PLACING OUT AND HOW ACCOM-
PLISHED.

1t is the effort of the Management
on receiving dependent children to find
for them as soon as possible home
in private family; children under the
age Of seven years for legal adoption,
and overIhat age under an agreement
that they shall be schooled and cared
for until they arrive at the age OF ma
jority. Hundreds of children who have
never known a mothers love have been
adopted by people in good circum-
stances and today there are many who
have grown up and become profess
siohal men, and others who have mar
ried into good families.

ditions we have them fill out blank

In the story of King Arthur by
Miss Mulock, the pleasure that comes
from receiving and caring for fos-
ter child is beautifully portrayed, and
venture to quote the following
passages: "The fact of an adopted
child did not strike these innocent
villagers as anything remarkable
They only thought it was uncommon
kind of Mrs Trevena, and hoped
she would be, rewarded for her char
ity.' Charity! She laughed at the
word Charity had nothing at all to
do with it, A child in the house
it was a joy inearnate---a blessing
unspeakable---a consolation without
end. She did her duties, neither
light nor few but through them all
she Rugged herself in her secret
bliss. She used to think of it as she
walked, MS she .ehatted to her neigh
bors and often as she sat in church.
My little feet---lny little hand That
morbid elf-contempIation, if not ac-
tual selfishness, which is apt to grow
upon spinsters and childless wives
upon almost all women who have ar
rived at middle age without know
ing the baby fingers waXen touches
which press all bitterness out OF the
mothers breast--yanish into thin air.
It could not exist amidst the whole
some practicability of nursery life.
Later on, when the child had been
with her some years, the verdict was,
She knew herself to be a better wo-
man. and certainly her husband was
no worse man. nor a less happy man,
for having that bit of continual sun
shine--a child in the house"
1t may be that this appeal will not
come directly under the attention of
many to whom it might apply, but
every reader can help this movement
in some way, and by each one advo-
eating in their own sphere the claims
of the homeless child, doors and
hearts will be opened and a great
work made possible.

SOMETHING YOU CAN DO.

In these days of liberal charity
there is the danger of providing for
homeless children expensive institu-
tions, instead of-what they need most
"a share in some good womans love,
and a place in her home. There is no
grander work than this possible-no
work in which the reward of the great
Friend of children will more surely
follow-and il is one in which even
the humblest may have share. A
woman came to the Shelter one day in
search of a child whom she could
love- Several bright. healthy chill
dreh were shown her, but she passed
them over until she came to deli

spoke doubtfully, THAT IS the child

it back to health" And she did her
part faithfully. so that the achild is
now no longer ailing, but is happy and
strong, and grateful for the love sc
freely bestowed upon it. There are
many such children who might be
nursed back into health, both mora
and physical and their hearts pine
for the love Of which they are so un-
Justly deprived. Let those whom Goo
has blessed think of this, for the Mas
ter in the form or little child Is
knocking at their door,
II only the homes of the people
were more frequently opened to the
cry of the children, this blessed worl
of child saving would work revula

loveless lives would be removed. MOI
would all the advantages be on thu
side of the child---for no good deet
is ever done in sincerity without {

vicinity recommending applicant as
suitable to have a child from this
Society.
The answers to the above questions
should give one good idea OF the kind
of home the child will enter. In ad-
dition to this we also communicate
with some other person known to our
selves and disintercsted, residing in
their neighborhood. Then, IL possible,
we have our agent visit the home be-
fore placing, but If this is not possible,
we visit the child as soon as we can
after placement. If our investigation
Is satisfactory the child is sent TO the
applicant under wide-open agree
ment that If the child does not suit
them they have the power to return
il to the Home, and if the officers of
the Society become dissatisfied with
the home they in turn have the power
to recall il to the Receiving Home.
Thus, IL can be seen that all preeau-
lions are taken to insure the placing
of the child in a good home

CHILD WELFARE,

The human scrap heap is the des-
pair of the American municipality. 1t
Is composed of criminals, invalids, ig-
norant and uneduipped workers, pau-
pers, degenerdtes, loafers.
We are beyond the age when this
scrap heap of failures can be charged
to the individuals which made il up.
1t is not a scrap heap Of failures. but
one of failure--the failure of the state
to protect chiIdren-the pitifuf waste
in the manufacture of citizens from
babes. Child Welfare" Is not fad
