The Children S Aid Society of New
York is name we'll known throughout
the length and breath of the United
States. The title defines the purposes
of the organization very fully, but l
might perhaps add that children who

cause are objects of interest to the So
ciety and in the course of its e1is-
teuce thousands of children have been
reclaimed from misery and degradation
and put in the way of becoming self
supporting, Every year the society
sends out an anpeal at Christmas time,
based on the work accomplished during
the preceding twelvemonth, and il may
