FOURTH ANNUAL SESSION 67 I have written the physicians of my county a circular letter urging them to report promptly, and offering to go myself and give the people the opportunity of using typhoid vaccine, or, if the physicians prefer, I offer to give them the vaccine. I have arranged so far in five places in the county for the organization and formation of clubs of mothers, or community clubs. I get the mothers that are interested to attend these meetings, and we have decided to take Holt's little book for mothers, 011 the care and feeding and handling of children, and study that. Our plan is that I shall go once a month and we will take up the course of lectures in this book, and I will give them a lecture. In two wreeks the club meets again, when I am not there, and they will discuss the questions we took up at the previous meeting. Then at the next meeting I go and give them an opportunity to ask any questions they do not understand about the former talk and take up the next series in the book. To show you howr that has progressed, I took a little village where it is always hard to get a crowd. The first time I went there were two mothers, the next time there were five, the next time there were fourteen. I believe that in this wray we will get the mothers interested, and not only interested, but that it will be a source of some advantage to them in feeding and handling and taking care of their children, and in that wray we will lessen the death rate. One more thing I want to say, and that is about the contest wTe held last year in the way of a better babies contest. This contest, I believe, has resulted in more real good—I believe the lives of more babies have been saved as a result of this contest as it was conducted with us last year, than from any other one thing that has been done along health lines in the county since the work has been organized. We began this wrork through the woman's clubs. They got in touch with the clubs in different sections of the county, community clubs and woman's clubs, and gave them the idea and got them interested. Then the social service department made dates for the examination of babies at different localities in the county on certain days. I think we had seventeen of these points. The physicians of Greensboro and High Point helped out, and the physicians in the county came and helped. Then we had the contest in the city, and finally the contest at the fair. The fair authorities were more or less skeptical as to the proposition. They did not want to give us much of a place and did not want to give us any money at all, but they soon saw that it was a money making proposition for the fair. Right after it wras over, the secretary of the fair said that next year we could have the best place in the building, and that he would put up the long green. The main prize wre will give this year wall be for the child that
