“…The human relationships that they have established have seemed more important than the &dquo;curriculum.&dquo; Early results are encouraging. 3. One component of the highly sophisticated DARCEE program at the George Peabody College for Teachers in Nashville includes 20 infants; the program starts them at 7 to 9 months of age.…”

The favorable results of the minimal stimulation program here described have important implications for all who provide health services for underprivileged preschool children. The authors indicate that this project is the first which coordinates compensatory infant education with complete health care, with the prime educator being a public health nurse.T&dquo; many inner city children do poorly I 'HAT many inner cit children do poorly in our public school systems is undisputed. As a group they show IQ scores 10 to 20 points below middle class children,, and have more behavior disturbances and personality dysfunctions in school. 2. One of the earliest and broadest attempts at enrichment, the Head Start program, seems to have established two far-reaching principles: (I) three years of age is much too late to begin intervention,~ (2) unless the educational program includes the parents the results will be meager and reversible .4As a direct result of the deficiencies revealed through the Head Start experience, 36 Parent and Child Centers were started in 1967 with programs directed toward improving the physical and emotional health and cognitive development of children from birth to 3 years of age.&dquo; The Centers, administered by the Office of Economic Opportunity, may encompass both homebased stimulation efforts and day care programs. These long-term and expensive studies are being evaluated, but statistical data will not be available for some time. The same may be said for the handful of experimental infant day care programs which began to develop about 1965, fostered by the interest of the staff of the National Institute of Mental Health. These are concentrating on preventing culturally determined mental retardation.6, The results thus far appear very favorable. The figures from many group infant care programs 8 which are primarily for service will also be evaluated in due course. Other research programs in early education are concerned for the most part with children two years of age or older.9 9 Developmental Studies with Infants If we confine our citations to those of investigators whose subjects are under one year of age, we find five-with work still in progress -which have published some results.

“…Rates based 'on such early life events are sensitive health indicators that vary among population groups and because of environmental conditions (8)(9)(10). But, so far, researchers have found it difficult, if not impossible, to isolate the specific sociocultural components influencing early life mortality (8,10,111). Anderson has suggested that a reasonable approach would be to break the environmental components into fairly general ones and show how they operate at a given time and place (10).…”

CENSUS TRACTS are useful demographic and statistical units of study. Within the larger circumscribed community, they are especially useful for determining subpopulation characteristics and subpopulations at risk to inadequate care, disease, and mortality. Officials participating in community health planning have expressed a strong interest in studies using census tract data. A recent report by the Study Group on the 1970 Census and Vital and Health Statistics suggests that the availability of such small area data "presents an excellent opportunity for those who are responsible for vital records systems to produce complementary data necessary for health planning, demography, and general social research" (1). Census tracts provide useful basic statistical units for comparing vital rates only when both the number of events (the numerator) and the population at risk (the denominator) for each tract are adequate. To solve the problem of a numerator, the investigator can extend his observations to 3
