" A-8 g CHILDREN VIGTIMS IS ON R e e One-Fifth Have Definite Injury in Hard Times., «#¥ By the Associated Press. One-fifth of the children of the United States have suffered definite in- Jury to their health during the depres- slon years, it is estimated by the Chil- dren's Bureau, Department of Labor, as @ result of a recent survey. Insufficient food or the wrong kind of it, poor housing conditions, lack of medical care and in many cases “the effect of the anxiety and the sense of insecurity that prevails wherever there is no work” all have contributed to the slump in child i alth found by the bureau, says the report. Both. pre- school children and those of school age have suffered, it is indicated by the survey which is not complete but sufi- ciently wide in scope to justify the con- clusions drawn from it. “The sum of the evidence at hand,” says the bureau, “points to the fact that the nutritional condition of chil- dren in many communities is showing increasingly serious effects of the long periods of unemployment and want. Needs Are Outstanding. “3triking corroboration of this was given at the recent Conference of State and Provincial Health Authorities of North America when replied to a ques- tionnaire showed that 22 of the 29 State health officers considered the nutri- tional needs of children as the needs outstanding above all others.” Malnutrition in New York City jumped from 16 per cent in 1930 to 21 per cent in 1932 among 300,000 school children examined annually since 1927, the report said. From 1927 to 1929 malnutrition was only 13 per cent. It rose to 16 per cent in 1930. The tests wereb made by the city health depart- ment. In Detroit a health department re- port showed that 18 per cent of the children in 18 schools selected for a “hunger survey” were not receiving enough to eat. Another report from the same city showed 11 per gent of mal- nutrition among 1,140 school children tested and 7 per cent additional under weight for height. Of those who were malnourished, 60 cent were anemic. At least one-third of the malnutrition was due to depression conditions, the Detroit investigators reported. Increase in Malnutrition. A 29 per cent increase in malnutri- tion among school children of Spring- field, Ohio, was reported for the school year 1931-32, as compared with 1928 and previous years. Among children under 6 examined At a Jewish community hedlth center |n Philadelphia, malnutrition rose from 11 per cent in the period 1928-1930 to 23 per cent in 1932. Malnutrition among plder children of school age examined at the same center rose from an aver- age of 30 per cent from 1928-1930 to 42 per cent in 1932. From half to 90 per cent of 2381 thildren examined in schools of some poal-mining regions in two States in 1931 were 10 per cent or more under Weight, according to reports ®f the American Friends Service Committee. Undernourishment Appears. The Maryland State Health Depart- ent reports that in mill towns of the tate, “despite all our efforts to put ilk and eggs and some méat into the amilies, especially where there are hildren, we have not succeeded in pre- venting a considerable appearance of malnutrition, as evidenced by loss of Weight, loss of color and loss of general Suffered | several localities in BUDDHISM IS CALLED RELIGION WITHOUT GOD Harvard Professor, East Indian Editor and Bishop McConnell Address Institute.
