Agent Stout of the Society for the Pre-.
vention of Cruelty to Children In his
April report says he Investigated 20 of 81
complaints which involved 20 white and
7colored children. Ten OF these were left
with mothers, eleven with parents, two
in private families and relations, three
were sent to the Ferris Industrial School
and one to the Delaware City Catholic
Protectorates. Owing to the action Of
this years Legislature making the appro.
priation of $1,000, six hundred of which
should have been paid last year, the treas
uer showed balance in bank to the credit
Of the society.
He also ptold of having an increased
salary and the addition of seven contrlbu-
tors to the society. Among the cases he
Investigated was a child of 8 years found
performing on trapeze. The manager
admitted that in at least three acts in
which the child performed there was great
danger. Yet in no instance was there
net provided in case she had fallen, as
would have been done had the performer
been an Older person. Not only was her
manager loath to take the child off the
stage. but the father also objected, saying
he had just paid SIS for a suit for her. and
where was he to look for return. The law
was clearly on the side Of Mr.. Stout and
he had the child withdrawn.
