FfcW ORPHANS FOUND TO BE UNDERWEIGHT * Comparison With School Children Shows Value of Proper Care. MANY SHOW GAINS Less than 15 per cent of the children at the Indianapolis Orphans’ Home, 4107 East Washington street, are underweight, while more than 30 per cent of the school children generally of the city are underweight, according to announcement today from the Marion County Tuberculosis Association. Nutrition workers for the association have Just reported on records of orphan children, whom they weighed during the Christmas holidays. Careful attention to feeding and the use of such scientific builders of health as milk lunches in addition to regular meals, proper sleeping hours, etc., are given as the probable reasons for the better record of the children in the orphan’s home, according to officials of the tuberculosis association. For more than two years the children in the orphans’ home have been receiving milk lunches, according to Mary A. Meyers, executive secretary of the tuberculosis association. About twenty children, out of 140 living in the home, were found

to be 7 per cent or more underweight, Miss Meyers said. MANY FOUND UNDERNOURISHED. In a recent investigation in several city schools, in which 600 children were weighed, it was found the average amount of undernourishment among the school children was more than 30 per cent. The tuberculosis association officials said today they would start a nutrition class at once in the orphans' home in an effort to eradicate the small percentage of undernourishment found there. Records of gains made in the nutrition classes at various public schools over the Christmas holidays also were made public. The best record in the city was made by classes at St. Bridget’s school. In the first class no losses in weight were recorded during tho vacation period and the average gain in weight for the children was twenty-one ounces. In the second class at school but one loss in weight was reported, while the children registered an average gain of fourtwn ounces. The greatest gain made at the school was Anna McMahan, who gained three and one-quarter pounds during the holiday period. rUPILS MAKE FINE RECORDS. Splendid records were made by children in the classes at the Harrison school, Delaware street and Ft. Wayne avenue. The average gain of the children in these classes was eighteen ounces during a three weeks’ period. During this period George Powell made the greatest gain, five pounds. Correction of a situation in which young Powell had been remaining out of bed until late hours each night was responsible for his phenomenal gain, according to nutrition workers. At School 66, Broadway and Maple

road, an average gain of eleven ounces was made by the children in the nutrition classes, the greatest being made by Marjorie Fogas, who recorded two and one-half pounds increase in weight. Mary Virginia Clarke was next highest with a gain of one and three-quarter pounds. Officials of the Tuberculosis Association are in touch with school officials constantly seeking tod broaden the scope of child nutrition work which had Its origin here in the nutritional Institute for children, directed by Dr. William It. P. Emerson of Boston last fall.
