MARYLAND CHILDREN'S AID
SOCIETY

Thousands of residents of Balti-
more and Washington journeying to
one of the well-known shore resorts
of Maryland during the past few
years have noticed certain crippled
colored boy sitting disconsolateiy
near the road with his crutches by
his side. Many have thrown him
money, kind word or friendly nod
and some few may have stopped to
question him and then passed on
without knowing how to make effec-
tive their very real desire to help
him. Last summer, however, he at
tracted the attention of Baltimore
Social Worker who on her return to
the city referred his case to the
Maryland Children's Aid Society.
1t was learned that Robert, IA
years old, was dependant largely on
the charity of kindly colored
woman not related to him, who had
taken him to board six years before
when his legs were so badly twisted
and misshapen by infantile paralysis
was to seize his ankles with his
hands and roll over on the ground.
Mary x made his first pair of crutch-
es with her own hands and with in
finite patience taught him to use
them. She could not, however, do
anything to lesson the extent of his
physical deformity and so Robert
was compelled to sit idly by the side
of the road, his only interest the con-
slant stream of passing automobiles
containing the healthy, kindly pros
porous vacationists whose ignorance
of case-work methods and the social
and medical resources of the State
prevented them from helping him eff
fectively.
The trained workers of the Mary
land Children's Aid Society, however,
knew how to overcome the fear that
Mary x and the boy had OF the
dreaded word operation: to locate
the mother living outside the state
and secure her formal consent to the
administration of anaesthetics; to
arrange for Roberts admission to
Johns Hopkins Hospital; to maintain
him in boarding home for many
weeks following the operation while
his legs remained in plaster cast;
to interest the Guild for Crippled
Children in paying for his braces and
finally when Robert was able to
stand alone and take few faltering
steps without his crutches to return
him to his friends in the country,
where he is now learning the walk
about unaided.
The Society needs the help of all
the members of our community who
are able and willing to help those
who cannot help themselves in rails
ing the $4,000 needed to pay the cost
of its services to children in the
counties of Maryland and during the
current year.

Dear Home Folks,
Dan and / are boarding the l Ping,
bound for Chungking, this eve. We
are supposed to sail at daybreak.
We will of course let you know
from Hankow, and all along the line
how we are getting along, but OF
course you must remember that mail
will now be reaching you more and
more slowly, land it may be detained
We are really not looking for any
trouble enroute.
One Canadian wanted to go with
us, but the boat would not accept
him because he was British. They
feared there may be an anti-British
boycott.
1 told you many did not approve
of our going. Now l think most
people do, mean our fellow mis-
sionaries. If we get through safely
of course others will follow soon.
Very lovingly,
