ORPHANS ARE HOPE OF THENEAR EAST Oregon Teacher Tells of the 110,000 Children in American Orphanages "Over There" The hope of the entire Near Eat country, according to Mia Margaret Reld, teacher In Jefferson High School of Portland, who recently returned from a term of service In the Near East Relief orphanages In riimian Armenia, li bound up In the 110,000. orphans being fed, clothed, educated and trained for farming and the In duatrlal tradei. Th continuous van which have wapt this unfortunate country since 1914, h gays, have left it devaetated and its people helpless, starving and In d'ipalr before tha staggering task of reconstruction. "They are plodding on as best they esn," says Miss Reld, "but ara cen ts !rg all their hopes for the future o the Armenian and Syrian races up on 110,000 children In the American orphanages who are receiving careful American training. Outside the orph anages there is practically no school ing or training to be had. Every ef fort mutt he directed towards the dif ficult objective of mere physical sur vival. Many 12 year old children can neither r?ad nor write. This is be cause war has swept that country ever alnce 1914. These boya and girls are from well-educated, families, and real izing how handicapped they are, they come to the orphanages and offer to give up part of their food if they can be given schooling. From the desti tute familiee enme mothers In rags and tatters, thin and hollow-eyed from hunger, offering to make any eaertflee It we will only establish schools for their children. In all the orph anages the children are being taught to read, write and fisure In their own language'. The older and brighter chil dren receive Instruction in geography, history and English. Because bread la needed so much more than education, we cannot afford a sufficient number of teachers to teach personally all the children, so pur few teachers give their extra time to the bright pupils, who are able, in a short time, to sr- as teachers- for the others. These chil dren are marvelouely industrious. Practically all the work of my orph anage was carried on by the children, who did all the cleaning, sewing, conk ing and laundry work, also helping in the hospital work and clinical treat-, ments. They realise that every penny of I American money must go for their sup port and to help other children keep alive, so the boys of our orphanage, when they wanted a swimming pool, dug the hole themselves and then went without supper twice a week for many weeks In order to buy the cement and the labor of the workmen to finish It. "When the little refugee children come into our orphanages they are always In a most pitiable condition dirty, covered with vermin, clad only In filthy rags, and many of them af flicted with scabies, trachoma and oth er diseases resulting from starvation, exposure and lack of care. The first task is to clean the child thoroughly, shave Its head, and treat the eyes and cables sores. Next comes a system of careful feeding, lest the food prove fatal to the famished and emaciated little bodies. In about two weeks the little waifs are able to run about, but It takes a year or more to make them over Into normal, wholesome children. Their Joy Ind happiness in the para dise of an American orphanage is, the thing that makes It possible for an American worker to endure the sights that must be seen on the outside of the orphanage walls every day. But happy aa they are, these little ones never seem to forget the awful things they have been through. We had ona little boy named John, four years old, who for weeks after being admitted, would steal the ahoee of the other boys, their books,- food from the kitchen, every thing. Thtt was because the only wtv he had of keeping alive all his life, had been by stealing. Another boy of eli year would sit by the door, for days after he came, with hit hands out begging for food, despite the fact that ha was receiving threa meals a day. It hard to make him understand that he still did not have to beg for food. A four-year-old boy who bad pent the previous winter begging In a ruined village and sleeping at night among the sheep, had a perfect horror ef being tent away from the orphan age. One day he recognized two women rlsitort who came from the ruined vil lage where ha had begged wheit scarce ly more than a baby, and he ran to me sobbing and In terror, pleading with me not to let them take him away. The boy who ran my errands a 12 years old, as Armenian. He had teen hit entire family killed before hit eyet In a Turkish massacre. Hiding among the ruins, he escaped massaere, but next day waa found by tome Arabt, who took him Into tht desert and made Mm their alar far twa sstta. Tfcc DANTE'S INFERNO OUTDONE IN ARMENIA Wails of Starving Children As sail the Ears of Relief Workers at Erivan. The tragic progression of famine condition In Armenia Is strikingly shown in the personal reports brought back by State Director J. J. Hand taker of the Near Kaet Relief when he visited that section lent August, and In the letters that have been received at Intervals since. I "When I was there in the late sum mer," said Mr. Handsaker, "The con I ditions were truly appalling,- despite the fact that the orphanages were fill ed to their utmost capacity and every thing possible was being done. I my self selected a little naked girl with nineteen others from among hundreds I of starving children to fill the only , possible vacancies in the orphansgs at Erivan at that time. Hrwevsr, the weather was warm, and the refugees could manage in some way to keep alive. Reports from Erivan (n late September told of the coming of the cold weather, and how the reserves were drawn upon for the opening of additional soup-kitchens. Starving men women and children from all see tions were flocking desperately tc the Near East Relief station! In the hope of getting work, food and clothing. Two months later, tinder date of Nov. 29, we have news of the frightful situ ation that followed. This news came to Dr. Either Lovejoy, of Portland, Oregon, who is national chairman of the American Women's Hospitals, from Dr. Mabel Elliott, In charge of the American Women's Hospitals in the Near East section. This organ ization la co-operating with the Near East Relief, and is handling the med ical work of the latter at Erivan. Be low Is an excerpt from Dr. Mabel Elliott's letter to Dr. Lovejoy: "I cannot begin to tell you, doctor, of the mieery here In spite of the dhor moui amount of work being done. Since I have been here S52 is the low est number of cases we have had in our hospital! at any ona time, and yet they are dying on all corners of the city. Last Sunday ws went out on horseback to lee how thing were beyond the town; we pawed a dead horse by the side of the road, and three wretched human beings were sitting beside it, .taking the flesh oft with their hends. It was a most re pulsive sight. "All day long you can hear the groans and walls of little children out- side our building In hopes we can and will pick them up, If the sun shtns for a little while they quiet down, and then when It rains they begin again. One day the rain turned into snow and it was awful to listen to them. The note of terror that came into the general wail was distinctly perceptible, although my rooi was upstairs and the window was closed. They well know what a single night out in the snow would mean to them. We are picking them up as fast as possible. "You can see by my report how many more patients we have than beds, and the same holds good In the orph anages. There Is no use crowding the.n in so that they will all die." no was rencuea oy me English and brought to our orphanage. "The personal history of each llttif orphan It a tragedy In Itself and no one but those In close touch with these little ones can know their deep graft tude and reverence for anything Amer lean. This gratitude and reverence it universal throughout all that land of lorrow, where the helping hand of America, through the Near East Re lief, ha saved hundreds of thousand! from death by starvation and today offers the only hope for the survival and rehabilitation of these tragically atrleken races."
