RESCUE HOMES GIVE AID
TO MANY YOUNG GIRLS

Of 795 girls in the rescue homes In
Armenia. about one-fourth have their
babies with them in the homes. Many
more girls have been assisted by Near
East Relief workers within or with
out of these Rescue Homes. 1t is be-
lieved that larger number than is
now registered in the homes have been
sheltered and then passed on to their
friends, or have contracted honorable
marriages. The initial shelter stage
has passed for the greatest number
and yet each home is a known refuge
in it's district for young women OF
Christian origin who may make their
escape from a Moslem harem. The
existence of such a place is an en-
enlargement to many, and some who
are well-to-do offer to pay their ex'
penses. There is every reason to be-
lieve that there are yet great numbers
of Christian women and girls detained
in Moslem homes who would gladly
make their escape and who will do so
as political conditions favor or indi-
vidual opportunities offer.
The confidence and sympathy shown
by Americans has had wonderful eff
feet on restoring self-respect and de-
sire to live in these girls. Many rep
resent fine type of honorable woman.

the direction of Miss Rummel and Miss
Chainey showed good training Their
work was credit to themselves and to
their teachers The address by Prof j.
0. Frank of the Oshkosh State Normal
school was of high class. He showed
a wide knowledge of problems arising
from the effort to psoyide education for
all free of cost, and plead for cooper
alton between home and school, While
Prof. Frank is not an orator he gave a
good practical talk, touching vital sub
jects in schoo. work We shall be glad

One lady said, 81 am glad to assist

makes schools strong, and, when it is
general in community, the place soon
becomes one in which teachers like to
work.

given after which the people listened
