Miss Spence Tells About a Worthy
Australian Home.
The California State Women's Alliance
held its regular meeting yesterday after
noon and listened to an interesting address
by Miss Catherine H. Spence of Australia,
who is delegate to this country from the
State Children's Council of South Aus
tralia. As the work Of the alliance is
largely to be the protecting and caring for
poor and unfortunate children the ladies'
were particularly glad to hear from Miss
Spence an account of the work of the
council in Australia.
This organization takes charge of all
children that fall into the hands of the
staie-the neglected, destitute and uncon.
trellable children. These are gathered up
and taken TO the receiving-house. Some
times there are from thirty to fifty chill
dren IN this home at once, but as soon as
practicable they are sent into the country,
nut into ordinary respectable homes with
Ordinary people, and sent to school.
The government paws quarterly sum
for their support OF 81 % week. If child
is sickly this sum is Increased. There are
committees in he country to receive these
children and find homes for them. If they
are i'll they are attended by the doctor ap-
pointed and paid by the state
They are kept in these families until they
are ID years old. and after that sent out to
service. but still kept under supervision
until 16 or II years of age. This council
has been in existence nearly twenty wears.
and few of the children under its care have
turned out hadly-they are ordinarily alb
sorbed into the industrial life of the COM
munity.
Seven ladies and I'VE gentlemen consti
tute this council. Its purpose is to cut off
the pauper spirit at the root. This placing
children In homes indvidualizes them a
it is impossible 10 do in large industrial in
situations. This movement has been taken
uD all over the Australian colonies and
New Zealand.
The children are not sent to people who
want to make a living out of them. A
quarterly check. or report. is sent in from
schoolmasters to whom these children are
seut. 1t is very hard to abuse or overwork
a child. as it comes to the ears of the
council.
The children look healthy, improve In
morals and get to be trusted. Some of the
incest children are illegitimate--taken
from bad environments and put in kindly
home-and 1t is wonder how these chill
dren blossom out.
TIE next meeting of the alliance will be
held Tuesday, June g. at 2 p. NJ. at 1872 Nc

later, no excitement occurred on
the steamer. 1t was expected they
would be able to float her next
day, but this proved Elusive, as the
vessel was digging her way into the
soft coral reef. Next day she rlghted

about which anxiety was felt have been

in the same spot, was ever recovered.

to comb or even brush his hair, so great
was the pain it occasioned.
That he consulted the local physicians
without successful result; that he took
quantities of medicine with no benefit

disease was incurable, and he had come
10 the same conclusion himself, and had
made up his mind to go to hospital and
