and our Allies have paid and are still
paying fearful penalty. It. ought not
to be conceivable that we should repeat
the mistake. Because of our unprepar-
edness, we had to mark time in inaction
for year. after nominally entering the
war, saved from ruin only by the ability
of our allies to hold on until we were
ready. But when peace comes, there will
be no such holding up and waiting. The
nation that is not ready will be left be-
hind.

REGISTERING OF
SOCIAL SERVICE CASES
is OF GREAT VALUE

Kansas City, Mo-, May 18.-During
a discussion on the subject Of the
prevention Of duplication. Of social
service at this mornings session of
work. Robert c. Dexter, general Sec
rotary OF the Montreal Charity Or
gaRization society, said that the value
Of having every agency register its
cases was multiplied in Canada when
the various war relief efforts began
operations. He said:
THE value to a social agency which
keeps adequate records OF the regis-
tration in the confidential exchange
of agencies which do not, has been
strikingly exemplified the last three
years in Montreal in some Of the war
relief activities. Some of these keep
more or less complete records. but
none nearly as complete as the typical
social case history. Some Of the gov
ernmental agenciea for example. are
only required to obtain certain jnfor-
nation and very rarely go beyond
that; others are entirely voluntary
agencies, with unframed visitors, who
are not in a position to get complete
case histories. In our exchange, we
have. however, had registrations from
both types Of agencies and we have
found the Canadian patriotic fund
or the board Of pension commission
ers that. at least, some one in the or
g~anization very probably knew q good
We also knew. which was OF ever
fs'eater Importance, that at some
tame a member Of that family had
been in the C. E., F. II It was a. pen
sion board case the agency referring
to the exchange could Immediately
find out the financial income from

MANY CHILDREN
SUFFER FROM
UNDER-FEEDING

Kansas City, Mo, May 1S.-Slow
starvation is threatening American
school children in poor neighbour
hoods affected by the food shortage
and high prices, Michael Davis. Jr..
director of the Boston d~ispensary.
nutrition of School Children" today
told the national conference of social
work at Kansas City. He appealed to
social workers to meet and overcome
the new evil.
.Under-nutrition," meaning that
children suffering from it do not get
enough to eat, was the term used by
Director Davis in contra-distinction to
the term "malnutrition" used by
physical condition resulting from in
a ability properly to digest food or the
use of improper or poorly prepared
foods. q.
The effects of "under-nutrition,'
according to Mr.. Davis, are not usual
ly Immediately apparent and are,
therefore i~nsidiously harmful. the
damage being already done when the
results become noticeable. He report
ed hat numerous cases of under.nu-
triton have beer observed in children
of poor families in Boston and else
where and predicted that they will
become increasingly apparent this
summer. 4-
Young babies areenot so frequently
Laffected, he said. because only under
the most extreme conditions will the
milk supply become limited, but chill
dren who have passed the milk age
are in real danger. Fra
The war has added many reasons
to the need for attacking the problem
Of slow starvation. according to Mr..
Davis, who said the cutting off of
american lives at top makes it doub-
ly necessary to increase efforts to
conserve them at the bottom. He is-
sued a call to the social workers at
the conference to join with the ma
tional child conservation program of
the children's bureau, and with a ma
tional committee of pediatricians. tn
