EXPLAIN REPORT
ON ALMSH0USE
Committee Makes Points Clear
in Reference to Children
at City Home.

Explanation of two points in the re-
port on the City Jail and Almshouse,
recently published. Is made BY the Wis
Ting committee of the State Board of
Charities and Corrections. 1t Is as
follows:
1t having been called TO our atten-
tion that the report OF the committee
appointed BY the State Board OF Chart
ties and Corrections to inspect the
City Almshouse has been misunder-
stood In two particulars by few
readers, and fearing the language of
the report may have been misleading.
we desire to state more explicitly the
facts regarding these two items.
l. The number of children born in
the City Hospital indicates merely the
number of INDECENT women who arc
admitted to the maternity ward The
comment was intended to call atten-
ton to the fact that the children are
thrown on the community to support
because the mothers find 1t easier to
give them away than to provide for
them The intention was to empha size
the need of some supervision of these
women by benevolent organizations
and individuals. rather than the in
discriminate adoption of the children
leaving the mothers free to follow
their evil ways Perhaps any misap-
prehension would have been prevented
by explaining that the city provides
both an almshouse and free hospital
separate institutions-under one SUI
perintendent and in one building. The
comment on the number of births APP
plies to the hospital only.
Is Not Record.
2 The number of births OF feeble
minded children, and the number OF
such children now living Is the record
of statistics collected from the in
mates of the City Home. but is not a
record of conditions there. The num-
Der OF women of feeble mind then
domiciled atthe City Home supplied the
material from which the lnforma ton
was gathered. but 1t was not intended
TO convey the impression that these chill
dren. or any of them. had ever been
inmates of the City Homo. nor do we
think the language used justiiies any
such conclusions.
We gladly make this explanation. as
we desire to be recognized merely as
impartial investigators. stating condi-
tons simpl. as we found them. and
in no sense as critics or fault-fnders
