A NOBLE WORK.
Rescuing Little Children.
Temporary Homes for Dependent and Neglsete
 Chidren

Temporary Homes for Dependent and Neglected
 Children.
 The Hartford Courant of July 22, in an interesting article on this subject says that these homes are founded on certain beliefs. among which are these:-
 "Q) That poorhouse children make adult paupers .-a .'
 (2) That adult paupers mean taxes, always, and criminals frequently;
 (3) That one, and principal way to diminish taxes, and lessen the number of adult paupers and criminals, is to keep poor children out of poorhouse conditions and associations
 (9 That always, and all the time, the best place for a Connecticut child is in Connecticut home;
 (5) That Connecticut has good enough homes for all her children;
 (6) And that what is needed, and all that IS needed, in order to put her poor children into good Lomes is to establish proper and central places where the homeless, or worse than homeless little ones may be found, and provide medi- um of communication between the children that want homes and the homes that want children"
 The whole matter may be summed up by quoting still further from the same article:-
 It will be seen that the plan under which the home is carried on, is new, and not always well understood or ap- preciated, but enough has been done to merit the attention and sympathy of the public and the good will of thinking people. "
 Are the Canaanites aware that the temporary home for the neglected poor children of Litchfeld county, has been moved from New Milford to East Ca naan. and is now under the care of Mr Talmadge Pulyer ?
 If any of the readers of the NEWS think that these institutions, as now es- tablished in different parts of the state, will increase the expenses of the towns, or make too large hauls on the public treasuries, we think that little investi- gation will show that this is mistake.
 Of the six children who have been in the Litchield county home since it's es- tablishment, last fall, all but one have have found permanent homes, and the special business of the committees ap- pointed in each town is to find good homes for them, so that the towns are relieved of all responsibility in regard to them, sooner than they would other wise be.
