When Miss R. H. Parker. superintendent of the
Wilson Industrial School for Girls, asked re-
garding the inspectors report. she replied:
so far this school Is concerned, the situation
is not nearly so serious as Mr.. Lechtreckers fig
would TO indicate Mr.. Lechtrecker was
here about two weeks ten days ago. He looked
over the plant. the girls at work in their

CH1LDREN's AID SOCIETY.

". L. Grosvenor, assistant superintendent of the
Childrens Aid Society. said yesterday that any in
vestigation to ascertain the number of breakfast
less or underfed children who attended the soce-
tvs schools had been made in a merely informal
way.
We started TO investigate for this purpose last
winter" said Mr.. Grosvenor. but nothing of any
use to US came of It. Some children who were
really hungry, we found, were too proud to raise
their hands in answer to the question How many
of you have to school without breakfast
while dozens of others. who we knew had had
something to eat held UP their hands without the
least hesitation when they thought that they
would get something good by doing -
1T is true that many of school children are
anamic as Inspector Lechtrecker reported at AL
bany ard that hundreds of them make their
breakfasts Of tea or coffee and bread but this Is
no new condition. In fact, our Children's parents
and grandparents for generations back have sub
sisted on this same kind Of breakfast.
THE remedy? Certainly not to feed the boys
and girls in all the public schools. From the prac-
teal test of this idea recently made by the Saliva
ton Army which proved OF little value. we must
realize that the panacea does not lie here. This
practice would border socialism it seems TO me,
for how would we know where TO stop? II we

Homemade Rosy Checks.

Gladys is an anaemic child with
pale cheeks, and she is eight years
old. Much to the annoyance of
Gladys, her playmates have made
the absence of color in her cheeks
the subject of conversation even in
her hearing. Evidently the young
lady determined to put a stop to
criticism and appeared the other
day with cheeks glowing like the
rose with a most beautiful and art
istic pink.
"Oh, Gladys, where did you get
the pink cheeks ?" cried her play
mates in chorus.
Casting down her eyes, the dis
Greet daInsel replied, "Mamma told
me not to tell."-New York Press.
