CRUSADE WORK VISITS
LOCAL' SCHOOL.
Twenty-six per cent of the pupils
of the South Side school average 10
per cent' underweight, and seventeen
percent of the grades In the high
si-liool building'ilre 7 per cent or more
under weight, according to Miss Hilda
J. Solibhkke, state director of num.
tion crusade work.
Preparatory reorganizing nutrition
classes in the high school building,
Doctors E. M. Bevis and E. E. Efner
examined the children that are to be
in the class for physical defects which
are the first cause of underweight.
The second cause is lack of home con
trol, the third. overfatigue, the fourth.
incorrect food habits. and fifth. incor<
root health hnblts.
Miss Solibukke, who Is in the coun
ty under the nuSplces of the Okanogan
County Antltuberculosla league, In
speaking before the Methodist mln-
sionary society at the basket social
Friday evening. stated, “Perhaps you
think your child’s underweight is not
in cause for worry. Perhaps you would
describe his condition by one or more
of these terms: 'Run down, takes af
ter his mother, no appetite, frail, deli
cate, anemic, thin, pale. below par,
uiwnys tired, doesn’t sit up straight.
low vitality, very small, under-devel
oped, not thriving, growing too fast,
easily upset. lncks energy. born so.
nervous, just like his father's aunt.
very sensatlve, skinny, not himself.’
If this is so, your child’s condition is
serious. You can correct it. It will
mean more to the success and happi
ness of your boy or girl than any for
tune you can leave. them."
Every grade child has been reach
ietl by Miss Soiihakke in health talks,
emphasizing that not only the under-
Welght child needs to observe the
rules of health; that the child up to
normal weight also often had physical
defects that should be corrected. and
that it was necessary for the child up
to normal or above to eat a balanced
diet as for the underweights. Fm
child outside of the nutrition cm.
will be weighed monthly by his teach
er and the findings recorded upon it'-
wall chart prepared by Miss SOlL
bakke.
The class will meet once a week on"
school time, the same hour and tho‘
same day each w ck, to be weighed.‘
the loases or gains charted on the for
(lividuai nutrition charts. Various coir '
ored sit-rs will be awarded. and the
health lesson and story given. The
goal is normal weight and when grad
uated each child receives a silk
badge pinned on with a gold plated
pin.
Mothers are especially invited to
come in lilt' Weekly clans, hut instruc
tion i< primarily to the children. The
cioscei cooperation of parents: and
child are nf course essential. Once a

iiiis parents may have been almost
[powerless to get him to do. The re
‘Dfliteti health instructions. together
together with the weekly checking up
and the spirit of class competition,
combine to produce. on the whole. ex
cellent results. Many of the children
make startling gains and most of them
gain at more than the expected rate.
Miss Sollbakke will later in the
year make a follow up visit to the
classes. and In the meantime the com
mittee. consisting of Mrs. Glover. Mrs.
