the children is of average quality.
When a home falls below Grade
Three, it is sometimes put on a short
probation, but the license is usually
revoked at once. A number of the
homes now classified in the second
grade were marked by the agents
second grade or better" In certain
of these. single factor, perhaps
great remoteness from school. church
and physician, keeps the home out Of
the first class. 1t should be borne in
mind that no one agent sees all the
homes and that the grading is done
by 10 visitors, so that it may not be
, precisely uniform.
1T is hoped that all boarding
homes will aspire to the graded in the
first rank and many that are not now
so graded could achieve this distinc-
ton by having better system in the
home management. The agents of the
Board stand ready to advise the
boarding mothers of the ways in
which they can improve the excel
lence of their homes.
I'm times past the boarding of chill
dren was not regarded as high en-
| terprise, but simply as a means of
making little money.
1.-THE boarding of children has been
placed on much higher professional
basis within the last year, and it is
hoped that progress will continue.
Every licensed home is regarded as a
public institution, though on a small
scale, and is open to inspection by the
States agents at any and all times.
In this way, the welfare of the chill
dren is guarded and the abuses
which sometimes in the past have
been known to exist in boarding
homes are done away with.
Before issuing license to solicit
funds for charitable or benevolent
purposes, the Board carefully assures
itself that the organization will con-
form to all conditions. In the case
of organizations whose place of bust
ness is outside the State, the Board
avails itself or the National Investi-
cation Bureau of New York City, an
organization especially equipped for
the investigation of the standing of
corporations and societies working in
more than one state.''
