Child Welfare Society to
Make Effort to Complete
100000 Endowment.

The physical condition Of thousa nds
of Washington children each year is
improved by the educational aad cura-
tive methods employed at the Child
Welfare Society centers at Children 8
Hospital. for the support Of which a
rummage sale and tea room will be
conducted for seven days. beginning
Wednesday, at 1915 F street.
With the slogan. Keep the Well
Child Well" ever before II the society
seeks not only to cure an ailing or
i'll child. but to protect the health of
normal children by maintaining a
strict surveillance over their weight.
height and other indicative tendencies,
and by the education Of mothers as
to the proper care of their children
at home. Nutrition classes are con-
Quoted and in these especial atten-
ton is paid to the proper feeding of
the little bodies. Often serious dis
ease is discovered and it's progress
halted in the youngsters In this class.
In some cases the undeveloped malady
is Of such a nature that the child Ia
entered in the hospital and there
treated until the ailment is arrested
and removed to assure him Of a
healthy adulthood.
Example Of Effort.
One Of the best examples Of the
work In this direction is found In a
12.year-old boy who is now only a
half pound under weight. whereas he
had been p pounds below norma.
He is still under the care Of the 60
ciety and every indication IL that In
a very short time he will return to
the weight a growing hoy should have.
The lad was q member ot the nu-
triton class. where an effort was be-
Inc made to increase his weight of
s412 pounds. Shortly after entering
the class, he developed an acuN CON
dition Of the chest, which was mime
diately discovered by the attending
physicians. who examined him care
fully each day. An X-ray photo
graph WAS made and the diagnosis
was tuberculosis. In two days the
boy wDe in a state Of exhaustion and
his temperature was ahnormally
high. and in the Meantime his
weight dropped to II pounds. I'm
mediately he was placed in the hos
pital where he was kept in bed for
nearly three weeks. At the end of
that time. during which he received
the excellent treatment his case de-
handed, his tempera ture was normal
and he was transferred to the camp
on Upshur street, where he remained
until II closed.
At the camp the little patients
found their improvement placed on
competitive basis, as prizes were
awarded to the youngsters making
the most rapid physical gains. and SC
they were given pleasant incentive
to comply with the instructions of
their doctors and nurses. The 12-
year-old boy, in whom tuberculosis
was discovered in it's early stage,
won first prize for the best gain in
weight during the time he was there.

The lad was then placed in the fresh
air class. where he will remain this
year, and his weight is 9s1a pounds
less than a pound below the normal
80 for his height. The 81 II pound
gain was made. too, within period
of three months.
Seeks 500. 900 Endowment.
The society will maintain it's vigi-
lance over this hoy until he is as
sured Of an equal. chance at healthy
ma anhood with the thousands of other
lads his age. His photograph Ia in

SPEECH / | E BYrFLURY
! IS UNCHALLENCED
School Officials Take No
! Cognizance OF Tribute
[ to Eugene Debs.

Adhering 10 their announced policy
Of not interfering with the private
political and religious views Of teach
ers, unless they are preached in the
Classroom, neither the Board of Edu
cation nor Dr.. Frank W. Ballou, su
perintendent of schools. had taken Of
fetal cognizance today of Prof
Henry FURY eulogy of the late Eu
gene V. Debs, Socialist leader. at a
memorial in the Masonic Temple yes
terday.
Mr. Flury is professor of biology at
Eastern High School. and came into
public notice recently when he was
attacked by Maj Gen. Amos A.
Fries, chief Of the division of chem
ical warfare. and District comma nder
of the American Legion. for publish
ing a friendly Interpretation OF so
cialism in the Forum magazine. The
Board of Education's policy Of non
Interference was expounded as a re-
suit Of that case.
Called From Audience.
Mr. Flury was not listed as a
speaker AT the memorial service for
Mr. Debs. who died a few weeks ago.
He was noticed in the audience, how
ever informed that he would he called
on and wrote down his remarks while
other speakers occupied the platform
He prefaced his remarks by declaring
that he spoke as citizen and tax
payer" His speech follows:
Il pay tribute to Debs as an edu-
GATOR Of the working class. Of the
lowlv. those who toll. those who
dream and those whose dreams are
unfulflledx those whom Jesus Of
Nazareth came TO save. those whom
the church has forgotten.
Whether Debs was right or wrong
IN his proposal of new social philoso-
ply. time alone will tell-but that he
was right in trying 10 soften racial
preiudices. that he advocated self
sacrifice for the welfare Of all, that he
dreamed of a world in which the class
struggle no longer existed. in which
there was a. struggle or war Of ideas,
as Njetzsche suggests-not a struggle
for profits which is the foundation OF
modern warfare" he said.
Dignity of Labor.
we teachers, in theory. teach the
dignity Of labor in the class room; In
practice many of us are snohs. Debs
taught la Dor a new dignity--a real
same class as James Whitcomb Riley
He loved little children and wanted to
take them out of the mines and fac
tories and put them in school. He
was an inveterate foe of child labor
Fanatics like Henry Ford would sep
arate the workers by tanning the
flames of race hatred. Debs would
unite them by softening race hatred. "
