STARVING CHILDREN
Life In Crude Bush Camp (N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) PERTH, June 20. Three white children—undernourished to the extent of being “mere skin and bone”—have been brought 150 miles from a crude bush camp to an institution at Geraldton, 306 miles north of Perth.
The children are boys aged five and two years and a girl aged 12 months. The elder boy could not speak understandably and his legs were no thicker than an adult’s two fingers. The younger girl was the size of a two-month-old baby. It was stated that the children showed no trace of maltreatment. The parents readily agreed with a child welfare officer that the children should enter an institution because they could not care for them properly.
All that is beautiful and good in your individual consciousness is permanent.— Mary Baker Eddy.
