Lathrop, One of Country’s Most Noted Women, at Head of This Department for Knoxville Show— Every Mother Will Be Interested in Exhibits. “Check your baby, madame?” This is going to be one of the queries that will be heard frequently during the progress of the big National Con servation Exposition in Knoxville, Tenn. The exposition will throw open iu gates on September 1 and will con tinue until November 1. The “Baby Checking Department” will be only one of the many novel things that the progressive men and women in charge of the Child Welfare Exhibit will arrange for the exposition. T he question asked above and answer ed affirmatively does not mean that baby will be checked, tagged and then p» in an oblong compartment like a suit cane. Bather, it will mean that baby will be taken in charge by com petent nurses and well cared for. There is going to be a “babies’ room” in the Child Welfare Building at the National Conservation Exposi tion, a room, well lighted, airy, screen ed and daintily furnished. There will be plenty of room for the children to romp and play; there will also be cozy rest rooms, where the little ones can sleep when their eyes become heavy and their little legs tired. Experience has shown that many mothers, rather than miss the show, such as the National Conservation Ex position will be must bring the little ones. The management of the expo sition welcomes the children. It wants every child to see the wonders on dis play. But at the same time the wom en in charge of the Child Welfare De partment realize how necessary it Is to have a place where mother can leave the children. So the “Baby GIFFORD PINCHOT, Conservationist and head of National Advisory Board of National Conser vation Exposition. Checking Department.” It will be a place where mother can leave the chil dren and rest assured of the fact that they will be having the best kind of a time, and that they will be looked after every minute of the day. Baby Health Contest. 1: is also proposed that in the Child Welfare Building there shall be a "Baby Health Contest.” The one ob ject of this contest will be to set up a standard of health for the babies. The absurd features -too often cruel — of many baby shows will be done away v Ith by this feature. The Babies’ Clinic of Knoxville has agreed to co operate in the “Baby Health Contest.” Here is the way in which it will be carried on: First, there will he a stand ard score card. Then the physical de velopment of the child is compared with the score card, and a certificate or medal is given in accordance with the facts. There is no competition be tween babies, but only the effort to reach a standard. But the very pur pose of the Child Welfare Department of the exposition would not he served unless there were something further. There will be advices to mothers offer ed by competent men and women. Thus the child will he benefited and also the parents. These are only two of the many fea tures that will form a part of the ex hibits in the Child Welfare Building at tiit exposition. Miss Julia C. Lathrop, :bief of the the Children’s Bureau of the United States Department of La bor and one of the most noted women In the country, is in full charge of the plans and preparations that are being ntr.de for those exhibits. Miss Lathrop was for many years associated with IL.ss Jane Addanis in the splendid serk that is being done by the Hull House settlement in Chicago. r TO INTEREST CHILDREN.
