Ever since it's organization four years
ago the Organized Aid Association has
talked about establishing society for
the prevention of cruelty to children, but
for lack of funds, or lack Of something
else, the children are still suffering from
the cruelty of the estate into which they
were born. Now the State Charities Aid
Association has taken up the children's
interests, and hopes to furnish Jersey
City with an S. P G. G. before Thanks
giving. Among those interested in the
enterprise are Mrs. e. f. Williamson,
DR.. w. Fl. Allen. Mrs. Brice Collard,
the Rev. Father Moran and a number Of
other prominent g svmen.

The Charities AN. plogramme for 1908
includes a number of things which that
organization intends to accomplish before
next summer. Among them is an extern
sion Of the probation system into fifteen
Counties. There are hundreds of pris-
oners in County jails, the society claims,
that might and should be in the custody
of a probation officer, with benefit to
themselves and society and economy to
the taxpayer.
Another object for which the society
is working is the establishment Of State
Reformatory for women and older girls.
Several hundred women are now sent
each year to jails where they are attend
ed my male officers or even male prison
ers. The w. G. T. U. is also working
for this object.
Useful employment for 5000 prisoners
now idle; work and chance for released
prisoners, and. separation in courts and
jails of witnesses and juveniles from
adult criminals, are among the other
promised accomplishments Of the Chari-
ties Aid.
