Miss Mary Ryder also from Lancaster gave a short ad ter dress. A health play, which had worked up by the girls of the Little Mother’s League was also an inter- esting feature on the programme. There were three prizes awarded. for the three different age groups, the first prize being a silver drinking cup for the best baby and nearest normal baby in its first year. There were ten babies to compet for this prize. Out of these ten, the following: Edna Claire Rahm, John Henry Roth, Goldie Mae Mumma an« Ellis were brought before the judges for the deeision, which was diffiicult to arrive at. After a close observation of the babies and their clinical charts which had all their vis- to the clinic recorded, and the result of their physical examination, which had been made from time to time by the different physicians at- tending the clinics, Lee Ellis prsented with the cup. The second prize, a silver baby spoon, for the nearest normal child in its second year, was awarded to Doris Hendrix, with honorable men- tion for Samuel Miller Warren Snyder. The third prize, also a silver spoon was awarded to George Schneider, with honorable mention for Ethel MacDonald Bucher as a close second The chilrren who were considered eligible for these prizes, were those who had been most regular in attend- ance. The enrollment had reached 107 up to the time of our last clinic and we hope that next season when our work will be again started, all these children will be again brought to the clinics, and we are sure the enrollment will rapidly grow.
