Other districts are waiting, and their need
is great. Teachers and grounds are read
ily obtained. Who will help put these
children into trained hands and helpful
surroundings for the weeks OF summer,
which must otherwise be spent among the
squslid surroundings and depressing in
fuences of the worst streets of our city ?
These children are to be our citizens and
The great philosopher Plato says:
The plays of the children have the

BILE. Cut away from IL all the meat in neat
little pieces; beat up the fins and minor
claws in a mortar, then stew the results In
a stew-pan slowly, along with a little
white stock; season this with a bunch OF
sweet herbs; a small onion, a little bit OF
celery, and a carrot may be placed I'm the
stock as also the toasted crust OF a French
roll. Season to taste with salt and a
little Cayenne. Simmer the whole for

coral in a little -four and gravy, stir 1t in.
Let the soup remain on the fire for a few
minutes without boiling and serve hot.
A small strip OF the rind of a lemon may
be boiled in the stock and a little nutmeg
may be added TO the seasoning. This Is a
troublesome soup to prepare, but there
are many who hk it when it is well made.
