In order to spread the gospel of child health to every one in the community this society is trying, through its observance of "Baby Day" and Kational Child Health week, to focus public attention on the needs of the babies ·and little children. Churche's, medical societies, clubs, and business houses have been asked to co-operate. Catholic and protestant churches have been asked to make special mention of "Baby Day" on Sunday, April 24, ancl ~fay 1.
