first repci' of a i-rcat campaign that is springing up with as-
tonishing virility a eapmaign for "Better Babies."
A ar or two ago a wofhan in Iowa, Mrs. Mary T.
Watts (Mu-.ctved the idea that in her state the principal en-
thusias anion ri■ | < ople was for better cattle, better corn
and better hogs. At the county and state fairs there were
occasional "baby shows, " but the whole purpose Wets to pick
out and reward babies tor their beauty and attractiveness
rather than for their health and development. In other
words th baby was simply a side-show for entertainment,
and not taken seriously, while in every other exhibit science
ruled, and the object was to cultivate knowledge of the best
ways to produce better products.
Mr- Watts saw that Iowa was neglecting her most val-
uable crop—her crop of babies. With the co-operation of a
physician, Dr. M. Y. Clark, she organized a real baby con-
test. The object was to award prizes to those children who
made the 1 < st physical showing. I)r. Clark prepared score
cards, the principal items of which were adapted from the
cards used in judging cattle and animals of various kinds.
These cards formed the basi;, of a scientific inouirv calculated
\ 1
to reveal the physical and mental efficiency of the child ex-
amined.
The results of this first contest were appalling. They
showed that Iowa had better corn and cattle than babies, and
awakened public sentiment to a wide study of all those mat-
ters that concern the care of children diet, clothes, baths,
and so on. One child who had received a knv marking in the
first contest y on a prizq at the second, because the mother
had carried out; the suggestions as to the child's diet and
care, which she never would have heard of. had it not been
for the aroused state of the public mind.
This year thirty-five states have already arranged to
hold scientific baby shows in connection with livestock shows
and state lairs. Women's clubs, newspapers and physicians
are awake, and one of the most important wprld-movements
has begun.
O • v
ood road law, that alone
If the legislature would pass a
would make the session a success. We should have a law
providing for the building of roads by contract. Each town-
ship should be given the amount of money it pays as taxes
for roads in that particular township, and Should the amount
be too small, let the county make up the deficit. Under the
contract system we would soon have good roads, and if such
a plan is not adopted, we will have bad roads.
There are laws, and laws, laws. And a lot of them are
far removed from the common knowledge of the people, and
do us about as much good as the alleged irrigation ditches of
Mars. A school boy's idea of Jerusalem surprised his teach-
er, when he said, "Jerusalem is an ejaculation." Likewise
some laws are all to the bad.
