16 The health Bulletij^ 187 As to the future club activities I wish to suggest that they are planned with a view of cooperation with the different Departments of State, as far as possible, in order that our energies and influence may be rightly directed and our work carried on along defmite und well-thought-out lines. In health work especially do we need to be directed by the State Department for in no other regard are we so apt to be unconsciously influenced by fads, unofficial information, new and attractive but unwise ideas. Our State Board of Health through its various departments is the interpreter of scientiflc knowledge, health laws and regulations, and should be the source of our information along these lines. In whatever campaign the State Board wishes to launch at any time, I ask the loyal support and influence of the Ciub Women and also that the various women's clubs which have health departments, do child welfare work or conduct a "Baby Week" campaign, seek the directions and help to be had from the State Board of Health. In this way only can we standardize our work to some extent and all the Clubs progress along the same line. Cordially yours, Mrs. Clarence a. Johnsox, President N. C. Federation Women's Clubs. .. rUXDArtlENTAL Vy OS-Iv IX CiilLD SAVING By H. F. Beasley, State Commissioner of Public Welfare. I know of no work in all the range of child welfare propositions that is more fundamental and has promise of more widely benelicial results than that of the Bureau of Infant Hygiene of the State Board of Health. It is practical eugenics reaching right dovv^n to the spot where it is most needed. It has long been the whimsical expression of some one that the education of a child should begin a hundred years before its birth. For the present generation this chance appears to have been missed. But the Bureau of Infant Hygiene proposes to do the next best thing, and that is wholly a practical thing—to begin with the nascent child and teach the expectant mother how to care for herself during the prenatal period and for the child during its period of infancy and early childhood. And the excellent thing about this plan is its extreme practicability and the simple machinery for carrying the help Intelligently and effectively to so many mothers. All social, health, and hygiene problems are so closely inter-related that every corrective effort in one direction must help all others. We do not know yet where to place the greatest stress, but it is certain that personal health and hygiene lie close at the bottom of it all. One of the beauties of this work is that it is not a shot in the air. It goes right to the spot where we know it is sorely needed both from a humane and an economic standpoint. By and by we shall have a constructive program for child welfare which will embrace every need for health and education for every child from its mother's breast to adolescence. Infant mortality is a fundamental problem. Save the child in its right to health and life and growth and you have begun at the bottom of all problems. The intelligent mother js the basis of civilization. Mrs. Vaughn^s great work should have the practical cooperation of every welfare worker.
