Dr. Park Reminds The Young
Os Their Duties to Society
(BY EMORY R. .PARK, M. D.)
A proper discussion of the subject,
“Better Babies.” must include a con
sideration of the closely allied sub
jects, B“etter Parents,” ‘‘Better
Homes,” ‘‘Better Food,” and “Better
Nursing”; also “A Better System for
I. ealing With Disease.”
It being true in a physical as well
as in spiritual sense that “the sins of
the fathers are visited upon the child
ren,” it follows that less wlld-oat
sowing by people in and beyond their
teens would result in fewer lame,
halt and blind children being born.
If a person has "gone the gaits,” he
or she should be examined by a physi
cian, and if found to be diseased
should be treated until a cure is ef
fected before entering into a marriage
contract. More than half the blind
ness, prematune births and still-births
are due to the so-called social dis
eases; and these diseases are also re
sponsible for many deformed child
ren..
“Better hom.es” are need as well as
“better parents.” To the faith implied
by the “God Bless Our Home” mottoes,
hung over the mantel, should be added
the good work of keeping the home
clean. Cleanliness is too often con-1

fined to the front yard and parlor. It
should be extended to the bedrooms,
dining-room, kitchen and back prem
ises- as well.
Wire screens on the windows and
doors are needed rather than lightning
rods on the house-tops.
It being the case that spit, contain
ing the germs of consumption, diph
■ > theria and other diseases, is often
! brought in the house on the sho>es
and skirt-hems, a baby should not be
allowed to play on the floor without a
clean sheet being spread on the floor
first; otherwise, the toys become con
taminated with the spit and the child,
putting them into its mouth, becomes
infected. Then, too, infection may oc
cur through an abrasion in the child’s
skin.
“Better Food” is needed. Human
breast milk is the natural food for an
infant, and when possible ,a mother
should nurse her baby, or a healthy
wet-nurse should be secured. When
not possible, however, cow’s milk,
modified according to the age and di
gestive ability of the child, should be
given, rather than patent foods and
condensed milk.
Bottle feeding should be carried out
I under the constant supervision of a
iHL AMEKiCUM DAILI I IMWJ-RtCORDtK
competent physician.
“Better Dairies” are necessary—
healthier and cleaner cows, cleaner
i milkers, cleaner cow-pens, and cleaner
j earns. These things, however, will
i come only when we have better dairy
I supervision. Milk should be kept
I clean, rather than to clean and puri-
|
ty it after it has become dirty.
The giving of “sugar-tits”, moist
ened in the mouth of an older person,
can’t be too strongly condemned;
likewise, the sampling of milk in the
baby’s bottle by sucking the nipple
that the baby is to put in its mouth
should be prohibited.
“Better sense” is needed than is
displayed by giving a child solid food
before it has teeth with which to
chew it; and the chewing cf food and
then giving it to a baby is hardly short
of a crime.
“Better nursing” is essential.. Too
often, babies are turned over to negro
nurses who neither know nor care
anything about their business. When
a baby is allowed to be taken away
from home, what assurance is there
that it will not be taken to a negro
cabin and allowed to play with dirty
and diseased "pickaninnies”, or, may
be, just by the way of Southern hos
pitality, be given, while there, a bait
of cold collard greens? Further, how
does a mother know' that when her
baby is being taken “out for a walk,”
it is not being neglected while the
nurse gossips with some of her “genin
men” friends, or with some other
nurses equally negligent? Still fur
ther, many babies have their eyesight
impaired and their delicate nervous
systems put on ther ack by the neg
lect of nurses to see to it that the di
rect rays of the sun are not allowed
to shine in the babies’ eyes. . »
There are two fundamental reasons
why a child should not be carried to
crowded places. First, there is a
greater liability of exposure to the
germs of contagious maladies; sec
ond, the air in such places is poor in
oxygen, but rich in carbon dioxide—a
poisonous gas.
Those Georgia counties which adopt
the Ellis public health law will do the
most in the fight for “Better Babies.”
By all means, the grand juries
throughout the state should recom
mend the adoption of this low, for it
provides for a better system of sani
tary inspection than any measure yet
proposed, and will go a long way to
ward securing, “Better Parents,”
“Better Homes,” “Better Food,” and
“Better Nursing,” as well as “Better
Babies.”
