telling, namely. that receipts have been
seriously diminished, and that there is ur-
gent need OF immediate help to maintain
the efficiency OF the institutions. Through
the pages OF the magazine there run tales
OF child restitution, neglect and pitiable
usage which show that the homes have
still an unexhausted mandate, and that
great task yet lies to their hands to be
done. Their records. as set forth in ''Per-
