Nobody's Child.

The child is the chief delight OF the home.
A fortunate child with the rightful allowance. Of
relatives is always the ceverest, sweetest, pretest
baby in all the world, and is cared for accordingly.
But what about "nobody's child5"
In Middle-West town little girl OF six
years was housed, literally in detention home
for one year. Understand, exactly that this small
waif was never out OF doors once In whole
twelve monthsl
Why9 She was only "nobody's child"
There wasn't living soul who cared whether
she had her daily outing, her necessary breath Of
fresh air every day, even once a year.
Nobody intended to be cruel Nurses had
charge of her by day and matrons by night. but
neither the rules nor the service of the institution
covered her case. The home for transients,
so nobody noticed that the needs Of the little one
who stranded there for year were any differ
ent from the child who detained only over
night
Finally, a secretary, in making out an annual
report discovered the truth and the little prisoner
was placed in a better environment.
The town where this happened is generous in
its support of all welfare work for children,
whether public or private. But there as in other
cities of the country the growth of institutions for
children has not kept pace with the growth OF
population. And leftover children, usually tiny
derects OF divorce cases. have to be placed in odd
corners Of institutions built for other purposes
where they are liable to be overlooked.
And now-just give Somebody's chd"-that
precious mite of which you the proud parent,
or dotng grandparent, admiring uncle aunt
just give this very important atom of humanity the
once over.
"Nobody's child" would be just as sweet, just
as cute just smart-if it only had fair chance.
The modern way OF giving it a chance is to
take it out of the public refuge and make it some
body's child" by adoption.
Almost every city has its child placing depart
ment always with plenty OF winsome babies to
place
Whoever adopts OF them not only benefits
himself and the child, but he also relieves the pres
overcrowded public institutions, and makes
therein for more OF the failing
crop of "nobody's children" preventing, perhaps,
such useless pathetic tragedies the above
related.
The Washington herald., 1918-03-21
Washington Should Have 1t.

Just reminder to those in power that the two
platoon system for fremcn which the Herald has
advocated for some months, is not hazard but
a proven state OF efficiency
In 1910 under the Continuous OF duty
system which prevails there, Chicagos FIRE loss
was $36o4388. Last year in spite OF the added
hazards OF the war, as shown by increase OF
SIooooo,ooo throughout the country, Chicagos loss
was cut to S2,785,887. reduction OF 20 per cent.
The health OF the hremen increased
markable degree. The average loss to the city
from sickness was from 2.68 days to I.27,
duction OF than 90 per cent Trial board
cases dropped from u to a 80 per cent.
Under the old system fireman had day
off in fve, four hours day for meals, thirty-six
hours a month OF special leave and six hours
day for sleep, a grand total of 48o hours a month.
The fireman has time off for meals under the
twO-platoon system he breakfasts before reach
ing his station, brings his lunch and dimes after
quitting. He has fourteen hours a day off from
duty a total OF 42o hours month"; saving sixty
hours
The two-platoon system has already been
cessully established in thirty cities OF the United
States, and in view OF its indisputable in
Chicago, it should be made universal.
At any rate, Washington should have it.
