Charities and Corrections

The State Board Of Charities and
Corrections has become convinced
that the licensed boarding homes for
children and maternity hospitals re-
quire a more careful supervision
than has been given and to that end
for it's part has begun operations.
The board has directed all agents
for the protection of children TO visit
all licensed boarding homes and IL
censed maternity hospitals in their
county at least once a quarter and
make report to the board Of the con-
ditions found. The agents may ar
range the visits at their own con-
vcnience, but the board suggests
that they be at irregular intervals so
timed as to be likely to give a good
idea Of the standard of care, SANTA
ton and dicipline Of the places UNI
der all conditions.
The boards supervisors will also
as opportunity offers, visit these
Ilaces, TO the end that definite stand
ards may gradually be esta blished
throughout the State.
Agents are also instructed. in jim
,estigating and reporting on applica
tons for new licenses, always to in
terview the overseers of the poor and
obtain their views as to the desira :
bity of granting the licenses The
superintendent of schools should al
So be interviewed to ascertain the at
titude of the school authorities in
relation to admitting these children
so boa rded to the public schools.
