 FOR GROWING CHILDREN


Buffalo, N. Y, June n.-(Special.)- Preventive Work" and Home Finding are the two all absorbing themes of dis cussion at the children's section of the National Conference of Charities and Cor rections, now in sessioH here. Indeed, at the other section meetings the problems of the children are ever coming to the front At a meeting on immigrants this morning, presided over by Miss Jane Ad- dams of Hull House, Chicago, where the subject, Racial Problems Involved in Recent Immigration" held the boards, the discussion drifted almost entirely to "Assimmilation and Training of the Child of the Immigrant"
 Likewise in the Needy Families" sec ton the discussion ran into the prob lems of childhood. In this section meet ing 1t was demonstrated how the kin dergartens were doing fundamental work in teaching the mother and children to- gether the sacred relationships of each to the other-both in work andn fin play and in keeping the family intact. It was shown that for generations philanthro- pists and charity workers had been call ing on every imaginable existing organ
