THE cHILD's sAviNo INSTITUTE.
Engaged IN the Noble Mission %

Engaged In the Noble Mission %
Protecting and Saving oesti-
tute and Helpless Children.
The chief object Of the work Of the
Child Saving Institute is to save and
protect destitute and helpless chil-
dren. For the most part it is support
ed by the free gifts Of philanthropic
men and women Of Omaha. Such an
institute could not long survive in .
small community where the people
are as q rule unable to make large
contributions. Experience shows that
charitable organizations of the magni.
tnle and effectiveness of the Child
Saving Institute can subsist only in
large population centers, where, of
course, there is the greatest need of
its kind Offices. In the absence of
such organization in the small towns
dependent children must be taken
into the homes of benevolent men and
women who thus assume the burden
for the community and in some cases
these good people can i'll afford to do
SO. In every town and village there
are examples of this work of humani-
ty, SO that everybody has come to
know and to realize the absolute
necessity for providing some system
attic means of caring for unfortunate
children. This is why well-to-do
people in the country towns express a
willingness to contribute to the sup
port of the Child Saving Institute
which has from it's origin received
destitute children from many places
outside of Omaha. In every case of
this kind the Institute not only re-
lieved the local community of the
burden of caring for such children,
but it brought to the relief of the
children systematic, efficient means
Of protection and care as the result of
much study AMI experience-an equip
ment impossible to small town.
The officers of the Institute do not
stop to inquire whether the people of
any community have done their full
duty by the dependent children re-
commended for admission to the in
stitute; they are taken in and given
the best possible care, and later
placed into good homes in this or
some other community 1t is purely
work of humanity, deserving of the
sympathy and support of every man
and woman in the west. The board
of trustees make an appeal to ben
evolent-minded men in the towns and
villages Of Nebraska for contributions
in support of the Institute and to help
erect a new building now contemplate
ed and which is a necessity to the in
creasing demands of the work.
