In October, 1907, a cam
paign was started by THE
DELINEATOR to find homes
for homeless children. The
active work was stopped in
January, 1911.
During that period three
thousand children were
placed directly by THE DE-
IINEATOR. In addition, five
thousand children gained
homes through Opportuni-
ties which the campaign dis
closed.
IN l9l4,rhreeyears after the
active work ceased, The
DELNEATOR received 45l
applications for children to
be placed in homes.
Consider for a moment
what IHEDELINEATOR must
mean in these eight thousand
homes. Consider also the

paign reveals.
