WHAT IT Is DOING.

The ChiIdrens' Home Society Finds Homes
and is Progressing Nicely.
Prior to the organization Of the Ok
lahoma Territory Childrens Home So
ciety in May, 1900, the Kansas Chill
dren's Home Society, by authority of
the National Children's Home Society,
h ad the work in oklahoma under its
care-and did some work. Il mited.)
But now that the Children's Home
Society is regularly and legally char
tered under the laws Of the territory
Of Ok!ahama. the work done by the
Kansa soc ETY. has been transferred to
the custody and supervision of the
territorial Children's Home Society.
The Kansas state superintendent,
Rev, o. s. Morrow, of Topeka. writes

work here-and specifies the work
done-which consists of eight local
advisory boards organized in the Strip
and four children placed in family

Besides these boards and children

lshoma and Indian Territory Chill
drens Home Society-eight intelli-
gence committees or local advisory

ren's Home Society-and have been
placed in good homes with colored
families,
There are now on file in the Office of
the Children's Home society here three
formal applications asking for child
rem to raise as their own. Two want
little girls under twelve, one a boy
! ten to twelve years old, and two other
informal appll a'iIrs requesting
children-one a little girl, and the
other a little baby mot over six
months DID,"
The society began it's work here
without one dollar behind it. The
membership fnnd is growing-good
people are helping to start, and they
and others will sustain it, as moral
force organized under provision of the
law for the benefit of the dependent
chill prem now, and that we may expect
10 need benevolent and Christian care
, and home love, education and train
ing-all of which will OF olny be best
for the child, but will be a great saw
ing to taxpayers and law abiding
citizens.
All persons wanting child or more
to raise as their own, and all persons
knowing Of needy children will please
see or write N. b. Wickham, Guthrie,
/ Oklahoma.
