of these young men had not attained to proper physical development because as children they had never had enough to eat. This is at the bottom an educational problem, too. For it is impossible to teach anything to a starved or hungry child. If the child comes to school in that condition it is the duty of the state to feed it. Indeed, it is necessary for the state to
feed it if the education which the! state proposes to give it is not to be a total waste. It may be right, under I an individualistic regime, to let the adult starve if he is net efficient enough to feed himself, hut to let the children starve or half-starve is
surely imbecile. For that underfed child will in a majority of cases fail to attain a healthy efficient, adulthood, and will therefore be unable to properly feed his children in turn. Take, again, the problem of crime. The United States produces more of it
