BABY'S WELFARE IS
MOST IMPORTANT
Declares Miss Leete of the Cleveland
Dispensary in Address Before the
Woman's Club Yesterday.
Asserting that the welfare of the
baby is the foremost civic problem,
around which all reforms are concen
trated, Miss Harriett L. Leete of the
Baby's Dispensary of Cleveland, out
lined a program for the "Baby Wel
fare Week," to be conducted under
the auspices of the Woman's club in
Wheeling some time in May.
"The welfare of the baby is one of
the biggest problems of every cora
imunity," Miss Leete said. "Around
it all other reforms are centered.
When a city starts a campaign for
public: sanitation, a better water sys
tem or any like reforms, it improves
conditions "incident to the child's life
indirectly."
Miss Leete told of the accomplish
ments of the Baby's Dispensary in
Cleveland. It was organized ten years
ago, and each ensuing year has added
[new accomplishments. It has never
; taken a backward step, and today is
I one of the greatest institutions in the
country for the betterment of the con
ditions of the child.
"In Ohio there Is a law that pro
vides for an expenditure averaging
one-half a cent of the dollar for pre
ventative methods, thirty-three and
one-half cents go to the cure. This
should be reversed." Miss Leete said,
("and conditions would be better in
every way.
! "The welfare of our oabies is the
(foundation of all civic reforms," the
I speaker said, "and every organization
jwith objects for civic improvements
(should get together and make it a
i success."
j Nothing was done loward making
plans for the observance of Baby
jWeek in Wheeling, the members of
ithe Woman's club desiring to hear of
the suggestions of Miss Leete before
appointing any committees. It is prob
able that a meeting of the board will
be held Monday or some time during
the coming week, when plans will be
inaugurated.
