There are growing up around u? to-day dozens, scores, of little children who are 111-nourish ed. uncared for. neglected, growing month by month into the types which All our Tubercular Schools and Sana torlums and even our Feeble-Minded Schools. With only a few exceptions, thif cannot be traced to any lack of maternal love, but to the horrible curse of those twin foes of humanity. Poverty and Ignorance. Cases of Malnutrition During last year the regular medi cal examiner of our city schools re ported 223 cases of malnutrition of such evident and marked degree that he recommended a course of treat uißnt for them. It Is a well acknowl- edged fact that a run down, anaemic system is a feeding ground for germs, especially those of Suberculosls. The same thing applies to a brain ill supplied with nourishing blood. This is evidenced by lassitude, indif ference and little minds too tired for the effort of study. • \Ve simply cannot do a thing with them," said one young teacher. "Thev do not take things in and I have to go over and over a lesson to them." They Need Red Blood In proof of the assertion that this inentn' condition Is principally a re action of the physical, there have been several cases in the Penn build ing alone where the children have re» turned from the Open-Alr Schools or fron Mont Alto with rosy cheeks, sparkling eyes and quick ready brains. They had been «lven a sup ply of good red blood and they showed it. A few years ago there lived in the very heart of the city a little family circle of six who were comparatively happy, thrifty and content. Then death claimed the bread winner. After his taking, the widow struggled to keep things going but nature had made her unfitted for the role of caretaker. She was one of those incapable wo mert wlioee lives must be sheltered and guarded by stronger hands. Uttle by little she grew discouraged and step by step she sank. Hera in the end of the story as one of the teach ers told it: "I knew who they were because they were from the country back there near my home and I knew they were good people." she said. "Some times when I looked into those four pinched, peaked, hungry little faces 1 Ju»t rould not stand It any longer and 1 would gather them up and take them home with me for a good warm meal. Then my mother and I would make up a bag of plain wholesome things like potatoes, flour and cab bane and give It to them. Their mother was proud and it used to make her very angry. Do you know, she actually sent me rude, unkind notes shout It but I did not mind be cause I understood. One Christmas For Them "One Christmas I told the children to come to my home. They did and I shall never forget how they looked. They were shivering and hungry and positively in perfect rags. My brother, a big, s}tern man, who is not easily moved broke down and cried at the sight of tnose forlorn little tots that Christmas morning. I simply had lo 140 into another room. I could not stand It. Finally things got so bad that three of the children were taken away .from the mother and-placed In homes, one boy was left with h«r. Just lately he came to school smelling strongly of cigaret smoke. When the principal reprimanded him he caid: " 'Honest I don't smoke! It's Mother.' And It was. \ "She drinks, too, now, and there is not much hope for her, I am afraid." Perhaps not for her, poor soul, but what of those little lives Just start ing? season within a stone's throw of one of our churches lived a man whose children attended public school and in the depth of winter he had In his pocket exactly ten cents with which to provide a meal for his wife, himself and five little ones. "Do you see that boy?" asked a teacher Indlcutlng n lad of nine or ten. "He comes to school every day with his hands dreadfully dirty be* cause he la compelled to ipen4 Ma spare time along the tracks plcklna coal to keep him warm at home. 1 know he is often hungry. And that poor pinched little girl in the third row is the child of a drunkard and shows she is only half fed." With such cases as these all aAaut us seen, understood and met chiefly by the klndheartedness of young teachers are we indeed, as our critio expressed it.
