Amos w Butler, secretary of the
board of state charities and president

Richmond should awaken to the
necessity of problems which the con

Find Local Problems.
Every problem is local problem,
Mr.. Butler said. Every inmate of
every institution comes from some
county, some township, some city and
from some home. 1t is the duty of
each individual to find out why they
are there and to prevent other mem
bers of his family and other citizens of
his city from going in the same direct

ence is to find the cause SO that We
