There are other children in the

tion and kindness that they show to
the less fortunate children are bcauti-
full. The principal says that the COM
ing of the Cripples has had an excel
lent effect upon the whole school. 1t
is much easier to keep them quiet and
TO train them to be gentle when they
have the cripples to think Of and they
are eager to help them and to make
things pleasant for them.

be provided TO take the children to

their teens had To begin With the rudl-
m.nts of education when they we're
brought into the school. and conncd
the alphabet and numerals as labori-
ously as an ordinary child of i've or
six would. hut in most cases IL was
found that intelligence was not lack
ing-i, was only dormant and dull
from absence of exercise.
The moral nature OF some of the
crippled children seemed to be per-
ysrted as strangely as their bodies.
Most of them think that every one
hates them. They are keenly fearful
of the ridicule to which they have
been subjected always. and resent the
opprobrium cast upon them by their
misfortune. One little chap. dwarfsd
to half the size he should nave been.
did not want to go to school. lie long
ed only to hide away from human
sight and the unkindness OF the world.
In his small body there was room
for much bitterness OF feeling and a
great Indignation against the fate that
had imposed such suffering upon him.
lie was as truly a cynic as the man
cmbittered by years, OF hard expert
ence, disappointment aud injustice.
He would protest against his life's de-
cree and rail against his circum-
stances with pathetic ferocity. He
wanted to be big. like other boys and
he always was being told that he was
a runt. a dwarf and all the hateful
names that described his undersize.
He felt that II he went into a school
he simply would have more of such
epithets hurled at him.
But he was coaxed out of his shell.
and. to his surprise, he met with moth
ing but kindness. No one mentioned
his size. except once or twice when a
teacher remarked that he was grow
ing or said what a nice big boy he
was getting to be. These were the
pleasantest words he had ever heard
der them. Now he is one of the hap
piest children in the school. and the
greatest hardship he could imagine
would be the deprivation of his school
privileges.
Not mental pabulum alone Is pro-
vided for the cripples. They have to
be washed and decently clad before
they are fit to appear in the school
room. This attention alone increases
their self-respect. for they are more
sensitive than normal children. There
is trained nurse in the school to
wash and treat the afflicted portions
of their bodies and to adjust the ban
dages and braces properly.
Nourishing and appetizing lunches
are served. and frequent changes in
occupation rest the body and keep of
