n
the Appointment of a State Visitor
The annual meeting of the Connection
j. Humane society was held in Hartford Oh
i Friday, when reference was made by Dr.
3 Francis Bacon of this city to the Ney
- Haven county home. 1t has been asserte,
that in some cases the children of the in
Q stitution have been placed in homes n
better than those from which they wer
n originally taken. It was voted to refer tn
n matter to a committee to be appointed
DR.. G. B. Adams of this city, the loca
- agent of the Connecticut Humane society
"a who was not present at the meeting, favor
an investigation.
It DR.. Adams when seen said in regard t.
- the matter: I am glad there is to be an in
| tcStlSdt1Ou, DIS Luluh tu6E0 SHOULD Do
better inspection of the condition of tn
children that are placed in homes from tn
county homes of this state. I disapprov
n of the present method of appointing som
% person in each town to visit the children
" What is anybody's business is nobody
d business. There should be appointed
l. state visitor-one person is sufficient
whose duty shall be to visit tho childre
sent out from the county homes and VIII
J. are still under the care of the manage
. ment, at least four times year. woul
= have the appointment made by the cover
nor. This visitor should receive a suf6
=, cient compensation for his services, a
II it would require all of hi
A. time to do this work properly
o He should look after all these children
n Some are in houses out of the state an
these should also be looked after, as the,
are the children of the state until age
l. I am prepared to back up all I have sal
,e in criticising the way children are put out
r. 1t is my duty as agent of the humane &c
=, ciety to see that the children who are ia
T. ken out of homes of wretchedness by tn
:, society are placed in better homes. Now
some of these children have gone back t.
>: their own homes again, and there are 9th
IL ers who are in no better homes than thos
T. from whence they were token. If stat
y visitor is appointed he can soon determin
); whether the children are in good homes o
u not.
II II Continuing tbs doctor said 81 am tol'
Il that the only record of the New Havel
.. county home is kept by Mrs. Bacon, WIN
70 does not favor keeping a public record
In Hartford county I am told that Mrs
Smith keeps the only record that exists o
- the children put out Now is there no
- some lack of responsibility somewhere il
g failing to keep a public records Thes
81 children are wards of the state, and is i
?; not duty that public record should b
a. kept? I think 80. I am very anxious t.
have state inspector appointed. whe,
- that is done the responsibility will b
T. fixed in one person; there will be an in
8, quiry at regular periods to see that tn
ss children are in good homes and properl
Is treated, and a correct record of the chill
n dren will be kept. The state is responsible
for these children and the state shcuI
know all about them"
