DEPENDENT CHILDREN PROBLEM

A woman engaged in charita Bile
work was telling the other day of a
pitiable case of child in another
town that was badly crippled says the
Quincy Journal 1t was unable to at.
tend public school. The parents could
not afford to send it to any other in.
,stitution. There had previously been
another case of a cripple in the same
neighborhood, and provision for senl-
ing this unfortunate to school for
cripples had been made out of pub,i;
relief funds. But the local auth IL
tiles would not make a second app:c-
priation for such a purpose. They
SAID the voters would never stand for
it,
To send this boy to certain school
for crippled children would cost 81
ia week. At the end Of that time the
child would have been taught to earn
a living, and in all probability won d
be self supporting. The medical treat.
ment at the institution would have
improved his condition
Now the boy is growing up only a
child in mentality. and will not be
able to perform any useful labor. Al.

years may have to support him for a
life time, and perhaps descendants OF
his also.
The case is typical of cases of Grip
pies. feeble minded children and 9th.
er unfortunates, that are found al
most everywhere. Not merely is the
condition of such little ones most
pathetic. 1t is not good business to
let these children come to manhood
and womanhood In such condition If
! it can be helped. The great majority
of them can be taught useful occupa-
lions. Their bodily infirmities Often
sharpen their wits, and all they mead
| is treatment and education at the crit
ical growing period.
! Often the trouble is with the pa
rents, who are unwilling to pay few
dollars for consulting physicians.
They perhaps see some half trained
! practitioner. who prescribes some
useless linament. So the case drifts
along and the trouble becomes per.
manent.

here today. There are now over L.
100000 acres of this land available
At a recent delinquent tax sale, there
was a demand for at least 10000

for the heavy demand.

evidently photographs Of real players,
real games. real crowds, real training

is carried from his seat back to the
days when he played scrub out be-
hind the barn. from there to the va
cant lot games and, finally TO big
league contests. The ball game scenes
are so reproduced that a technical
knowledge OF the game is not ueces-
sary. The story is by Chas- L. Van
Loan. one Of the best known fGhe
big league writer's, and the principal
parts are entrusted to Gordon Crit

interesting picture will be at the Al
