3. History The project for making competitive examinations of "human stock" was worked out by Mrs. Harry T. Watts, of Audubon, Iowa, the originator of the Baby Health Examination movement, and Dr. Florence Brown Sherbon of the University of Kansas, who had also been a pioneer worker in this movement. It was not until 1920 that a Fair executive was found, in Phil Eastman, Secretary of the Kansas Free Fair, who had sufficient faith in the idea to finance its demonstration. In September, 1920, the first Fitter Family competition was held at the Kansas Free Fair at Topeka, where it has been repeated each subsequent year. The promoters now feel that the project has passed the experimental stage and that the time has come to assemble accumulated data and critically review principles and methods of procedure. METHODS OF PROCEDURE. The methods of procedure are given in detail for the guidance of groups who desire to make a similar effort. PUBLICITY. 1.
