" ~
men, clerks, mechanics, farmers and
their wives and others who have &C
quired properly and filled positions Of
honor and trust"
Among the American forces sent
overseas. 1t is pointed out IN the re-
port, are twelve commissioned Off.
GERS and about 1000 soldiers and sail
ors who were once wards OF the Chill
dren's Aid Society. All were rescued
from the streets or from asylums and
corrective institutions.
The society, since its foundation on
January 9, 1855. has placed 32,0S1 or
phans and deserted children In good
homes in the country where many of
them were later adopted. In addition
SLAP older boys and girls have been
sent to farms in the West where they
have been put on their feet and, be-
coming owners of ranches. have shown
their appreciation in later years by
taking orphans into their homes.
It has been estimated that the cost
OF salvaging child from the streets.
according to the plan OF the society,
is $50 which not only defrays the cost
of placing the youngster in comfort
able country home but provides for
supervision so long as 1t Is necessary.
The society keeps in touch with the
boys or girls thus sent out and has on
file thousands Of grateful letters writ
ten by them after they have grown to
manhood and womanhood.
An instance Of this gratitude was af-
forded in the report for 1918 OF Ed
win G. Merrill, treasurer Of the socie.
t., who acknowledged bequest OF
$4,000 from the estate Of DR.. Michael
A. Jordan, physician and educator OF
Logansport, Indiana. DR.. Jordan many
years ago was a friendless orphan in
New York city and was befriended by
the Children's Aid Society. Many sim
liar legacies from former wards have
been left to the organization in the
past.
