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 coed
homes offered The treasurer's report
showed that the past year was an eX-
ceptionally profitable one financially.
The society is out Of debt entirely and
besides has a neat balance to its cred
it, was enabled to make the necessary
extensive improvements about the re-
ceiving home. The erection of a SUI
perinteudent's dwelling is contemplate
ed on the property Just north across
Tenth street from the home. In |
probability the house will be COM
pleted before the coming winter This
will give the superintendent a better
opportunity to come into closer per-
sonal touch with the children, en-
abing him thereby to study their pc
culiar characteristics and fitness for
the homes offered.
u
lions offered by Mr. Allen the condi-
ton of the home and the work In
general during the year made most
favorable impression on those present:
Whereas, The showing thai has
been made at this annual meeting OF
the Childrens Home society as to it's
physical and financial condit on, 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 methodical organiza-
ton. Consequently in view of the sat
isfactory conditions, which prevail, We
indorse the following resolutions ard
move they be spread upon the rec
ords:

probation of the members OF the
South Dakota Cbildren's Home society

in the advancement and the Interests
of this worthy cause for the past sew
