THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS lawrence November 5, 1941, Dear Fellow Teacher: This folder, Save the Under Fives For a Better World Tomorrow, is significant enough to need no elaboration. You doubtless heard the Honorable Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansas, and Save the Children Federation Chairman for British Child Aid, speal in Hoch Auditoriun. He made an eloquent plea for these British unfortunates, and I am merely passing along to you this printed matter. I am also sending a blank for the Jayhawk Nursery Shelter for British Children. Please make your check payable to "Save the Chidren Federation". I am sure that you feel as if you have been driven to death with drives, since we have had drives, drives,” and more drives. In the donation of your gift will you please forget the solicitor and think of the words uttered by the Great Nazarene, who said, "Inasmuch as ye do it unto the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto Me." Save the Under Fives for & Better World Tomorrow! Help open more nurseriesé Will you please send back by University mail at your earliest convenience a blank duly filled out for the money you care to give? I know you are growing tired of receiving letters from me, but, in my own behalf, I might say that it has not been much fun for me either, unless I think of the great amount of good that ean be done with your gifts «- that is my compensation! Sincerely yours, Director of Physical B Varsity Basketball ation and Recreation, Baseball Coachs NOT FORGETTING CHILD NEEDS AT HOME VOICES FROM THE MOUNTAINS "Without SCF help there are children here who could not possibly come to school because of no clothes and they would have no lunch either.

The Board of Educa- tion sponsors both the NYA and SCF of Watauga county; it is a pleasure to have the two agencies working in coopera- tion for the school children." —CLARE P.

Report from worker tells a tragic story: "The work in our county has been of great aid in the at- tendance of the pupils, besides serving as a great act of human kindness in providing warm clothing for children who have to walk a long distance to school," “IT have never before seen such a place in which to hold a school. It wasn’t as good as our worst chicken houses. The little shack was old and drab. There wasn’t a desk or table on which the chil- dren could write and not enough rough board benches for all of the children. Only the cheerfulness of the children kept me from de- : jection”.

CONSTRUCTIVE ENDEAVOR OVERSEAS In England the SCF is giving supplemental aid to 10,000 children and seeking support for 100 residential nurseries in the country — of which 10 are now opened. aif This is what a child draws when first evacuated from a bombed city district and the memory of the horror is apparently indelible —a world of violence and engines of destruction. Hon. Henry J. Allen, former Governor of Kansas and Chair- man of the Federation’s Com- mittee for British Child Aid, visits wartime play center for blitzed children and sees the Before and After practical demonstrations reproduced for you on this page. What the SCF is doing over- seas is not merely emergency relief but constructive serv- ice to children. The SCF works in England through its sister organiza- tion, the Save the Children Fund. For work in other coun- tries, it is the supporting American member of the Save the Children Interna- tional Union, Geneva, Switz- erland. The effect of taking city chil- a dren out of the welter of war =. es di | wo to a pleasant rural home ren bef Cp where with others they have opportunity for normal play, is amazing. Here is a specimen of a child's drawing after a restor- ative period of play at a cen- ter in the country away from war and the screeching of bombs—trees, flowers, birds, Peace! 2 “2 ; > ene OF ty ha ul SAVE THE CHILDREN FEDERATION © ONE MADISON AVENUE ® NEW YORK Long Barn Nursery, at Seven Oaks, Kent, the home of the Hon. and Mrs. Harold Nicholson (Victoria Sackville West).

Not less than 100 homes in England and Scotland, for children under five, evacuated from districts threatened by bombing, are urgently needed.
