In order that the work may be more
efficiently carried on and the ever in
creasing demands for aid adequately
met, it is deemed necessary to secure
another district superintendent to do
field work east of the Missouri river
as early as possible. There seems to
be an increase in the number OF good
homes offered. The treasurers report
showed that the past year was an e.
c~eptionally profitable n financially.
The society is out of debt entirely and
besides has a neat balance to its cred
Il. was enabled to make the necessary
extensive improvements about the re-
ceiving home. The erection OF a SUI
nerintendent's dwelling is contemplate
ed on the property just north across
Tenth street from the home. In a
probability the house will be com
pleted before the coming winter. This
will give the superintendent a better
ODrOrJunItv TO come into closer per-
sonal touch with the children, en-
abling him thereby to study their pc
culiar characteristics and fitness for
the homes offered.
Judging from the following resoll-
tons offered by Mr.. Allen the condi-
ton of the home and the work In
general during the year made a most
favorable impression on those present:
Whereas, The showing tNat his
been made at this annual netting or
the Children's Home society as to It's
physical and financial condition, is
very pleasing and satisfactory. The
board feels that the home has taken
an advanced position under the pres
ent management. From visitations by
members of the board to other state
homes, this home is found to be not
so large as some, but so far In ad-
vance in care and equipment, and That
we can truthfully congratulate our
selves that it stands second to none IN
cleanliness and m~ethodical organiza-
ton. Consequently in view of the sat
isfactory conditions, which prevail, we
indorse the following resolutions and
move they be spread upon the rec
ords:
Resolved, That the thanks and APP
probation of the members OF the
South Dakota Children's Home society
be extended to superintendent and
Mrs. Stuckeman for the efficient man
ner in which the affairs of the home
have been con Quoted during the past
wear. and for the interest and loyalty
TO the cause which they have shown
on all occasions.
Resolved. That the members of the
society also wish to make a record
of their appreciation and Endorsement
of the faithful and p~ainstaking ser
vices of the president of the board,
Mr.. George %Schlosser, and also that Of
its secretary, Mrs. A. Beverage, who
have both given freely Of their time
in the advancement and the interests
of this worthy cause for the past sew
eral years. The matron, Mrs. Foster,
ha also shown herself worthy OF orr
commentator for her untiring efforts
for the helpless little ones dependent
upon her care and guidance. We also
feel that Mr.. T. II. Brown should re-
ceiye a word of praise for the amount
of time and attention hat he has
given to the ~remodeling of the home
building during the past year.
Immediately following the meeting
of the society the board OF directors
convened for the purpose of effecting
