Supt. and overseers with the "Relief Crowd," in Yazoo City (Miss.) Yarn Mills. The Supt. said, "We relieve all children under sixteen for two hours a day except the doffers, who get plenty of time off. They go out and play." Then turning to the children he said, "Now play." They eyed him blankly, "Play wot?" "Oh, play anything." Before they could do it, however, he had to pose them himself (see photo 2106) which was especially posed for the occasion. In this photo, note the disparity between the (alleged) ages of the younger ones who said that they were twelve and thirteen, and the older ones, who said fifteen years old. Location: Yazoo City, Mississippi.

The "Kinleygarten" (the mill policeman called it) at Lynchburg (Virginia) Cotton Mills. The children of the mill settlement, from 6 to 8 years attend. Several older boys (see exterior photo, 2169) were hanging around and joining in when they could. Also a mother and babe. I asked Miss Carrington, in charge, where the children from 8 to 14 go, and she said that few of them at those ages care for education. They are just waiting to become old enough to get into the mill. The only available school for them is a long way off. Lynchburg, Virginia

"Dinner-Toters" waiting for the gate to open. This is carried on more in Columbus than in any other city I know, and by smaller children. (See photos.) Many of them are paid by the week for doing it, and carry, sometimes, ten or more a day. They go around in the mill, often help tend to machines, which often run at noon, and so learn the work. A teacher told me the mothers expect the children to learn this way, long before they are of proper age. (See also Vaughn's Georgia Report, April, 1913.) Eagle and Phoenix Mill.

Photo of Ordinary's Certificate for Bronson Beers, 9 years old, (and therefore illegal). The Deputy Clerk told me "That was likely a clerical error." but I found five of these "errors" issued to children under 10 years old, one for child aged 8. (The latter was later marked 'Void' but none of the rest were.[)] Rolly's teacher told me the family had moved, but that the boy was a mere baby with a lisp. The issuing of the certificates is very unbusinesslike. (See Vaughn's report, Georgia, 1913.) The Ordinary said, "I'm a practical Man! The cotton mill people are the poorest paid workers in the country. They have to put their children into the mills." Location: Columbus, Georgia.

A group of children at a District School in cotton picking season. Petty's Chapel District School #20, near Corsicana. Only 40 per cent of the children who attend are here because the cotton is still being picked, in most districts the school term is being shortened to accommodate the picking. The children are above the average of country school children and this is an exceptional school, only two of the ten families represented here being "Renters" (see Hine Report on Texas). These children are getting 8 months school. Most of the rural schools in Texas give them 6 months or less. All these children, from the 5 year old up pick cotton. Location: Corsicana [vicinity], Texas.

An AMERICAN RED CROSS worker teaching games to the children in the Garden of the Convent du Sacre Coeur, near Paris. Before the war the sisters cared for 30 girls from poor families of the neighborhood, teaching them house work etc. to enable them to earn a living. When war came, the sisters offered half their convent for a 50 bed hospital for soldiers, taking the children into their own inadequate quarters to make room and nursing the soldiers themselves. They were unable to raise enough money to continue the work until they appealed to the AMERICAN RED CROSS which now contributes the supplies needed, clothing, sheets, etc

Trudeau Sanitarium, Hachette. Twenty minutes for refreshments. The children stop their play for the afternoon bowl of milk in the grounds of Trudeau Sanitarium at Hachette, near Paris. The manor house of Hachette is an AMERICAN RED CROSS hospital for tubercular women. In the grounds nearby barracks have been built where about 180 children are housed, each for a period of three months or more. They are under-nourished children of tubercular tendencies, many of whom have tubercular parents. They are brought from bad living conditions in the cities and the good nourishment and outdoor life at Hachette go far to establish their health permanently

Destitute and ragged children waiting for clothing at the American Red Cross Relief Station in Jassy. Every child was thoroughly bathed and scrubbed before getting any fresh clothes.

Captain Daniel J. McCarthy and Miss Rosana Pierce, of the American Mission, are standing in the doorway

Economy on Roumania is practiced by the women of the country to an alarming degree. So prohibitive, for example are the prices of clothes that they are far beyond the means of the poor. To save what few clothes the members of their families possess the children are sometimes sent out nude in the summer weather. In this way their mothers expect to save them warm garments for the winter months. A report sent to the Paris headquarters of the American Red Cross from Roumania representatives state that naked children are common sights in the streets of Bucharest. Several trainloads of clothing were sent out to better the condition of these people, who but for the aid of the Red Cross would be compelled to face the coming winter with little protection from exposure

At Belgian Orphanage. In spite of the hardships that they have undergone during the past few years and the pleasures, as well as the necessities of life that have been denied them, these hapless victims of war in Belgium still like to play all the games that happier and more fortunate children play.

"Orphan Annie" and her brother. American relief workers called her "Orphan Annie" because she was so kind and good to all the other orphans. This kind faced girl in the picture came to the Lost Princess Hospital in Bucharest, which is being aided by the Jr. Red Cross and applied for medical attention for her baby brother. The child was so crippled from mal-nutrition that he had lost the use of his legs and she had tried to carry him down from their mountain home.
