President Roncovieri and Superin-
tendent Langdon, our congratulations!
Long have the D1embers of the social
-r lab
likewise the settlement workers and
others of us whose business lies partly
beyond our own doorsteps, known that
hundreds of little tykes, boys and girls
alike, were being deprived of the birth
right voUchsafed to them by the State
of a public school education. Some of
them have been deprived of it through
economic conditions-and for shamei
For shame that children, brought into
the world unsolicited, should be turned
adrift in their babyhood years to pro-
vide bread for their puny bodies-and
for the bodies of brothers and sisters
whom an unreasoning nature thrusts
forth without reason or necessity We
have all known this ever since we
learned to think. We also know that
many children are not awaiting them
selves of schoolwork because of the
apathy or disability of parents. In the
Latin quarter this is largely true.
Now has the Board of Education
gone into the work of compelling edu-
cation in right good earnest, and the
clubwomen, likewise all women and all
humanitarians, applaud the energetic
efforts of the leaders of the two arms
of our educational service. On with the
good work. Likewise that of cleansing
the schools and rendering them more
sanitary. Also the medical examina-
ton of pupils. All these innovations
are in the interests of physical perfec-
ton, which, we all concede, must go
hand in hard with mental and moral
development.
