There is almost a complete lack of the nourishing foods growing children need, of clothing, of doctors, nurses and medical supplies. 'The condition of the children is pitiable in the extreme. Upon this coming generation depends largely whether these nations will be healthy and right-minded or a hot -bed of anarchy and degeneracy—a menace to the world. It has been found by experience that the cost of caring for a waif child is approximately three dollars per month; that of the supplies that are required by imports about one dollar is needed; and therefore the dollar that we provide, together with the local support of local governments, locate munici- palities, local charities and local services practically preserves the life of one child.
