FOR YOUTH OF AMERICAN BLOOD
Care of Neglected Children Involves Large Expendi-
ture-Nation-Wide Campaign Begun to Raise
100000 for Guardian Association.

United support of all religions and
rreeds already has resulted in the
nationwide campaign to raise in this
country an endowment fund of 81 ,000,-
600 for the American Guardian Asso-
citation Of Manila. the annual income,
after investment in this country by a
representative and formally incorpo-
rated trust committee, to be devoted
TO the care and education of neglected
or abandoned children of American
blood in the Philippines.
OF $4,000 such children in the
islands 1000 are on the books of the
association, which was incorporated
in 1921 at the instance ~, of Gov.
Gen. Leonard Wood, as in need of
aid in some degree, and $500 are
listed as desperate cases requiring
prompt action if these boys and girls
are to be saved from the dregs of
vagabondage or immoral exploitation.

Outlining briefly the conditions with
which the association has sought to
deal, Very Rev. Francis Y. A. ByrEe
s. j., president of the Atenso de
Manila, declares: There are thou
sands of children born of American
fathers and Filipino mothers who are
living under the most pitiable condi.
tions. Very often mothers are left to
support these children alone, either
by the death of the father or by
abandonment which is so common in
the Orient. The children inherit the
fathers and native life and conditions
are most difficult for them. There
Is serious scarcity of orphan asy
lums and other institutions for their
care. The Filipino people have not
yet been taught to build and support
such institutions. The burden Of
caring for these children of American
blood has fallen upon the handful of
Americans who constitute the Ameri,
can population.
Burden Proves Too Heavy.
The burden is too great foy them.
The churches have taken hold of the
matter and are giving excellent Serv-
ice. but with the resources at hand
they cannot continue the work, and
II must fail unless America aids. Lit
tie or nothing is being done for the
boys, and they are becoming hotsam
and jetsam.
IF the girls are not taken care of
since they are SO attractive and vet
so poor, they easily become the prey
of evil men. 1t makes one shudder
to think of what the fate of these
children may be unless America helps
