Dr. Sherbon Conducts Seven Health Clinics Records of Children Kept Until School Age Is Reached
Dr. Florence Sherbon is assisting in seven pre-school clinics in the various elementary schools of Lawrence. Members of her child care classes are helping. There is one clinic in each school district and all children of pre-school age are supposed to be brought to one school. The record of every kind of action. The record of every child is kept on file and checked up each year until the child reaches kindergarten age.
Along with the statistics of weight and height the reports contain a short history of the child, including date of birth, sex, height at school and child at a very early age, illnesses of parents, any mental deficiency in the family, and all other factors that would in any way influence the child or his mother, either mentally or physically.
"Only 20 years ago the first 50 babies ever to be examined were tested in Des Moines, Iowa," said Dr. Sherbon, who was one of the doctors presiding over that first baby child examination. To find the most perfect baby in Des Moines. The doctors who acted as judges found the choosing such a difficult task that they decided better means of testing babies should be formulated and developed. This is how Dr. Sherbon became an interested child welfare.
A duplicate of the report is sent to each of the mothers with suggestions written upon it for her to follow. She returns this duplicate when she brings her child back the next year with this information as she has seen her child develop.
"From this first clinic health conferences and clinics were developed in every up-to-date city all over the United States, and in turn, spread all over the civilized world," said Dr. Sherbon.
Dr. Sheron founded and developed the pre-school clinic in Lawrence about seven years ago and a clinic has been held here every year since that time.

NY JAYHAWKER will agree with Ben Bernie, Walter Winchell, and the Editor of Ballyhoo, (judges in the Jayhawker beauty contest of last year), that the FRERKING camera "clicks" with Mount Oread's most outstanding examples of feminine pulchritude.
