NORTH CAROLINA CHILDREN S
HOME SOCIETY.


After a careful investigation, made
in the early part of 1903, it was de-
termined that there was a field for
child-saving in North Carolina, out
side the work as conducted by the va
rious orphanages. IT was found that
there was q considerable GLASS of
needy white children who were eth
er not eligible to the orphanages
under their rules of admission, or
could not be received for lack Of
room. These children were not only
needy, but were in addition being
sadly neglected, a condition that made
FOR their ear!y enrolment in the
ranks Of pauperism or crime.
Possessed of this information and
knowing that the generous spirit Of
North Carolina would not allow any
known childish suffering, the North
Carolina Children's Home Society was
incorporated by fifteen Of the most
prominent citizens of the State and
otficered by Col w. II. Osborn, of
Greensboro, as president; Hon. b. T..
Dixon. f. p. Venable, and r. ID.
Douglas as epresidents; E. M.
Armfeld, of High Point, as secretary;
and Capt j. W. Fry, of Greensboro,
as treasurer. VIM. Streeter was
made the executive officer with the
title of State Superintendent.
The object of the society as stated
in the charter, granted Nov. 2. 1903,
was "tO receive and provide for des-
titute. neglected, ill-treated aband-
oned white children, to seek out suit
able family homes for those that are
normal and protect their interests by
proper contract and otherwise; and to
perform such other acts as will tend
to improve the condition of the above
mentioned classes of children"
Membership in the society is ac-
qured simply by becoming a contribu-
tor and anyone, no matter what his
church or creed. may enjoy all the
privileges and benefits Of the society
by giving a dollar, or more year 20

understood the difficult task of writing
it.
Much that would have aided in
writing such a history has been lost
by Indifference and care!essness and
neglect. To collect what has been
written and preserve it in proper
form has been the laborious and low
ing work of Mr.. Grssom.
1t has involved much time. travel,
patient research and great cost 10 give
to the church and the public the first
volume of North Carolina Methodist
history.
The book contains much valuable
information, and facts not known to
the general reader. 1t throws light on
the character ard work OF the pio-
neers of the church. 1T shows the ag
gressiveness of Methodism IN this sec
ton.
The writer we'll says "it will be
seen in these pages that the nrst sub
scription to a Methodist school in
America was made by North Carolin-
ians; that the first Conference school
was erected in North Carolina: the
first Methodist periodical published in
America was launched from North
Carolina; the first discipline IN its
present form was prepared for the
press by a circuit preacher In North
Carolina; and the camp meeting

children as they are received, whore
they may be clcanscd and prepared
for admission into the families where
their new life is to be lived. Such a
home the society has not yet acquired
and works under the disa advantage
thereby of having to board the child
ren here and there while they are
waiting transfer to their new homes.
The support of the society is
wholly the voluntary gifts of those in
terested in saving children. It's main
expense as must be inferred, is the
salaries and travelling expenses Of its
representatives who devote their
whole time to the work, and who
are engaged in seeking out the needy
children, placing them in families and
looking after them thereafter, and in
representing the work to the charita-
bic public. AT present there are three
so employed, the State superintendent
and two solicitors. The work is
growing so rapidly that other helpers
will very soon be needed.
one hundred and twenty child

society since October 18th, 1908,

its support $4,000 paid in one sum,
or in five annual installments, makes
one a life member.
The societys efforts have been d-
rected TO the rescue of those children
only that could not be admitted to any
orphanage and it has received those
as old as sixteen years, and as young
as two weeks. Any needy white child,
under sixteen years Of age and sound
mentally and physically, may claim
the society's aid.
The method of work is to receive
the child into its midst. treat it as
a member of the family, give it a
common school education, and a train
ng in some useful occupation at
which it can earn a living when of
age. The child is then placed in
such family and q simple contract is
entered into with the family which
assures the proper care and training
of the child.
Before any child is placed in a
home, an experienced investigator
makes a personal visit to the family
and studies IL in its own home and
neighborhood surroundings. After a
child is placed, he is frequently visited
by trained representatives of the So
ciety. If at any time it shall appear
to the society that@one of its wards is
being improperly treated in family,
or that the place is unsuited to him,
he is removed and replaced in more
congenal surroundings.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the mission of the society is to
restore the needy child to the natural
environment, family life, as quickly as
possible, and not to gather them into
a central place to be educated and
trained If the work is properly con-
Quoted, the society will never be ac-
tually supporting many children,
though it may have under its guar
dianship a very large number The
major part of the maintenance of its
wards will be furnished by the fami-
lies caring for them, free of cost to
the society, hence the society has no
need of a large orphanage. 1t should
have, however, a small home to serve

ment that quickly gave place to joy
