A survey of Vermont for dependent
children will be made at once with the
cooperation of the Vermont Parent
Teacher association, the Federation of
Woman s clubs and the Vermont State
Medical society.
1t is hoped also to have the state
board of education work in conjunction
with the other organizations. Data will
be collected as soon as possible
and forwarded to Miss Lena G. Ross of
Rutland, who is state secretary of the
Parcnt-Teacher association and chair
man of the child welfare committee.
Mrs. f. G.. Swinncrton of Rutland,
who was elected president of the Yer
mont Parent-Teacher association in
Burlington states that the various
branches of this organization in the
state will be asked to do everything in
their power to forward the work Of
the survey. She believes that the
teachers, who come into contact with
a great number Of youngsters, will be
glad to do their share in collecting in
| formation, also that mothers and fathers
will help in any way they can to better
conditions.
Physicians throughout the state are
also keenly alive to the probable re-
suit of the work and there seems little
question but what they, too, will con-
tribute data whenever they come across
it, Information sent to Miss Ross should
give the name and age of the child,
complete history of the case as far
as it can be obtained, the mental and
physical condition of the little one and
statement as to whether the parents
are living or dead.
No names will be published in order
that no possible offense can be given to
persons interested in the welfare of the
children. The object of the survey is
not to place the youngsters in institu-
tions, but to provide good homes
wherever possible. The aim is further
to have central bureau of charity fol-
Vermont. Charity workers here arc
very sensitive upon the point of de
pendent children. In every other state
in the Union some provision is made fol
them, but up to this time nothing has
been done in Vermont. Usually they are
sent to the poor farm or to an orphan
age.
Miss Ross hopes to have the results
of the survey as complete as possible 10y
December Is. Some action will be taker
to remedy conditions at the annual meet
ing of the Charities and Corrections
conference which takes place in Mont
pelier January 20. In all probability thu
data compiled will be presented to tn,
legislature and it is believed that som'
recognition will then be made of tn,
work.
