In the history of the work has there
played to our unfortunate people than
at this time, when the world was to

we did not know that during all of the
centuries the Lord has been mindful of

He had deserted them. But our faith

Joint Distribution Committee in all of
its work They will probably under
take an extensive campaign for home

from abroad. That work is important
and essential. Our Jewish settle
mcnts and other institutions for such
work must be thoroly organized to take
up this work from the hands of the
immigration Committee and you can
not separate this work from the work
of your Philanthropy Committee.
"rhe work of Americanization is
also being done by the Immigrant Aid
Department, but it can never be ac-

the Philanthropy. Education and Re-

THE tuberculosis problems which al
ways confront us is also greater than
ever All of the institutions of the
United States are encountering a con-
dition that has never before existed.
viz: that almost every case that ap-
plies for admission to an institution is
an advanced case. Just how this can
be accounted for, we do not know.
However more advanced ceases mean
more nurses, more doctors and very
much larger expenditure of money.

would recommend to the Philanthropy
Committee for the coming Triennial
period is the work Of home finding for
children.
'Ihe question of child labor should
be part of this program. While
many of our states absolutely prohibit
the labor of young children, others have
very lax laws in this respect. We

There were times more mothers under 2l than fathers. The greater number of both fathers and mothers were under 30 But after 90, the fathers began 10 shine. Nearly half as many again of men were. parents between the ages Of 30 and 40. And after 40. the women recede dismally. There were only 50 mothers over 10 while there were more than five times that many ancient fathers.
 Of first born. there were 4s5 babies 27 per cent of the whole. In fam lilies of from to children, s41 babies were born, 52 per cent of the whoe. There were S05 babies, IS per cent. in families of from 6 to 10 children. In families of over 10 chi!- dren, 15 babies, .05 per cent Of the whole were born. These figures make it evident that race suicide is not one of the vices Arizona needs fear.
 A record of deaths shows that 6s babies were stillborn. In other words. one in 2s babies were born dead Also 2SS died in the first year. This indicates that 2 in every I3 babies died before they were year old while the rate for the registra. tion area of the country is in 22 in 1917 and 2 in 20 in 1918. The deplorable fact is that many of these deaths could have been prevented.
