24 THE TOOT The Greatest Mother in the World Contined from page 13 training in farm work. When Clara Barton was eleven her brother, David, was injured from a fall and later contracted a fever. Her first practical experience was gained here in caring for him for over two years. The function of the Red Cross in times of war is the care of the wounded men and the supervision of their families at home. In the recent World War, the Red Cross furnished nurses and supplies to keep our soldiers comfortable, happy and brave. It also supported canteens all over the country so that troops of soldiers passing through towns or cities might obtain food and cheer. In the recent drive the Red Cross Society of America is attempting to reorganize on a peace basis, to furnish help in emergency and dis- aster and to spread cheer broadcast through the country. A portion of the funds received go to the national treasury of the society, and a larger portion stays in the local treasury for home and school better- ment. The Red Cross of Canastota is supplying undernourished children with free milk daily. The distribution is in charge of Miss Webster, the school nurse.
