siderable degree certain qualities that
I prize In any citizen tho qualities of
nerve, hardihood, of capacity, to obey
and obey like that slapping his hands
together!, and the cnpaclty to take

when necessary. I would give nothing
for the man who cannot obey when If

children in Chicago fivqitfiiily Bent to
school bmikfnstlers, while 10.0(H) oth

do with these children lt now the prob
lem that confronts the city. The Hoard
of KdticHtion says that It ennitot le
gally furnish food, hut In willing to
u-ovlde iiM)iiiN anil equipment to en
able any phllunlhrople person, or or-
gnnlwitlon, to relieve the distress. Many
are oppoxed to the Ideti of giving free
meals to children nt miiool, believing
Ihnt the proper course is to enter the
homes of tho jieople where destitution
exists utitl relieve It there. They urge
the nrguineiit that If the child who at
tends school is underfi ll the snmo con

serious, one, inul calls for quick solu

Some of (he conditions! found by the
Invetdlgntlng committee were most
pitiable. Hundreds of mothers, the re

order that their children may have
something to eot next niorulng. This
