ing neeuy mothers and widows in the
/ county.
| The worthy cases are first thor
oughly investigated by the Associated
Charities, and in doing this the KEEP
of the Children's Aid Society, the In
dustrial and other child-en's homes
the Visiting Nurses, etc, is obtained
! by the Charities in finding out all il
can about the case. The cooperative
system is worked out to perfection by
the Charities in cases like these.
After the necessary data has been
secured, the Charities reports to the
Poor Board and the latter organiza-
ton sends financial assistance to the
mother. Usually the case in question
includes the mother and several chill
dren. AS rule the mother works
steadily but the numerous mouths to
feed and the shoes to provide, makes
the job tough one. Unless there is
help the children are either sent out
to work or are put in some home; and
that means the breaking up of the
home. That is just what the Poor
Board through the medium of the
Associated Charities is able to pre-
vent. Keeping together the home
! is the one object we have in view
said John P. Geyer, clerk to the poor
board to-day.
The ability of the Poor Board to
look after these cases is made pos
sble by the recent overlooking of as
sistance lists. of the days when the
late George x. l.. Row was clerk and
the cutting from the books of un-
worthy cases.
