Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the extent of health provisions for children in New York State, with a main focus on infant and maternal care. The information was gathered through a statewide survey conducted by volunteers who visited schools and analyzed responses from questionnaires sent to county leaders. It covers the period from late 1920 to the fall of 1921, during which the impact of World War I and the high number of physical defects found in young men during the draft were driving national interest in child health. The book includes data on the laws pertaining to school medical inspections and discusses the efficacy of the enforcement of these laws and the extent to which local authorities were meeting the minimum requirements for child health. It also discusses the need for a larger unit of administration and taxation in rural areas, with a focus on the pros and cons of consolidating school districts, and the need for an expansion of the nursing profession and the establishment of clinics for children with specific health needs. The book concludes by emphasizing the need for cooperation between health departments and local communities in order to create a body of public opinion that will advocate for better healthcare for children. It was hoped that the data gathered and the conclusions drawn would spark legislative action and lead to practical improvements in public health.
