j limited scope. Even “Foolish Wives”
| had scarcely better sets and scenic
! effects. The gamut of Algerian arch
! itccture is run. from narrow alleys

TO PROBE ALLEGED SLAYING
Albany, N. V., April 10.—State in
vestigation of the alleged slaying of
Clarence J. Peters, ex-marine, by
Walter S. Ward, millionaire baker’s
son, blocked yesterday when Ward's
counsel obtained an injunction re-j
straining use as evidence of cable-;
grams which passed between Ward!
and his family, received another set
back today when the Western Union
Telegraph Company failed to turn
over ttic documents upon vacating of
the injunction by the appellate divi
sion.
nothing is written, and that all !
knowledge rests on experience. If
(his empiricism is true, the ques
tion of parental influences and re
lationships is of vital importance.
The recent works on psycho analy
sis tend to demonstrate tha! when
this mind, this blank sheet of pa
per. so to speak, receives an im
pression, even though it be the
lightest pencil mark in the book of
experience, such mental impressions
remain permanently engraved, and
act as standards for the estimation
of lhe child's future acts and con
duct.
It is a mistaken idea that when
a man grows older he puts away
childish things. On the contrary,
nothing is ever really forgotten. In
fact our mode of conduct, our esti
mation of men and women, our I
character and disposition, and even j
our religion, to a targe extent, is j
determined by the sum total of our
past experiences, of which childhood
impressions play a very important
part.
Some of the most violent psy
| choses and neuroses of aduit. life
i have been traced to fantastic fairy
talcs to which the individual listen-I
ed during childhood. Childish im- [
pressions are quite often adult re- !
alities.
We may condemn Freud and his
followers if we like. We may treat
as absurd the theory of Ihe Nancy i
School regarding the importance of
the subconscious mind and the in
terpretation of dreams. But the
fact remains that our dreams to
night may take us hack to child
hood where we may see our dear
est friend in the garb of Little
Red Hiding ltood, our enemy in the
form of Bluebeard, we may ride
through the clouds on the magic
carpel or climb the beanstalk when
the wolves and the bears press us
too closely.
Our remarks to a child may seem
! ingly pass into one ear and out
the other, hut somewhere between
these two points, there is undoubt
edly a mental storage room where
every impression is carefully put
away only to he recalled and ac
cepted or rejected by the mental
censor at some later date. This
process determines whether or not
the impression shall have influ
ences for good or evil, and is close
ly allied, or comnionlyy confused,
with what we term “heredity.”
Thus we see that child welfare
does not mean simply tonsil re
moval.
12very effort made by the people
of Wad ley, men and wrfmen alike,
to broaden the knowledge among
children, as well as among others
regarding the questions of sanita
tion. hygiene and especially the pre
vention of disease, must of neces
sity inure to the benefit of every
class of people.
If Wadley does not care, if she
has no concern regarding the health
of her men and women of the fu
ture, surely she can not expect
' much of her posterity. If younger
generation is to he “worthy sons
|of worthy sires” they must have,
their ambitions stimulated by a
broadening knowledge of their phy
j sical being, and the mothers and
fathers must realize that herein
lies a much neglected, but exceed
ingly fertile field of great poten
tialities.
Truly, the fields are white unto
the harvest. Let us hope that the j
laborers will not be few.

“He has been advised.” the news

BRITISH HOUSE OF COMMONS
ADMINISTERS A SURPRISING
DEFEAT TO THE GOVERNMENT
In View of the Fact That Once Before During Its Brief Life
the Ministry Had a Narrow Escape in the House, in Ad
dition to Several Reverses in Bye-Elections It is Im
possible to Say What Attitude Ministers Will Take.
London, April 10. —The government sustained a surprise
defeat in the house of commons tonight by a small majority,
seven in a thin house, on a mere technical point. This, in
ordinary circumstances, the government might ignore, but
in view of the fact that once before during its brief life the
ministry had a narrow escape in the house, in addition to
several reverses in bye-elections it is impossible to say at the
present time what attitude the ministers will, take with re
gard to this defeat.
The debate on imperial trade had
| ended, and a question arose con
j cerning the salaries paid to former
! service men entering the civil scr
] vice. The labor leaders were dis
! pleased at the government's stand
| on this question, and as a protest
[ opposed Ihe motion, that the speak
| cr leave the chair to enable a dis
| cession of ihc estimates. This mo
| lion usually carried as a matter of
| course, was, to everybody's surprise
I defeated, 145 to 138. The figures
! were greeted with intense cxcite
| ment and labor shouts of “Resign,”
I “Send for the premier.” Most of
Ihe ministers were absent.
When the excitement subsided J.
Ramsay MacDonald, the labor lead
er, asked what the government pro
posed to do and suggested that the
proceedings should he adjourned.
Neville Chamberlain, president of
the ministry of health, thereupon
moved adjournment of the house,
which was carried amid derisive
opposition cheers and renewal of the
scenes which greeted the original
announcement.
Stream Into Lobby.
The members streamed into the
lobbies, excitedly discussing the
prospects of the resignation of the
government. According to some
liberal members an adverse vote on
this particular question is unprece
dented and must be fatal to the
government. This opinion was ex
pressed in the house by William M.
Pringle on the motion to adjourn,
he insisting that it was a vote of
non-confidence and that “the row of
extinct volcanoes on the treasury
bench must disappear.”
The cabinet is sitting late tonight
lo discuss Ihe situation.
Ihe defeat of the government
leaves a curious situation. By re
fusing to move the speaker from
Ihc chair to discuss the estimates,
tlu house has practically refused
supplies, and, according to parlia
mentary rules, a motion to move
the speaker cannof be put again in
Ihc same session.
The ministers therefore are con
fronted with the duty of terminat
ing the present session and proceed
ing to anew session with a formal
speech from the throne and other
formalities, unless the speaker can
extricate them from the dilemma by
overriding the existing regulations.
According to latest reports the
speaker, after consultation with the
ministers is prepared to accept an
other motion on Thursday andthus
the resignation of the government
may be averted.
