mittee is to demonstrate through
moving pictures what is being done
for children and hoW necessary it is-
to improve conditions surrounding
them, and it is she who brought to
Sherman this week the Child Welfare
Picture. "Texas Children vs. Texas
Wealth." Mrs. Sadler complimented
very highly tlie work living done in
reason for welfare work by business
men, as well as a purely humanitarian
purpose. Our fault in social welfare
work is that'we are not patient
enough and center our efforts-in- only
a few promising individual* hi the
lower classes, Instead of working for
the betterment of the entire mass.
Indifference to social betterment is
not far removed from actual effort for
