be no question, there would pract-
cally be no loss excepting thai Incl
dent TO scattering these family cases
In rhc several courts and banding
them with divided jurisdiction, but (
II is the very best possible consumma-

inc the desperate condition which /,
surrounds us But II is not the time |
10 mourn over the situation, but gath
or ourselves together and create /
constructive policy which viii tend to /
reconcile these families and adjust (,
their differences and carry on so far
As possible the work which has been /

children OF over 400 families which are /
now on our lists and acting under the I
supervision OF this court with view I
