The report of the Colorado
Children's Home Society was recently
filed by Secretary Theodore ID. Boal
with Secretary Stonaker of the State
Board OF Charities and Correction. The
institution. which is OF quasiprivate
character, was formed originally by

Denver and was maintained for some
years before the task of finding homes
and caring for dependent and deserted
children was made a part of the work
of the state charitable society. Will
lam Byrd Page is president. Walter
Fairbanks vice president. Theodore
Boal secretary and frank w. Loveland
treasurer. Dean II. NJ. Hart is one OF
the incorporators. The home Is at No.
3545 Raleigh street The report shows
that there have never been more than
fourteen children in the home at one
time during the year ending last May.
and that of ninety-four children who
have been In the home during that
time, seventy-two have been placed In
families and nine returned to parents
and guardians Since the State Home
for Dependent Children has been in
existence there has been more or less
feeling between the directors Of the
old Childrens home and those associ-
ated with the similar work In the state
home. The right of the Children S
| Temporary Home-the name OF the
| home conducted by the Colorado Chill
| dren's Home Society--to exist has
been questioned by many not in sym
pathy with it. The report, however.
shows it to have been remarkably sue
cessful in placing children.
