Report to Board of Education Reveals
Sad Condition Among the
Children of the
Poor.

Chicago, Oct. 3.-Ten thousand
school children in Chicago are insult
ficiently nourished, some live con
stantly on the verge of starvation and
many are not sufficiently clad to keep
them in a healthy condition, accord
ing to a report made to the board OF
education Thursday. Specific instances
of poverty, noted in house-to-house
inspection, are given in the report
which is regarded as rejecting bad
social condition in Chicago. Many
parents were found to sleep so late
that their children went to school
without breakfast.
In one house where the father was
ut of work and the mother sick, hve
children were found to have lived
three days on dry bread and tea. In
another house six children reported
they had lived on one meal a day
Another mother employed as seam
stress said she supported her four
children on $3.50 a week. Numerous
pupils reported inability to attend
school because of insobriety of their
parents. Every afternoon I have to
hurry home from school to get the
dinner" declared a pale-faced little
girl of IL years. 1t was discovered
she was burdened with the household
duties for a father and five other
children.
The inspecting physician reported
her physically exhausted from over
work. In the poorer sections of the
stockyards district the most heartrend
ing conditions were disclosed. Chill
dren deserted or left by parents who
had been sent to jail, were some Of
the instances. In one home the chill
dren were left unsupported by the
father having committed suicide.
The inspection was made by the
child study branch of the compulsory
education department and 1t is expect
ed that the school board will take
action on the conditions. 1t is pos
sible that the board may consider the
question OF free breakfasts for pupil:

Testimony Before Commerce Commits
sion at St. Louis Brings Out
Announcement

st. Louis, Oct. &c. C. Halle, vice
president and traffic manager of the
Missouri. Kansas & Texas railway,
testified before the Interstate Com
merce commission here Thursday that
freight rates will be advanced on all
lines in the territory of the western
trunk lines committee and on all roads
in the territory of the trans Missouri
committee. The former embraces Chi
cago and the section of the country
between the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers, and the latter embraces the
country west of the Missouri river as
far as Utah.
Vice President Haile's testimony
was the most important of the day IN
the hearing of the complaint brought
by the Texas railroad commission
against the advanced freight tariffs
now effective between Illinois and Mis-
souri, points and Texas. At the con-
clusion of the session Thursday after
noon, the hearing was adjourned unth
November when it will Je resumed at
Austin, Tex.
An increase in freight rates, said
Mr. Halle, is imperative If the rail-
roads are to escape bankruptcy. The
amount of the approaching advance
has not been settled, though the gen
eral understanding seems to be that
it will not exceed 10 per cent. When
the advance is to become effective was
not brought out in the testimony
Thursday.

is 70 per cent of full crop and the
growing condition of cotton, Septem-
Der 25, was 67.7 per cent, decrease
of 2 per cent from the previous month.
