Mrs. Roosevelt Notes Hospital
Problem in Defense Centers

to make it possible for people to live
in community, you must provide
for their children's schooling. You
do have to see to it that the State or
the community takes the responsible
ity for running these schools. The
same difficulty exists in many cases
where medical care is needed. and
in these places hospitals must be
provided
We must try to make everyone
realize that what We do now must be
done with an eye to the future and
always with an eye to the well-being
Of the people who are going to do
the work essential to our defense.
We have no right TO ask them %
sacrifice their home life and to live
in a way not compatible with our
ways"
