8 YOU enter Elmwood park from West Leavenworth street
the first sound you hear Is a mingling of babies' cooing
and crying and children's happy shouts, and the first
sight you see is a lively colony of infants and small boys
and girls in a clearing among the trees, jhe babies are
in charge of uniformed trained nurses and the children
romp fn tha green grass or dig tunnels in the sand pile.
this outdoor colony of little people is the Baby Welfare Day
camp, conducted by the Visiting Nurse association for the benefit of
infants who are sick from heat or improper or insufficient nourish
ment, and for the older brothers and sisters who have no trees or
grass or sand piles at their homes. Many weary mothers also come
with their babies and find refreshment in a few hours' rest and relaxa
tion in the cool, beautiful park.
These mothers go away from the camp, not only refreshed, but
greatly enlightened with regard to proper mothod of caring for babies.
For while the trained nurses Miss Josepha Roberts, Miss Carrie
Kolarik and others bathe and feed and tend the sick babies they
explain to the mothers the best ways of doing these things and teach
them what to do when baby has a fever or colic or other ailments.
The nurses, under the direction of Miss Lillian Stuff, follow up their
work of care of babies and instruction of mothers right into their
homes.
During the two weeks the camp has been organized thirty-six '
sick babies have been cared for there, many times that number of
children have used the place for a recreation ground and many mothers
have learned things about chlfd culture which they probably would
never have known otherwise.
Miss Louise McPhersqn, president of the Visiting Nurse associa
tion; Mrs. Victor Caldwell, and other directors, were instrumental in
starting the work of the camp this season, and it Is now In charge
of a committee headed by Mrs. Charles Metz. The good women of the
association hope to save many little lives this summer and to prevent
future sickness by instructing the mothers. - . . ....
