Hope to Find
EUery Cripple
in Pine COUNTY,

To successfully help the cripple
child it is first necessary to locate
and ascertain the condition of every
cripple in Pine and all other coun-
ties. Following the campaign of the
Minnesota Association for Crippled
Children to raise $4,000 by dollar
subscriptions throughout the state, an
effort will be made to locate the
10000 cripples estimated by statistic
ians to be in Minnesota.
Minnesota has had three epidemics
of infantile paralysis since 1916. Each
epidemic has left 700 to 900 crippled
children in its wake. Not only are
the victims of the infantile paralysis
to be considered in this survey, but
also the children crippled from tuber-
culosis of the bone, spinal curvature,
spastic paralysis, and ricketts,.
When the cripples have been located
in the counties, it will be possible to
needs, which will determine the
work of the cripple, his
social problem, and other data per-
tinent to the proper handling of the
crippled child.
At present the crippled child is
treated chiefly for his physical handi
cap. In the future it is planned that
he be treated from the social angle.
When the survey of location has been
completed, the Minnesota Association
for Crippled Children will then aid in
securing proper treatment for every
cripple and help in obtaining state aid
through the law in Minnesota, which
provides $3.50 annually for the edu-
cation of the crippled child.
