NATIONAL BABY WEEK
We desire to draw attention to the special campaign which is being conducted this year by the National Baby Week Council. The object of National Baby Week (July 1st to 7th) is to generate that power of opinion, of publicity; energy, and interest which is necessary to impress upon individuals, either as parents or as citizens, their obligations to the health of the nation. At a Conference to be held on July 1st, 2nd, and 3rd by the National Council for Maternity and Child Welfare, the special subjects for consideration this year will be outlined, and we understand that local organizers throughout the country will concentrate their efforts on bringing home to men and women of all classes the need for a National Maternity Service scheme, the need for a better provision of Nursery Schools, and the urgent necessity of a wide and intelligent knowledge of parentcraft. Monday, July 14th, has been selected as Children's Day. Those interested should refer to the Secretary, National Baby Week Council, 117 Piccadilly, London, W. 1, for further information, and read Mother and Child (formerly National Health), the official organ of the National Council for Maternity and Child Welfare. The constituent societies of the latter comprise practically all associations engaged in welfare work of this kind.
