CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

how often are parents anu Iho@e ~
whom the care of these little helpless
representatives of the future genera
ton belongs. little aware of the ex'
treme care necessary for the complete
5 deveIopment of the mental, physical
and moral little man and woman?
From the moment of birth this de-
yelopment begins. and time lost in the
beginning may take years in after lie

pie look upon a baby as a piece OF
mink flesh without sex or o It is
impossible to allow a baby to stoop or
talk through its nose and expect to
have if develop into a perfect specimen
of the human race. It is also lmpos-
sible to allow a baby to do as he likes
after the indulgent but absolutely mis-
led mother has said, No, no." or to
allow the small boy to run to the cor.
ner grocery for five cents worth of

candy habit has developed into the
liquor habit.
AS the invisible being is always more

little helpless infant in your lap that

parts of the study of child life may at
present be lett Tor some other time or !.

Granting that all children need cara

little one in distress, De the neglect in

This leads up to the vital subject at
hand-the poor little helpless, improp-
erIy fed and cared for children of our
poor.
Honolulu has achieved much in the
past few years which only a commu>
nifty comprised of intelligent and be-
.nevolent citizens could attain. It is
only that the absolute facts about the
tremendous deathrate of infants in the
Hawaiian Islands is known to the doc
tors and a limited few, that a hospital
for children has not been started be-
fore.
The present plan is to raise enough
funds to establish a hospital, where
every facility for the cure of chill |
dren's diseases and the care of the I
hopelessly deformed or weak may be I
provided. The doctors of Honolulu /
ave signified their willingness to give J
their services free if a suitable building
can be procured and money enough Sc L
