pcndents should be cared for in county
institutions, separate from the aims
house entirely. until they can be given
to foster-parents or taken home again.
Eight institutions in this city that
are receiving State aid were invited to
send representatives to the hearing,
which was held in the rooms of the
State Board of Public Charities, but
the Industrial Home was the only one
to send members. Mrs. Boyer outlined
what had been accomplished and how
the good work of the institution was
to be enlarged. The managers, how
ever, did not look with very great
favor on the suggestion for homes
under direction of the poor directors

the various charitable institutions.
The Crittenton home sent a letter
giving its ideas and an outline of work.
