1916 IS BABY YEAR
IN UNITED STATES
NATION-WIDE CAMPAIGN FOR
CONSERVATION OF INFANTS
Nineteen hundred and sixteen is
baby year. The facts about Ameri
can babies, the needs of American
babies and America's responsibility
to her babies will this year be
known as never before, because the.
first week in March will be baby,
week throughout the country.
More than 400 communities, rep
resenting every state in the union j
are already laying their plans for
baby week, according to the child-;
ren's bureau of the United States;
department of labor, in order that1
during those seven days the needs
of the babies may be so presented
that all the parents in those com-!
murities will learn a little better <
how to care for their babies, and all j
the citizens will realize that they j
have a special obligation to safe- j
guard the conditions surrounding
hab'es.
I An-, it is confidently believed by
those who are interested in this n«-!
j lion-wide baby week that the rc
j raainder of the year will be marked 1
by a strengthening of all communi
ty activities for saving babies’ lives
and giving them a better chance to
j grow to a healthy maturity,
j The federal children’s bureau be
lieves that baby week will give
mor parents a chance to learn t'.e
accepted principals of infant care
ar.d will awak en every American
to his responsibility for the deaths
of the 500,000 babies who. accord
ing to the census estimates, die
every year before they art 12
months old. Therefore, the children’s
bureau has prepared r. special be'
letin of practical suggestions fer
baby week campaigns, i-lapted to
the varying needs of communities
of different type-.-. Copies of this
bulletin may by had free of charge
from the children’s bureau at Wash
ington.

THE NORTHWESTERN
Couple enjoy adventures and are
married at sea.
The sails are spread, the ship

For a voyage throng*, the un

And never have we as on this
voyage
Of the Good ship Northwestern.
Tut to sea with a cleared conscien
ce. better hope,
Or a heart more light and free.
A single glance at the passengers
and crew of the Northwestern as
she made port last Saturday morn
ing would thoroughly convince one
th:v the voyage had been an enjoy
able one, and all because the good
natuted Caps. O'Brien united in
nyirriage while at sea, a couple
whose names are not obtainable.
After the launching of the happy
couple on the Sea of Life by Capt.
O'Brien the love of adventure and
the New Year good cheer took
advantage of the passengers and the
usual charivari followed. In an In

for Ketchikan, we hear the praise
of the other passengers for Capt.
O'Brien, in entering into the fun
afforded by the occassior. and mak

DO SCHOOLS rFACH
PATRIOTISM?
(Vancouver Columbian)
In a speech accepting an American
flag for his courtroom. Judge G. F.
Skipworth, of Eugene, Or., raid in
part: “Teach patriotism in the pub
ic schools, proclaim it from the pul
► r. emphasize it in the public press
and we as lawyers, under oath to
support the laws of the nation,
should bo leaders in the cause of pa
triotism.” The question is do the
public schools teach patriotism or
is the tendency towards a sort of
national skepticism that seeks only
to point out the flaws in our sys
tem of government? Love of coun
try should be the guiding star of
every young person under the
American flag, for a strong sense
of patriotism is required of those
who are guiding the ship of state
in order to avoid the shoals and
ouicksands that beset popular ogv
emm.ent, and no more patriotism
can be expected of an official than
is possessed by those who elect
him to office.
