The only school near the Cotton Mills, Winona, Miss. A private school taught by Miss. McIntosh, who for several years off and on has conducted it, charging each pupil only one dollar a month. With only ten pupils now the job is not very lucrative. She said it was discouraging, but that many seemed to appreciate it. "What we need is compulsory education and a free school out here, which we may get before long." Children range from six to ten years. One of the ten year old boys said, "Only two more years and I'll be in the mill." Little girls added, "Four years more and I'll be there." They all seemed to feel they would get into the mill as soon as possible. Location: Winona, Mississippi

This seven year old boy has been through some of the serverest hardships of war. He was behind the German lines for four years, living on raw beets for months. He was allowed a small piece of bread each day which he voluntarily gave to his mother, who was ill and who subsequently died through maltreatment. The child came all the way from the invaded territory to central France without a relative, arriving at Chateauroux in a terrible condition from malnutrition and neglect. The American Red Cross fed and cared for him, and he is now a normal child and has been adopted by a Y.M.C.A. man. The picture shows him talking to Mrs. Fisher American Red Cross refugee delegate at Chateauroux, to whom credit is due for saving this child. Oct. 1918
