 REPORT OF TREASURER
 The treasuer of the society, J. R. Rice, submitted report showing that about $10,000 in round numbers has actually been paid into the treasury and that pledges and contributions which are in the hands of the various county chairmen amounted to s500o more.
 With half the state still to respond to this cause those present were en- thusiastic in feeling that the appeal for $30000 from the whole state would not fail, even though the time Of covering the state has necessarily been extended It was not felt by the of- ficers and those present at the meet ing that the small amount being asked 1 for in the various towns would con flict with the larger and more generalI appeals that are being made throughout the state
 The report of the state superintend- ent. submitted for the month of Oc- tober. was full of interesting data showing the work and the broadening l of the societys efforts. The society | cared for a total of 415 children; over | 200 have been permanently placed in i family homes. lover 50 children were in the appeals which were made to us during the month" said Mr. Barrow Five were infants under | two. Four, were the mature type of boys and girls over Is who are adrift and largely cast off from their broken homes. The great bulk of the children. however, were in that appealing and helpless age group between two and 12' Seven little fellows have been placed out at board partly at our ex- pense and partly at the expense of their relatives Five fine little fellows II have been gotten ready and have beer \ placed. or replaced. in normal func- tioning family homes.
 PLACED IN SCHOOLS
 TWO of the older children" continued MT. Barrow. have been placed in spe- cial schools-one at our expense at Boaz, and the other at the expense of his father. Another girl among these older ones we are today prepar- ! ing to enter a special boarding school ! Four children, two families of orphan brothers and sisters. after several trips I and thorough investigation, were con Eentedly placed with capable relS tives."
