In order that the work may be more
efficiently carried on and the ever in
creasing demands for aid adequately
met, Ii 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 i'm the number OF coed
homes offered. The t~reasurer's report
showed that the past year was an ex-
c~eptionally profitable one financially.
The society is u of debt entirely and
besides has a neat balance to Its cred
it, was enabled to max the necessary
extensive improvements about the re-
ceiving home. The erection OF a su-
r~erintendent's dwelling Is contemplat-
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
opportunity to come into closer rer-
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 resoln-
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 that has
been made at this annual meeting OF
the Children's Home society "a 10 Its
physical and financial condit on, is
very pleasing and satisfactory. The
board feels that the home has taken
an advanced position under the pres
emit 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 1t stands second to none in
cleanliness and methodical ~organi,a-
ton. Consequently in view OF the sat
