THE CHILDREy'S AID SOCIETY.

Once more the Chidren's Aid Society. through
It's annual report, lays before the public sum
mary OF the work which II has done during
the year 1t Is true that the bcnencent actlvi-
ties OF the society are more or less familiar 10
many persons from continual observation or
their results. but the annual statement Is en-
titled TO wide publicity. and we hope that II Is
productive. as It ought to lie, of growing inter
est and liberal contributions The Children s
Aid Society has always been remarkable for
the simplicity. efficiency and economy OF It's
administration The money It receives goes
straight to the objects for which Il Is Intended
being diminished by no waste on the way. and
by only modest expenditures. And how ad-
mlrable those objects are. Here are few elo-
quent figures: In the socletys twenty day and
twelve evening schools 14Ol7 children were
taught, and partly fed and partly clothed. In
tho six lodging houses 2i3590 meals and 11O,A2
lodgings were supplied 10 5,Ss different boys
and girls The farm school was attended by
436 boys: Loss were sent 10 homes and employ
ment: the Sick Chldrens Mission gave food
and medicine TO 1,GSS: the Summer Home nj
Bath Beach received 5271 children. and the
Health Home at Coney Island 5,222 mothers
and sick infants; the Elizabeth Home taught
6l girls TO use the sewing machine; S2,4o3 ~
was deposited IN the Penny Savings Bank, and
the total number Of individuals brought under
the care OF the society during the year was
1856 At the beginning Of the year there was
deficit Of more than 200. but at the close
a deficit OF only 1895 -.
Large as these specific operations are. they
indicate only n small part OF the service which
the society performs. It's greatest work Is
wrought upon the character and lives OF those
10 whom It ministers. II il did no more than
give temporary relief 10 misery II would be far
less worthy Of commentator and support. II
is in planting the seed OF morality, industry and
independence that the society establishes It's
highest claim not alone 10 the gratitude OF tho
children whom II rescucs, but 10 the jealous co
operation OF the community which II serves.
