A HOlNEL ESS CHILD
IS WORSE MANNED

haps the question OF furnishing lodg-
ing also. Are all these activities ac-
complishing the same thing. or do
We somewhere cross line beyond
which they are doing a different
thing, or even tpidoing the thing
which We started out to do. l think
that school feeding presents the
crossing of such line. You do not
help the child when YOU lmpare tho
home.
The home Is the natural habitat of
the human young. II is built into
the spiritual nature of the child and
cannot be removed without taking
with it the vital part of him. It is
an institution older than man, and
has made him. You cannot destroy
this relation and leave him quite
alive. The homeless child is worse
MANNED than the man without a
country He is the fish without wa
ter; he is creature without his es-
sential means of life. 1t is not u
question of the life of the child and
the home. but of his life In that re-
lation. In the question of school
feeding We have reached the yer,
citadel of the home. II we do moi
defend this. the battle is lost.
\
The proper course for priyat,
charity and for social improvement, Is
not over the dead body of the home
but in maintaining IT. We must Sc,
that the. child is fed, but continue il
make the home and not the school
our organ for that purpose.

general agent for the Massachusetts
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty
to Children, in an address before the
section on children of the National
Conference OF Charities and Cor
rectlon, here today.
Our communities do not yet rec

broken up. Nor do they recognize
the great wrong that is done the chill
dren by allowing them to remain
with their parents or guardians when
all the influences that exist about
them result in their moral degener-
alton. The institution of the family
was for the purpose of giving the
child the physical care and moral
and religious training in virtue
which would make IT grown into a
useful man or woman. If the child
has no home, no training, and In
stead of virtue is learning vices every
day, the good of the child and the
good of the state require that the
family shall be broken up. This
breaking of the ties In many cases,
does not need to be permanent, and
the removal OF tho custody of chill
dren in some instances. becomes the
tnrning point in the lives of parents
to redeem themselves.
