Emphasize Nutritional Work The nutritional work among under- nourished children is carried on all the year round at Arden Shore. These are the children who are being forced into industry by the desperate need of their families.

But in many cases the child is so undernourished and physically unfit that the certificate is refused. If such a child stays in his home, in the same environment that produced his disability, he seldom returns to school, he frequently joins a mischievous neighborhood gang and at 16, when he may go to work without a certifi- cate, he is usually more unfit physical- ly and morally than he was at 14.
