The Child a National Asset.

Poverty is not a crime, ii may be a
blessing. But SUM ridden poverty is not
a blessing; it is a curse and a crime,
and the crime is ours who let it be. 1t
is as much the Christians duty as the
citizens to fight it with better homes,
better schools, Fairgrounds for the child

grow unchallenged by the gutter AS for
the man who can sit in his church and
turn a deaf ear to the cry of the children
shaving in workshop and tenement when
they ought to be out at play he is neither
one nor the other. He is not Christian,
for his soul knows no mercy. And he is
a traitor to his country; for more pre-
cious than the wealth OF its forests and
mountains and fields IS the citizenship
which child labor depraves The boy and
the girl-they are its wealth; they are
the republic itself in the day that is to
come.-GJacoD a. Riis, in The Circle.
