KNOWN
YOUNG WOMAN
CONDUCTS NOT
ABLE EXPERIMENT
Miss Katharine Pritchett Com
bats Evils of Malnutrition
Among Children

Under the title Giving the
Child a Chance" the result of an
experiment in combating malnu-
triton, conducted under the sup
ervision of Katharine A. Pritchett,
has just issued from the press.
Special interest attaches to this
publication from the fact that
Miss Pritchett is well-known in
Newark. She is niece of Mrs.
E. K. Butler and for several years
spent her summers in this vicinity.
She is now Supervisor OF Nutri-
tion for the State of Pennsylvania.
The experiment recorded was
conducted under the auspices of
the Federation for Child Study
and the Society for Ethical Cul-
ture. It is described in the fore
word as successful bringing to-
gether of undernourished hildren
and nourishing foods in the heat
and dust of a New York city
summer. 1000 school children
were selected from congested dis
tricts ,all suffering from malnutri
tion and coming from homes
where few pennies ore or less
spent for food presented serious
problem. At five Health Play
Schools in Greater New York from
July 7 to August 81, 1919, the
selected group was fed bone and
muscle-making lunches at a cost
of ten cents per lunch.
The pamphlet tells with cold
facts and entertaining anecdotes,
the difficulties and the triumphs
in handling a group composed of
five or six different nationalities
whose racial prejudices and reli-
gious customs made uniformity of

WASTED SWEETNESS.
