Question of Child Placing Most

BY REV. J, HENNING NELMs,
Pastor of the Church of the Ascension

''While 1 am unfamiliar with the Greer case, the
statements published in The Times proves that this
city needs immediate and adequate laws for child
placing.
''The only solution to the problem in my mind is to
build institutions in which to place the hundreds of
orphans. Such institutions needed and needed badly

such institutions for many years Anything do for

immediate attention. for it the welfare of

With all these committees function

maintained that would bring the

The strain of his intensive applica-

telling on the President. The last

PUT OFF PEACE SESSION
TO SPEED UP WORK ON
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

PARIS, Feb THE usual pIenary
session was postponed today to per-
nit the peace bureau to speed I'D
action on the framework for the
League of Nations.
President Wilson conferred with
Lord Cecil and General Smuts until
late last night. comparing the Ameri-
can plan for the league of nations
with their respective outlines. that
the whole proposition may be put in
shape for presentation to the peace
congress next week
The belief was expressed in certain
quarters that demonstration Of the
practicability OF the league, as
evinced in several recent decisions
by the bureau, would hasten agree
ment on the details Of its make I'D.
The German colonial question was
virtually settled in accordance with
principles of the league. Previously
the bureau had acted in the capacity
Of an association OF nations In warn
ing central and eastern European
countries to cease warning over dis
puted territories. The bureau as
sumed similar capacity yesterday
when ii decided to send delegates to
9traighten out the argument between
the Czechs and the Poles over possess
sIOh Ol tHdt IiCn luuuslTlal district.
A queer tangle has developed in
the relations Of the CZechs and Poles,
in that their representatives are sit
ting a; the same peace conference to
arrange a treaty with a common
enemy. yet there are outbursts OF
lighting between their own troops
over the question of readjustments OF
their new boundaries. a temporary
settlement by the allied commission
will be followed by final settlement
by the league OF nations, when the
latter institution is formally estab-
lishcd.

There are a number of character wit
nesses to be called by the defense.
The Washington times., 1919-02-01

Aside from the religious training, which is the
foundation of noble character provision must be made
for the proper physical and mental training of the
orphan child.
There is much to be said in favor of placing chill
dren in homes where children desired. No child
should ever be allowed by any orphanage chdren's
organization to be sent during the plastic period of child
life into home where they desired to profit by the
chld's labor The acceptance of references and state
authorities of the chldrens institution at par without
personal investigation by its officers is mistake
In some instances it is bunder and crime because it
takes from the child opportunity for around de-
velopment of its character and talents

then the environment

"Do they appear to you as if they

were sewed in them?" asked the at
torney
"Oh. ] guess So" she said. You

with them after they left me.
Saw Children With Towels.
DO you know whether the chill
dren ever had them or not?" de
manded the attorney.
Il have seen them going TO battle
with towels on their arms that ! had
worked on" she replied.
Asked how she thought the Greers
treated the children, she answered:
THE Greers saw that the children
were properly clothed. fed and given
medical attention. They took an in

up as II they were their own children,
