MOTHERS’ CARE
TOPICOEPARLEY
Children’s Bureau Sponsors
Conference Here in Janu
ary—Committee Named.
A conference on methods of care
for mothers and babies will be held
here January 17 and 18 under spon
sorship of the Children's Bureau, De
partment of Labor, It was announced
yesterday by Miss Katharine P. Len
root, bureau chief.
To outline plans for the sessions.
Miss Lenroot yesterday appointed c
committee, including Mrs. J. K. Pst
tengili, president of the National Con
gress of Parents and Teachers; Dr.
Fred L. Adair, chairman of the Ameri
can Committee on Maternal Welfare,
and Mrs. Nathan Straus, representing
the National Council of Jewish
Women.
The conference arises out of the
conviction that thousands of the ma
ternal and child deaths in the United
States each year are preventable. For
the single year of \935, the total loss
of life in maternal deaths, stillbirths
and deaths of babies during the first
month of life totaled 147.677.
In test surveys, it has been deter
mined that 65.8 per cent of such
deaths in New Yor^ City were pre
ventable, 56.7 per cent in Philadel
phia and 68 per cent in seven Pacific
Coast cities.
More than 30 organisations, princi
pally medical and women's groups,
already have signified their intention
of attending the conference here.

More Weight to Quality
of Experience.
In another move to improve recruit
ing methods for Government service,
the Civil Service Commission last
night announced revision of its rating
procedure to give greater weight to the
quality of experience of applicants, ex
plaining this was one “in recognition
of the importance of quality as well as
quantity of previous work as a test
of fitness of applicants.”
“The commission,” the announce
ment said, "has always recognised past
experience as one measure of the qual
ification of applicants, particularly for
those positions in which training and
familiarity with specialised duties are
important factors. However, in the
rating of experience, the factors of
time spent on a Job and opportunity to
I lesm duties are less valuable meas
| ures of fitness than the accomplish
! ment of the candidate in the prior Job.
initiative shown and progessive respon
sibility achieved.
"Applicants are now asked by the
commission to set forth all personal
achievements in the course of their
prior experience and the particular ele
ments of their prior employment
which are specially relevant to the
work of the Government position for
which they apply.”
The commission said that this
change should result in improved per
; sonnel, particularly In the admin 1st ra
I tive. scientific and professional fields,
j In a related plan to raise employ
ment standards, the commission re
cently' has undertaken by personal
communication to bring employment
opportunities to the attention of edu
cational institutions and other eetsb
lishments where it is felt a desirable
class of applicants may be found.
