Book Description
Excerpt from Nutrition and Growth in Children In 1908, while in charge of the Children's Out-Patient Clinic in the Boston Dispensary, I became interested in a number of undernourished children who kept coming to the dispensary week after week and month after month, passing from one department to another without receiving help. Their records showed long histories and repeated examinations, yet the most frequent diagnoses were "Debility" or "No disease." From the medical standpoint there was nothing the matter with them, but from the point of view of physical fitness there was everything the matter with them. I formed a group or class of 12 of these children, and had them report once a week with the idea of studying them for the whole 24-hour period to discover if possible the real cause of their poor physical condition. In order to visualize their progress, as well as to arouse interest, I made charts showing the actual weight of the children from week to week, with a comparative line representing what their weight should be. The mothers were invited to attend the class and consulted as to the possible cause of failure to gain. Advice was then given on any point that seemed to promise better results.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Road to Good Nutrition All parents want their children to be well nourished. If this de sire is to be realized, the parents should have in mind a picture of what a well-nourished child is like and what their own child, with his particular heredity, is capable of attaining. If they will learn to recognize the characteristics of a well-nourished child, as a farmer or a housewife recognizes the characteristics of an excellent ear of corn or loaf of bread, they will be better able to direct their children along the road to good nutrition. If they have no standard by which to judge the child's nutrition they may think that it is good when in reality it is poor. A description of the well-nourished child is given in this bulletin, with a general outline of the care that should bring about this desirable condition. Some of the signs that indicate nutritional failure in a child are described, and the chief hazards to nutrition at various periods of a child's life are pointed out, so that parents, with the advice of their physician, may recognize and deal with these hazards. An effort has been made to give a general view of the problem of nutritional guidance throughout the period of growth, with special at tention to the continuity of the child's life. Throughout the bulletin emphasis has been put on the positive side of good nutrition and the methods of attaining it.

Book Description
Excerpt from Food, Health and Growth: A Discussion of the Nutrition of Children This little volume contains the Lane Lectures given at the Medical School of the Leland Stanford Junior University in San Francisco in December, 1921. The lectures are published substantially as they were delivered. The book is not therefore to be regarded as a text-book or even a systematic discussion of the aspects of nutrition which are here considered. But out of the wide range of topics relating to the nutrition of children certain ones have been chosen which seemed of special interest and importance at the present time, even though they are apparently not closely connected. Everything relating to the subject of nutrition and especially the food and nutrition of children has acquired a new interest in the last few years and much new knowledge has been added. The effort has been made in these lectures to present some of this in such a simple form as to make it available to the student of nutrition and the general reader.
