poverty's child 



Poverty's child came to
school bouncing a ball and dragging
his coat. It was a new ball, both
red and white. But old were the needs
of poverty's child. Old was his need for
love - his need for understanding - his need
for enrichment. Poverty's child came to
school bouncing a ball and dragging his coat.
It was a new ball, both red and white.
