Text Appearing Before Image:
The Affiliated Societies showed in
their reports a steady, healthful
growth. More about deeds and less
about intentions marked the differ-
ence between these reports and
those of former years.
If the spirit of those who attend-
ed the meeting does not wane, we
shall have twenty thousand mem-
bers who realize that in becoming
members of the Association they
are making its work more effective.
Each of these twenty thousand
members will have Mother and
Child, which is the one magazine
published in this country giving to
the multitude of workers and oth-
ers interested in child welfare the
information necessary for a better
understanding of the problems we
are trying to meet. To secure this
splendid membership let each old
member bring in one new member
each month. Optimism plus indi-
vidual effort will bring us to our
goal. The task is an easy one. The
expense of membership is almost
negligible. One and a half cents a
day for child-
health insurance!
That is what it amounts to. Twenty
thousand members in 1921 mus
twelcome Mr. Hoover as our
President.

Health in the School
Presented by the Child Health Organization of America

BY the most direct and simple
and cheerful method imagin-
able child health in America is re-
ceiving a big new impetus. No long-
er do children in elementary schools
pore stolidly over formal lessons
in physiology and hygiene with
vague interest. They are taught
instead to achieve health day by
day through practicing real health
habits, and the new knowledge
comes to them in the most delight-
ful forms. They literally play their
wav to health.
This is an exacting game, of
course, with lots of competition and
some inflexible rules.- But the re-
sult of playing the game is real
health, from the point of view of
the scientific educator, or doctor,
and real pleasure and happiness
from the point of view of the child.
Parents too, are receiving much
enlightenment as to the reason why
their children are sometimes cross,
or frequently underweight, and are
learning that these faults are some-
times not due to any peculiarity
other than a remediable physical
defect, or an improper diet.
