KINGSTREE'S BETTER BABIES.
Those Receiving Highest Marks
In Contest ol April 15.
The score cards used in the Better
Baby contest held in Kingstree April
15 have been completed by Miss
! Mary E Frayser, of the Home Eco1
nomic department of Winthrop coli
lege, and returned to the Civic
! league.
I About to babies were examined
I
! here, but only those attaining an avI
erage of 90 points in the mental and
physical examinations were passed
according to the. standards fixed by
the American Medical association.
The babies are divided into four
divisions,according to age. Age Division
II includes all children from
II to 23 months. In this division A
C Swails, Jr, scored 95.5% and Robert
Claude McCabe, Jr, 94.9%.
Age Division III includes children
between the ages of 23 and 35
months. lit this division Emory Clifton
Kinder scored 94%.
Age Division IV includes children
between the ages of 35 and 47
months. In this division Margaret
Frances Kelley scored 94.6% and
John F McFadden, Jr, 93.1%.
There were no entries in Age Di
vision I, which includes children be
tween the ages ot b ana 11 mourns.
With the score cards Miss Frayser
included the following letter:
To the mothers of the children examined
in the Better Babies' contest:
We return to you your baby's
score card. If your baby does not
come up to the standard set up by
the American Medical association,
consult your doctor and follow his
advice.
Mothers are urged to read the
bulletins put into their hands at the
Baby contest. Remember that physicians,
nurses and club women gave
their time in order that children examined
shall be helped. A healthy
child may be kept healthy, while a
delicate child may become healthy if
it receives wise care.

Serious study of the problems connected
with child rearing by a group
of women is sure to bring enlightenment
to the parents and help to the
children. So mothers are urged to

Very respectfully yours,
Mary E Frayser.
