"She is leaving the Orthopaedic Hospital at Gastonia sometime next week. She can walk now." Janie, Miss Tuttle explained, is the daughter of Western North Carolina mountaineers, her mother is dead and her father got into trouble with the courts. The girl was suf. fering from tubercular hip and could not walk without the aid of erutch and braces. She had little or no schooling. When the family was broken up her case was investigated by the Vocational Education division of the State Board of Education and by the Mothers' Aid division of the State Board of Charities but sufficient funds were not available to meet all the expenses necessary to have her lameness cured and to enter her in proper school. An appeal was made to private sources by Miss Tuttle and the money was contributed, the girl was sent to the hospital, is now walking and will shortly enter the Appalach ian Training School where she will receive an education and training that will enable her to earn a living.
