this day. Dr. J. M. Coleman is State Chairman of this work.
His efforts can be fruitful otjly if every community backs him
and sees that his ideas take form.
May Day-Child Health Day is dedicated to the health of
thirty-six million American children. Its principles and aims
are embodied in the 1938 slogan, "Better Children for Our
Nation—A Better Nation for Our Children.”
Much remains to be done before this slogan is a Venlity.
One baby'out of every eleven born in America dies in
first year of life. This waste of life is most often a result of
ignorance. The May Day-Child Health Day officials are at-
tempting to educate the parents of Texas to the tremendous
problems which beset our children and to a solution for these
problems. ——--—■ ■■■■-.,-:-—--—-——-—-—
Their endeavors cover a large field. Their program is
broad enough to alouse the interest and cooperation of many
groups. Their appeal Is, of necessity, primarily to parents ai>d
to teachers. These men and women are the adults to whom
the child turns first, from whom they learn their first im-
pressionable habits and tendencies. They are the Texans
who primarily safeguard the health of our children, and it is
their cooperation which is needed to make May Day-Child
Health Day the success it should be if we are to safeguard
our child health.
