Smyrna, or at least those connected
with the state movement back of the
Delaware Children's Home Society |
are much interested in getting the |
work for the year properly financed
and in good working shape. The local
workers recently received a letter in |
which the statement was made that |
"the Delaware Children's Home So
ciety is now passing through finan-
cial crisis, and it will be necessary to
materially increase the income of |
the Society if it is to continue the
work it has been carrying on. - The
work which the Society is now doing |
was begun in the year 1900 as a part
of the work of the New Jersey Home
Society. In the year 1904. the pre-
sent Society was incorporated at Dover
to work as an auxiliary to the New
Jersey Society. Last June the two
Societies separated so that now the
burden of support falls entirely upon
our own society. The work of the
Society is now four-fold: (D To res
cue children under 18 years from any
unfit conditions. (2) To give medical
and other attention where needed.
(3) To place the children in family
homes. (4) To put incorrigibles in
Schools or other Institutions. The
method of work is by means of local
Boards in addition to the Board of
Directors; the usual executive officers;
and Superintendent, giving all of
his time to the work. Among the
officers from whom additional infor-
nation may be obtained are the fol-
lowing in Smyrna: Rev. Thomas Getz
Hill, Second Vice President of the
General Board, and Miss Eunice An
thony, Miss Mary Spruance, Mr.. L.
Nj. Price of the Local Board. 1t is
the purpose of the Local Board to
make appeals for funds. and it is
hoped that all interested will respond
literally.
