 The news that comes from New Nork's east side that hundreds Of school children are starving is sad indeed and all the more regrettable because such conditions have been nermitted to exist in the big city, so prosperous and with so much busi- ness going on. Children have gone to school in the morning without any breakfast and many have tainted at their desks during the day. If such scholars are behind in their studies the authorities need not go far to ascertain the cause. Money is now being raised with which to establish kitchens where the poor children of the east side may be provided with food.-New Britain Herald.
