The East Side children are hun-| ery. They are hungry because) their parents are out of work, The only way to put an immediate stop| to their starvation is to give them food. | 34] Of course charity fs no solution | of East Side hunger any more than of any other result of poverty. The remedy to be both effectual and permanent must begin further back in) better economic and social conditions. | When, however, a child is hungry, when a mother faints from hun- ger, there is no time to wait for the long process of readjusting economic conditions and the social order. The immediate need is food. And in meeting that need the Children’s Relief Society is doing a good work. | The principal criticism of this work comes from members of the Board of Education. Mr. Burlingham is quoted as saying that it is al-| most ludicrous, the idea of getting up a movement to feed starving chil-| dren just at the end of the school year. | Is there any mystic influence in the close of the school year that) makes a child who is starving so long as school is open cease to be, hungry as soon as the school doors close? This gentleman and other members of the Board of Education want its field extended so that under the direction of the Board of Educa” | tion regular lunch rooms will be provided in the schools for children. To feed children is none of the Board of Education’s business any | more than to doctor them or to do anything else except to teach them| how to read, write, spell, figure and the elemental truths of the United | States and their plan of government. When the Board of Education has done these few things Ree which it does not do now, then it may ask to be intrusted with some- thing further. The feeding of these school children is a specific thing which can best be done by intelligent private charity. The salaries of a lot of offi- cials for a Board of Education's junch bureau would alone amount to more than the cost of feeding thousands of children, There is plenty of wealth on the East Side, and many charitably disposed people. Kind hearts and open pocketbooks are not the mo- nopoly of Fifth avenue, but rather the reverse. In this relief of the hungry children of the East Side the school teachers, the settlement workers and the Side business men know what should be done and will do it a great deal better than the Board of Education or any ied bureau. | Society begin to supply hungry chil-| Saturday, june 13 1908 By Maurice Ketten.
