Excerpt from Physical Status of Preschool Children: Gary, IndIn connection with the social and economic study of infant mor tality and the preschool child in Gary, Ind., made in 1918 by the United States Children's Bureau, an investigation to determine the physical condition of the children was conducted by the hygiene division of the bureau. In all, individual examinations of children under 7 years of age were made during the six-month period extending from April to October.The splendid interest and hearty cooperation of the Gary school authorities made possible the systematic examination of practically all children under 7 years of age who were attending the kindergartens and primary grades in all the public schools and in three parochial schools.The school examinations occupied the first three months of the investigation, following which the examinations were conducted in children's health conferences. The first conference center was in a vacant store in the center of the business district on the North Side of Gary. The conference rooms were open from 9 o'clock in the morning until o'clock in the afternoon every day except Satur day and Sunday. Children were examined by appointment only The second conference or consultation center was opened for the last two months of the study on the South Side of the city, where a large proportion of the foreign population lived.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
