Written examinations give evidence that the fundamentals of child care have been learned nnd that the serious impor tance of the work of the federation has taken deep root. Many of the children who have re ceived the instruction ate actually little mothers who arc largely responsible for the care of the babies in their families. "From the course of lectures given b. Sliss I,ovelan. we have learned the fol lowing," writes a little girl In seventh grnde. "There are four pests: the fly, lice, mosquitoes nnd bedbugs. The fly is n very bad insect. It is around sick people and garbage cans and then enr rles disease to babies. Von should put netting over your baby while It is out. Baby May. Roll Off Lap "In washing n baby while it is very young jou should wash It on the table, because if you wash it on your lap it might roll off; and when It gets older, jou should have a little tub to bathe it in ; and when you hear the doorbell ring jou should never let your baby in the tub while you go because in ay of them get drowned, nnd jou should use castile soap because that is the best." You should always be caieful to hold weak, and if it is not held carefully It might be injured," writes nnother seventh-grade little mother. The children have apparently made the instruction a personal study, for (.omctimes the baby is called "she" and sometimes "he." A little girl in the sixth grade very evidently has a little brother at home whom she has learned to bathe. "When we bathe the baby we must hold his back by our hand. When we dress the baby we first hold his, back and put his shirt on. It can be a shirt with buttons or one like a summer shirt.

"The baby should have sleep enough," she saj. "Indeed, this Is very important. You need not be alarmed if the baby sleeps about twenty hours out of the twenty four, for this is very good for the baby. "Another important point nnd, in fact, the most important, I think, is cleanliness of baby and clothes. The baby cannot be washed too often. They like the water and love to splash in it." The Little Mothers' Leagues have been established in the public schools nnd In the Lighthouse settlement, Neighborhood Center nnd Reed street settlement. At the playgrounds the classes arc taught by the teachers as a regular part of the playground activ ities, and nt the Settlements the classes are in charge of nurses from the divi sion of child hygiene.
