ORGANIZATION THAT CARES
FOR UNFORTUNATE CHILDREN.
Photo by Downey. London.

That the Rhode Island Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Children has
with the strong aid of the law, wrestled
from brutal parents thousands OF help
less suffering children, is fact which
is proved by the most authentic statis-
ties since the organization OF the society.
almost twenty years ago.
ACCORDING TO the history OF the move
ment the LIST society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty 10 Children was organized in
New York In the year 1875. Before that
organization the children of the poor had
no protection and, as one OF the workers
In the cause has said They were driven
from their homes at all hours of the day
and night, 10 beg and steal and were
otherwise cruelty treated, and although
there were many institutions veady to
do their best for the children when once,
In their care. yet these institutions had
no authority to interpose between the
child and It's oppressor or enforce any
law for the protection OF the little ones"
Now, however, there are many such So
cieties throughout the United States and
in the lands across the sea.
The remarkable growth of these socie-
Ties, in the last decade, proves more than
all things else the need OF the same.
Some one has said truly. that "all the
neglected childhood"
In view of this truth Il would be a
blessing to the world IL these societies
for the prevention OF cruelty to children
could be multiplied a hundred fold.
The great work which has been accom-
plished by Mr.. Charles III. Thmber, the
agent OF the Rhode Island society, dur
ing his long and honorable term OF SER
vice Is familiar tale which has oft been
told yet the tale Is so full of humanity
and pathos that IL cannot be too oft re-
peated lest we forget"
The aim of the society Is first, last and
always the protection of the children.
The intention OF the organization and
the first object OF the agent is to exert
a moral influence and either by remon-
STRANGE or by warning to prevent cruelty
without destroying the family relation.
There is never any Interference with
the ordinary cases OF parental discipline
IL Is only when good counsel and the
fear of punishment are alike disregarded,
that the law is invoked and children are
rescued from intolerable acts OF cruelty
which render their young lives hIdeous
dream and usually. unless averted by the
society, ends In a career or vice.
The hold that the society has gained

on public sympathy and upon the chill
dren of the city and state Is quite re-
markabe as shown by generous contrib
utions and life memberships and by the
success that attends all efforts to raise
money. OF more significance than all
else. In connection with the work OF the
society. Is the fact that-because OF the
existence. of such an organization, I'm our
midst, instances of physical brutality be-
come fewer and fewer. year by year. Mr..
Thurber declares that year by year the
fear OF rigidly enforced law, combined
with careful oversight OF the lighter of
tenders, has reduced TO a minimum the
exaggerated cases OF cruelty 10 children.
Yet the prevention of cruelty TO chill
dren is by no means the extent of the
noble work done under the guidance OF
Mr.. Thurber
Even a far greater and more difficult
work is done I'm the rescue OF hundreds of
young girls from dens of vice and homes
OF the lowest character.
Concerning this phase of his work an
interesting portion OF one OF Mr.. Thur
ber's reports will convey some idea OF the

Frequently. during tine year lust

Both experience and sentiment force

majority OF these waits OF the street are
victims OF circumstances and more sinned
against than SHINING.
Consider the atmosphere so many of
them breathe and often from the first
opening of their eyes into a world I'm
