Publisher description
Excerpt from American Child Health Association, Formerly American Child Hygiene Association and Child Health Organization of America: Transactions of the First Annual Meeting, Detroit, Mich., October 15-17, 1923 The growth of the American Child Health Association is the direct result of a national realization of the sad deficiency in the protection of child health. The disclosures in the army draft, under which forty per cent were defective in face of the fact that more than ninety per cent of our children are born with normal physical possibilities, gave to many of us a resolution that with peace we would make further effort at the determination of these causes and at their remedy. Military service is not the purpose of a nation - but it provides a cross section that must give us national concern, for the physical and moral well being of the nation marches forward on the feet of healthy children. Through consolidation of the leading associations concerned with child health, we have now secured a unity of action among voluntary agencies by the creation of this national association devoted to the protection and promotion of child health.
