fered the education of number of Ser bian children"
 At one of the colleges where scholar ships were offered" Dr. Morton said, an amusing instance occurred when the boys said: Please send us two Serbian boys between the ages of and so that when they grow up they'll be good football players, and we can have them on the teamr
 "The U. D. C., D. A.. R., r. W. c. A. and many other organizations have gladly taken over the care of a number of Ser bian children many colleges have of fered scholarships, but the expense of travel. amounting to s250 each to bring a Serbian to America and the same to re- turn, must be given by others. Clothing also must be provided
 "All this is very gratifying, and I feel amply repaid for my work and my ex- penses, for am doing all this on my own hook, defraying all my expenses, and have given up my practice in New York and expect to do so until I go over to Serbia in May and return in the autumn Then l must get back to my own work, of course; but in the meantime Dr. French of Rollins college has offered dur ing his vacation to receive funds for the Serbian work, and we have opened an office at No. 156 Fifth avenue, New York city, under the general educational com- mittee, where all inquiries and communi- cations will receive prompt attention.
 "Now," said Dr. Morton, when I go to Serbia in May, I want to take not only money, but supplies. I would like to take 10 dental outfits complete; I would like to take medicine equipment; would like to take boxes of canned goods, cloth ing. The Serbian minister has arranged to have all this transported for us; I would like to take the message that America as token of love and appre- citation of what Serbia did during the war
 is willing to educate and fit for future citizenship thousands of the orphans in that devastated country.
 Tt only costs 20 cents a day." pr. Mor- ton said, "to take care of a little child there. This makes s72 year, half of this amount is required for the French or phans-10 cents a day-but the French government supplies the other 10 cents. making 20 cents. which the Serbian gov ernment isn't able to do
 There are 100000 Serbian children to be cared for, to be educated and to be fed and clothed, so that they may re- build the devastated territory of their lands" Dr. Morton said, "and Amer jeans must help. We want to establish a Birmingham unit, as we have units all over the south. I have met with fine CO., operation here. Mrs. Thomas w. Palmer, wife of pr. Palmer, president of the Ala bama Girls Technical school at Monte vallo, offered education for two Serbian girls after my talk before the Red Cross saying she would take one of them into her own home for two years as a mem- Der of her family. At the Y. W. c. A., when I spoke there, within one minute $S had been raised. That means a splen- did spirit on the part of those fine young women of that association
 "This is only the beginning" said Dr. Morton, "and let me say that beautiful tribute that America could make to Ser bia, for holding the Germans back and being the prime factors in sending our many, many splendid young American soldiers back home well and strong, would be for every American parent whose boy has returned from the war to make a thanksgiving offering of so many dollars-then the 100000 Serbian children now in dire need and distress would be provided for and their future assured!"
