cording to this showing, scarcely one
eighth, or not more than 10 per cent, of
the children that are today found in re-
formatories and prisons have ever had
anything like a fair chance, and prob
ably a careful investigation would show
that but small proportion of this small
remainder has really enjoyed the ben
eft of proper mental and moral training,
for moral, and even Christian parents
are often so engrossed in affairs of bust

not receive proper care, and in not few
instances the influence of parents is al

CHILDREN OF THE sLUMs.
Experiments That Prove Environ

An interesting household of twenty-four
children is now under the care of DR.. and
Mrs John H Kellogg in Battle Creek,
Mich. DR.. Kellogg is a firm believer in
the power of environment to neutralize
o. eradicate hereditary tendencies, and
his experiments during the last ten years
with several hundreds OF slum children
have proved highly successful.
The house occupied by the family Is
commodious and well equipped with
everything that tends toward the health
and happiness of the children. 1t stands
within a grove of forty acres, which has
been converted into veritable park,
with herds of deer. ponies. a swimming
