EFFECT ON CHILDREN One of the most unfortunate consequences of the depres sion is now becoming apparent in measurable degree its adverse effect on the health of children. " Not so long ago the country was being assured that public 'health was better than it was in the days before the ques tion of where to get food became a problem for millions of persons. Many doubted these optimistic statements, but 'figures were offered to support them. Now we are being told a different stoiy. The Children's ! Bureau of the Department of Labor finds that one-fifth of the nation's children are "below par," and the depression is directly blamed for this condition. ' Material has been collected over a period of two years, and the conclusion is reached that one child in five of pre-school and school age is suffering from the effects of poor nutri tion, inadequate housing, or lack of medical care. In many instances, anxiety and the feeling of worry, 'where there was no work, have also left marks. Naturally localities where conditions have been more 'favorable and where relief measures have been, adequate .make the best showing. In other localities the proportioh 'of children below par has reached "truly appalling figures.1' (And malnutrition among mothers is. showing its effects on new-borri' infants and hurslings. although relief agencies fo ' ii i a i i j..e.. ' li-; . ! L tme -iuosi pari nave ueen suixessiui in juipiying Buiiicieni, milk' for babies. In New York City, malnutrition among 300,000 school children has been in three successive years 16, 17 and 21 per cent. , The picture is not a pretty one, but consolation may be ; found in the fact that relief agencies did their best .to meet .' staggering responsibilities for which they were unprepared. ; Now that millions of men are returning to work and their ' wages are increasingfewer children will suffer. As relief i rolls shrink, the task of caring for those in need will become ' much easier. The problem of relief will remain for a long . time to come, however, and children should be the last, to . suffer.
