Work of the Child Saving Institute of Omaha

are so many people wanting children why
should II be necessary to keep them at the
institute on the average of from two to
three months. The answe is that people
want children of certain description and are
not willing to take others who do not come
up to the ideal they have set for them
selves. In addition to this it often hap
pens that a brother and sister or two little
sisters cling to each other and we are not
willing to serarate them and must wait
until a home can be found where both can
remain together. In such cases II would
be necessary to visit quite a number of
homes before a decision can be reached.
In addition to this it must be taken into
account that in the multitude OF applica-
lions for children we are anxious to do
the best for the children, taking into
account at the same time the priority of
applications and claims Of people from
different points of view. We try to do just
in dealing with all parties desiring children
while we are endeavorlIg at the same time
TO work for the best interests OF every
child committed to our care.
$50 many things must be taken into ac-
count in the final decision in placing the
child that II is often found difficult and
requires time. We recognize that the

great extent upon our decision and the re-
sponsibility is very great and many ele-
ments enter into the problem. These eX-
plantations are made with the hope that
many who have made application for chill
dren will be patient with the management
Of the institute. Letters of sharp criticism
often come from people who have made APP
p~lication and they blame the institute be-
cause others received children and they
did not. These things are also mentioned
because it is a splendid commentary on
our modern civilized society that so many
homes in the west are open to receive
homeless and dependent children.
THE great necessity at the present time
in the work Of the institute is a new build
ms. Four or five years ago property was
donated TO the institute at the corner OF
Eighteenth and Ohio streets and nearly
SIS. 600 expended in additions to the old
buil6.ng which stood on these grounds.
Very soon after these additions were made
the volume OF the work OF the institute
was such that the building was over
crowded. Rooms have been rented in the
nelghborhood and one cottage nearby has
been rented for more than three years
and the work has been carried forward

in a closed room in winter with these
desks and hling cases. IL is different
now. The furniture is built on legs
so that II is easy to remove the dirt,
and with the sanitary bases the raised
sanitary desks afford absolute freedom
from accumulated waste and dirt and
are really a feature of great merit.
A complete line of all kinds of Office
furniture is carried and on the sample
floor one may find desks ranging in
price from $40 to $3.50 among the 200
or more from which one might choose.
The lines carried are manufactured by
the largest and best known manufac-
turing plants in America and the firm
does not fear TO go into competition
with the world with the goods which
are always on hand to display.
Not content with waiting for what
business might show up, this enter
prising firm has three travelling men
in Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas who are
looking for firms which need new fur
niture and for court houses which
must be supplied with judges benches
and desks for the clerk and other off,
GERS, and filing cases for the county
and district clerks. This business has
grown to great proportions in the west
and the Omaha Printing Company IL

sible to the home Of the people making the
application.
It sometimes happens, when abundant in
formation has been secured concerning the
desirability of the home, the child is taken
by an agent and then II conditions are
found favorable, after personal Interviews
with neighbors and after careful study Of
the home and surroundings, he reaches the
conclusion that the home would be a good
one for a child. The people are then in
formed that they take the child for three to
six months on trial and II at the end Of
that period everything is found mutually
satisfactory, consent is issued to adopt by
the institute and the final papers executed
I'm the county court where the family re-
sides.
It some times happens that the people
become dissatisfied with the child at the
end of a few weeks and the child is re-
turned to the Institute. Unless there Is
mutual affection between the child and the
foster parents final adoption would be Inn
possible to consider. 1t sometimes happens
also that in spite Of precautionary measures
taken by the institute in the selection OF
homes, during the three to six menths
trial develops that the people are un-
worthy to have the child and the child is
returned to the institute.
The whole business of selecting homes
for children is far more difficult than mosi
people imagine. II would be a great mis-
take to suppose that every one making
application for a child should be permitted
to receive and adopt one. The best inter
ests of the child must always be taken into
account.

pany is the largest to be found be-
tween Chicago aud San Francisco and
the volume OF work turned out by this
concern has reached proper
lions. The plant is most thoroughly
equipped for doing all sorts of work
and everything in the printing and
bookbinding line is handled by skilled
workmen.
Two linotype machines and two
monotype machines are used in this
modern office, which has some con
tracts which would stun a manager OF
an ordinary plant. The force OF 125
people in the printing and bookbinding
departments always has all the work 1t
is able to do.
Ten years ago the Omaha Printing
Company would have thought 1t had
the prize contract to receive a job
amounting to $4,000 or SO, 900 and the
Job would have seemed almost too
large to handle. II Is different now.
for that firm has two or three contracts
of 500 each and has had one con-
tract for a number of years amounting
in itself to $4,000 a year.
A speciality is also made Of blank
books for records of all kinds for bust

die, little ones are abandoned and must be
taken in for shelter and must be fed and
clothed until homes can be found. Care
is taken to secure legal papers Of re-
llnquishment or guardianship through the
county court for those surrendered for
adoption.
Nearly every week letters come from
country precincts making inquiries as TO
how a ehild can be secured for adoption.
As soon as formation comes concerning
families desiring to adopt a child a blank
application paper is sent with the request
that it be filled out, giving from three to
five names for reference. As soon as the
application reaches the office letters are
written to the parties whose names are
given for reference and other letters are
written also 10 reliable persons In the
community making inquiry concerning the
character and ability OF the people making
the application TO receive and adopt a

the best to be had and after visiting in
Chicago and other points in search of
the kind of Office furniture wanted the
manager visited the establishment of
the Omaha Printing Company and
found just what would suit him. Those
who have seen the plans for the John

most splendid Office equipment to be
found west of Chicago. The order in

other Offices in the building will require
an outlay of $1,000. Some Of the

$2,SO0.
Over 100 banks in western states

To build up this enormous business
in the short space of five years has
been the especial task of Charles G..
Cope, jr., manager of the office furni-
ture and stationery departments. He
has worked a~ssiduously and to his
efforts may be attributed in a measure
the large number of big contracts
which have recently been filled by the

Believing that the best way to sell
goods is to have good wares and then
to show them well, the Omaha Print

sanitary and convenient office furni-
ture. On entering the plant one is
amazed at the beauty of the furniture

there has been a change in the finish
of Office furniture and the dark golden
has given way to the light golden oak,
which makes a much prettier effect.

the entire community Of the value and
necessity OF the work. Now the old build
ings occupied by the institute are 30 dilap-
dated that they must be torn down and
rebuilt or a new structure erected on a new
site.
The trustees have decided to select a new

furniture in their court houses and
many new business houses have been
established. To provide the newest
and most up-to-date Office furniture
for these the Omaha Printing Company
five years ago decided to add a new
department to its immense printing
establishment and to carry a complete
line of fine ONCE furniture. The wis
dom of this move was long ago proven
by the immense volume of business
which is done in this line by this en-
terprising Arm.
To provide room for this enormous
increase in business has been a prob
len with the firm, whose Offices are at
Tenth and Farnam streets. The es-
t~ablishment has spread upward and
outward until 1t is a huge establish
ment covering a quarter of a city
block, and still it is somewhat crowded
for room. On the desk sales floor

be adjusted without breaking up the home
and separating children from parents.
Sometimes parents bring their children TO
the institute to get rid OF the burden Of
supporting them. They are not re-
ceived.
A woman with two beautiful children ap-
peared at the institute recently and wanted
10 sign papers OF REIMBURSEMENT to have
the girls go into homes for adoption. stating
that her husband spent his money for
