Mitchell wants
TO place all
these children
in good homes.
How Mitchell found homes for a
thousand little children

1t found many parents would gladly take in
one or two foster-children and bring them up
in their own homes for small monthly pay
ment.
But the city's interest did not end there.
Mitchell provided system of supervision over
these homes which guarantees protection to
these children.
In erery case the recommendation of priest,
pastor or rabbi is required, and the child is
placed IN home Of the same religion as its
parents.
All normal children between two and eight
years of age are now placed in good homes
In other words, under Mitchell the children of
New York have been getting chi1dren's rights.
What will become of the institutionsH The
answer is simple: There is lots of other work
for them, such as the care of tubercuar chill
dren, backward children and subnormal types.
For such children institutions will always be
necessary.
If Tammany wins political jobholders will
run things again and numberless little children
will be herdcd and drilled and heart-starved
under the abnormal conditions of institutional
life.
Do you want thatf
If not, cote to keep Mitchell and Fusion on
the job.

The evening world., 1917-10-12

HVERY year about 1000 children have
been coming under the care of New
- York City.
They include foundlings, orphans and the
children of ncglectful parents.
Tammany always consigned them at the city's
expense to the care of various private institu-
tions.
Thousands of little children, therefore, knew
no mothers other than these institutions.
But children don't thrive that wdy
They languish and die like flowers that lack
sunlight.
One single New York institution, for instance,
furnished thousand of the 10000 infants that
died here in year.
Mitchell knew that no matter how good the
institution, it is not the best place to bring up
children.
Massachusetts has for years been successfully
sending its dependent children into good foster
homes rather than orphan asylums.
SO the Mitchell administration began 6Hding
homes for these children.
1t found that thousands of good homes were
glad to adopt child or two without any charge
to the city.

this proposed ballot would merely
transform the present ballot by the
omission of the names of the can

"Its adoption would encourage
