Excerpt from Child Care: The Preschool Age Sir: I transmit herewith the third bulletin in the Care of Children series. This bulletin discusses the care of the child from 2 to 6 years of age, continuing through the important preschool period the directions for the care and hygiene of the child begun in the previous bulletins, Prenatal Care and Infant Care. Like the preceding bulletins of this series, this number is addressed to the average American mother and particularly to those mothers who are so situated that they are obliged to forego many of the opportunities afforded to those who live within easy distance of libraries, infant and child welfare associations, physicians, visiting nurses, and other aids in the problems of child care. Also, like the other bulletins of the series, it attempts no more than to set forth the best accepted opinions upon the matters included in its scope. In the age period considered many forms of defect and disease have been found to make their appearance which might have been prevented by a better understanding of the simple laws of hygiene. The bulletin is written by Mrs. Max West, who prepared the earlier bulletins in this series. Dr. Grace L. Meigs, in charge of the division of hygiene of the Children's Bureau, has supervised the discussion of subjects touching the medical field. The bureau is again indebted to many physicians and other persons for critical reviews of the manuscript and for assistance in securing material. Special mention must be made of the helpful cooperation of the Division of Home Economics of the States Relations Service, United States Department of Agriculture, as well as that of the Extension Service of the University of Wisconsin.
