body, m ind and soul; to be protected
from disease, from evil influences,
and evil persons, and to have a fair
chance in life.
"E very child has th e rig h t to be
su rro u n d e d by th a t enviro n m en t in

bis abilities and his talents.
“T he child is th e asset of th e sta te ;

I Am th e Baby.
I am the youngest in stitu tio n in
the w orld— and the oldest.
T he e a rth is my h eritag e when I
come into being, and when I go I
leave it to th e next g eneration of
babies.
My m ission is to leave th e e a rth a
b e tte r place th an when I found it.
W ith my m illion little b ro th ers and
sisters I can do this, if th e world
does not Impose too m any handicaps.
Now I need pure m ilk and fresh a ir
and play.
W hen I am a little o ld e r I shall
need good schools in which to learn
th e lessons of life.
I w ant to live, laugh, love, work
play.
I w ant to h e a r good m usic, read
good books, see beautiful pictures
I w ant to build houses and roads
and railro a d s and cities.
I w ant to w alk in th e woods, bathe
in th e w aters, and play in the snow.
I am Y esterday, Today, and To­
m orrow .
If you will m ake my way easy now,
I will help you when I grow up
I am your hope— I am th e Baby.
