kept pretty busy. But the children go
out into good family homes as fast as
we can At them to do SO, n can find
the right homes for them. There are
nearly 400 now in family homes
in every county of our state ex-
cept one-Bowman. We have pro-
vided for about 1,150 in all.
Some of you were interested two
years ago in the story Of our little
crippled boy, Kauno Luomala, who has
been on his back in bed for nearly
three years. We did not think then
thai he would be alive the next Chill
dren's Home day; but he is, n al
though just a shadow, and racked by
the pains from his illness, he is still
just as patient as can be. He can
scarcely be lifted from his bed now
it hurts so. He has a tubercular dis
ease of the bones, so that part Of his
leg bones have come out. He was
made very happy by the gifts Of the
pupils two years ago., and some Of
them sent boxes of pennies and nickles
for him last year. But he only needs
a few Of them, as he sends some Of the
other children to a little store near by
to get candy for him. He gets lots
of pleasure now in watching from his
window the carpenters and cement
workers as they put up the new ad-
dition. He sends his love to you, and
wishes he could see some Of you. He
is a little Finlander, but knows only
English now.
I hope every one of you may enjoy
