MEALS FOR CHILDREN.
POSITION IN GERMANY. By Telegraph-Press Association-Copyright Berlin, April ,12. Inquiries made by the German Bureau of Popular Welfare show that in 125 German towns in winter 22,000 children, and in summer 36,000, are sent to school breakfostless; 180,000 in winter and 113,000 in summer go to sohool dinnerless, and 22,000 go to bed supperless. This condition of affairs, the Bureau states, is due to poverty, and in ' some cases the absence from the homes of mothors, who have to go out to work. The Bureau deprecates making the feeding of school children obligatory, and advises the establishment of independent organisations, whose duty it shallbe to 'feed tho children and recover tho cost from thoso of the.parents who aro in employment.
