She was seen going into the theatre with her mother late Fri day afternoon wearing one of the most attractive fall outfits we’ve seen yet. It was a two piece red corduroy suit, the jacket being fitted. With this she wore red corduroy shoes. The young lady in question is a rather stately light brunet. If this isn’t you, then maybe you could be— The young lady who also holds a secretarial position in Newberry, leaving Tuesday morning with two others to take a trip through the Sumter National Forest. She lives in Prosperity. If either of these could be you, come by the Sun office by next Wed nesday and receive your ticket en titling you to one quart of ice cream from Stokes Drug Store with com pliments of Stokes’ and The Sun.

Baby Specialists Run School in Saluda, N.C. BY MRS. ANN E. LEWIS •» Back in the days when mothers were still being ridiculed for rearing their offsprings by Baby Books in stead of by the tried and true theory of mother instinct and frequently had to take th e money saved for a new hat to pay for a trip to the new-fang led Baby Doctor, two already fam ous baby doctors, or pediatrists if you please, chanced to be returning to their summer homes in North Carolina from Louisville, Ky. where they had attended a medical meeting. Th e train was late and they had a long time for talking. Doctors seldom have time to visit with each other except at medical meetings. Dr. D. Lesesne Smith of Spartan burg, and Saluda, N. C., and Dr. Frank Howard Richardson of Brook lyn, N. Y. and Black Mountain, N. C. exchanged ideas and discussed prob lems and probably told jokes and as men and women will in long conver sations, especially when riding on the train or waiting for one to arrive, they became confidential and also discussed dreams and ideals, hopes and ambitions. There was a national campaign for Better Babies, sponsored by a popu lar national magazine, then in pro cess of progress and these two men decided then and there to dedicate their own experience, energy and efforts to the cause of Better Babies in the South. That was in 1920. And up in Sa luda, N. C. this summer the 20th session of the Southern Pediatric Seminar was attended by 76 doctors from nine southern states. This two-weeks post-graduate course in the diseases of children has been given annually in Saluda for the past twenty summers. It is the direct result of that long ago train conversation. From every Southern University and center of medical education in the South come men and women fam- ' ed for their accomplishments in their practice in the diseases of children to lecture to those general practi tioners who can so arrange their dates with the stork as to be able to attend. Their services as lecturers at this unique school are volunteered and through all the years of its existence the faculty has served with out pay and has defrayed their own expenses to and from Saluda. The following men met in Saluda, July 25, 1921, in response to the call of Dr. Smith and Dr. Richardson and organized the Southern Pediatric Seminar: Dr. William A. Mulherin, Augusta, Ga.; Dr. William P. Cor nell (deceased), Columbia; Dr. R. M. Pollitzer, then of Charleston, now of Greenville; Dr. Lawrence T. Royster, then of Norfolk, Va., now of Univer sity of Va.; Dr. William Weston, Co lumbia; Dr. John LaBruce Ward, Asheville, N. C.; Dr. C. V. Akin, U. S. Public Health service, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Francis Johnson, Charles ton; Dr. W. L. Funkhouser, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. J. D. Love, Jacksonville, Fla.; Dr. Lewis W. Elias, Asheville, N. C.; Dr. E. A. Hines, Seneca; Dr. Oren Moore and Dr. O. L. Miller of Charlotte, N. C. Dr. William A. Mulherin of Au gusta, Ga., then chairman of the section in Southern Medical was elect ed Dean, Dr. Richardson, vice-dean, and Dr. Smith, registrar. Dr. Mul herin discharged the duties of his of fice with dignity and style and faith ful attendance for many years. He was succeeded upon his resignation a few years ago by Dr. Samuel F. Ravenel of Greensboro, N. C. That first year five students attend ed. The next year there were 21. The average attendance has been 40 or 50, some years reaching as high as 100. Mothers summering in Saluda are welcomed as listeners and that is how the writer of this article came to know of the unusual nature of this school, now nationally famous in medical circles. The third year Dr. Owen H. Wil son, of Vanderbilt University, Nash ville, Tenn.; Dr. Robert Strong and Dr. Charles J. Bloom of New Orleans, La.; Dr. Ross Snyder and Dr. Ste wart Welch, of Birmingham, Ala., were added to the faculty, Since that time the following men have served the institution, contri buting their services at their own ex pense: Dr. Oliver W. Hill (deceased), Knoxville, Tenn.; Dr. Alfred Walker, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. J. Mason Knox, Baltimore, Md.; Dr. Wilbur C. Davison, Duke University, Durham, N. C.; Dr. Horton Casparis, Vander bilt University, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. A. J. Waring, Savannah, Ga.; Dr. Kenneth Lynch, Medical College of S. C., Charleston; Dr. Charles B. Bray, Birmingham, Ala.; Dr. J. War ren White, Greenville; Dr. Robert Mc Kay and Dr. Hamilton McKay of Charlotte, N. C.; Dr. Samuel F. Rav enel, Greensboro, N. C.; Dr. G. W. Kutcher, Jr., Asheville, N. C.; Dr. Philip A. Mulherin, Augusta, Ga.; Dr. Lather W. Holloway, Jackson ville, Fla.; Dr. James W. Bruce, Louis ville, Ky.; Dr. Warren W. Quillian, Miami, Fla.; Dr. Hines Roberts, At lanta, Ga.; Dr. Mylor W. Beach, Char leston, S, C.; Dr. Lesesne Smith, Jr., Spartanburg; Dr. Julian B. Price, Florence; Dr. J. B. Green, Asheville, N. C.; pr. Angus McBride, Durham, N. C.; Also Dr. Keitt Smith and Dr. George Wilkinson of Greenville have lectured on assigned subjects and Dr. Jessie M. Bierman, formerly of San Francisco, Calif., now with the Child ren’s Bureau, Washington, D. C. has conducted well-baby clinics for the past two years. While our teachers are required by law to attend summer school fre quently to keep their certificates re newed—a prerequisite for getting a job—and our ministers are given va cations by their congregations that they may attend summer assemblies, our doctors, once they pass the State Board, are licensed to practice medi cine in all its branches till Gabriel toots his horn without so much as opening another book or reading a report from a medical meeting. And the stork, that inconsiderate old bird of tireless energy leads them such a hectic existence awaiting his whimsi cal pleasure that the really conscien tious country doctor or general prac titioner has little opportunity of either pursuing his studies or taking his family on a vaction. This sum mer seminar makes it possible for him to do both, both pleasantly and profitably. The classes are held in a large cool room with windows on three sides. There are chairs with “writing arms” for those who wish to take notes and for thos e who prefer to listen in com fort of complete relaxation there are seats taken from old Pullman Coaches that ar e the last word in easy-sitting, and at night they are pushed back against the wall and the doctors and their wives and all the young people of Saluda and the country-side have themselves a good time square-danc ing with real folk music of the moun tain country and a caller to name the figures. There is a free and easy air of informality both in the lecture room and out of it. The stiff, book ish lecture of the college class room is rearely heard. The truth, the whole truth, culled from hard experience and not references to remote writers is what is wanted by those attending and is given by those teaching. The topics discussed are varied—e. g. tuberculosis, child behavior prob lem, practical psychology, allergy, rickets, diartheas, convulsions and dental conditions, nutrition of course, and whooping cough (pertussis, to some), pneumonia, malnutrition, sy- hilis, otitis media (earache at our ouse), adenoids, diptheria, and that pair of rather recently discovered drugs, Supfanilamide and Sulfapyri- dine and their still newer relative. Even lowly impetigo and common itch, though it may be called derma- tomycosis or some other high-sound ing word, come in for their just share of discussion. In short, if there’s anything any doctor or parent wants to know about a child—sick or well, upset, spoiled or stubborn, afflicted or injured—the chances are he can get his answer from someone in Saluda during the two weeks of the Seminar. In fact he might get several answers, for no one school of thought dominates. Widely divergent views are presented on highly controvrsial subjects. It is in teresting indeed to see and hear doc tors disagree good-humoredly and postively. One of the cottages on the hill has been converted into a model well-baby clinic and Dr. Jessie M. Bierman and Miss Ruth Heintzelaan of the Child ren’s Bureau, Washington, D. C. and ^iss Mabel Patton from the North Carolina Board of Health in Raleigh, assisted by several county health nurses and the district supervisor of nurses, held daily clinics for well babies. That’s a relatively new de partment in general practice. “To cure is the voice of the Past. To prevent is the voice of the Future” has been the theme of child wlfare organizations for years. At long last it is permeating the medical profes sion. Our grandmothers said it any- other way—“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”—or “A stitch in time saves nine.” Apply that philosophy to the general practice of medicine and many lives will be sav ed. Anyway, thes e . women believe that most babies are born well, that every mother should know the essen tials of child care, and that most mothers are intelligent enough to grasp the essentials of child care and feeding, and to understand the facts of life. And who is better equipped to teach these than the family physi cian ? ^Interest and curiosity are both registered in th e eyes of the doctors attending these model clinics to see ‘just how it’s done’. Dr. Oren Moore, eminent obstetri cian of Charlotte, N. C. a charter member of the faculty has lectured for years on pre-natal care. Now in answer to popular demand, he has been made Dean of Obstetrics and seven hours instead of two are allot ted to him for the teaching of the last recognized by all as important and the U. S. Public Health Service, Division of Maternal and Child Hy giene is cooperating with the Seminar in furthering this knowledge. Dr. Moore calls on well-known ob stetricians from all southern states to assist him in holding these classes. These men seem to feel that it is their duty to turn over to the pediatricians the very best possible babies for them to feed, care for and worry over. And both groups frankly admit that mothers and even fathers, are rather necessary for the perpetuation of the race as well as for providing them with a means of livliaood. They speak in a remarkably kindly manner of mothers, even of modern mothers. And of course, the general practi tioners, our beloved “Cpuntry Doc tors” who have to “born us and bury us” and see us through all the joys and ills of this old world need to know it all. And they can just about learn it all at Saluda if they don’t already know it. And the oldest and the wis est, the dearest and the best know there’s still lots to learn.
