Suggestions for a better babies campaign cam-paign were made bv Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, president of the General Federation Fed-eration of Women 'sr Clubs, in a recent letter received by Mrs. Edward Bich-sell Bich-sell of Ogden, president of the Utah federation. The suggestions follow: May 1 to 6 has been chosen for this year's better babies campaign. When a little over a year ago the general federation, through its president pres-ident and the general chairman of civics, home economics and public health, sent out a call to the clubs fur a nation-wide baby-week campaign cam-paign and announced that the United Unit-ed States children's bureau would co-operate with the clubs, no one bad more than a faint realization of what the result would be. There is a record of 2000 cities ihat took part and probably 2000 other cities and towns that did not report. In issuing the call for 1917 two important points should "be emphasized: empha-sized: first, that the campaign should be, as far as possible, a com-jnity com-jnity affair; that the co-opera-lion and help should be obtained of all organizations and individuals interested in-terested in child welfare; and sec-d, sec-d, that the campaign should be -ucted toward permanent and concrete work for -the welfare of babies. The new bulletin on baby-week baby-week campaigns which will soon be issued by the children's bureau will show, it is hoped, how far the campaigns cam-paigns last year were successful in carrying out these plans. This bulletin bul-letin will give suggestions for campaigns, cam-paigns, as did last year's. Last year there were responses from twenty-nine national organizations organi-zations and men and women from every walk of life responded. The following things resulted: The formation of rural clubs, the employment em-ployment of nurses in rural districts dis-tricts and other communities; the opening of welfare stations and baby health conferences; definite' steps to improve birth registration, the organization of the "Little Mothers' leagues''; obtaining sup- Elies of books on the care of the aby; display of placards and cartoons car-toons in public libraries, construction construc-tion of permanent welfare exhibits, establishment of rest rooms for mothers, organization of child welfare wel-fare leagues and of societies for distributing printed matter among mothers; instruction of young girls in the care of the baby as a definite defi-nite feature of the school course; local surveys, work for the prevention preven-tion of infant blindness, nursiug among rural mothers, parental work. The programme for an elaborate baby week may include, as it did last" year, several or all of the following fol-lowing features: A programme of special days, as flag day, school day, father's day, outing and parade day, birth registration regis-tration day, permanent organization dav, baby" Sunday. An infant welfare wel-fare exhibit. A" baby health conference. con-ference. School celebrations. A mass meeting. Ad automobile parade pa-rade of babies and mothers. .Informal .In-formal meetings and talks. Plays. Distribution of leaflets and pamphlets pam-phlets on the care of the baby.
