Eleven hundred children and ap-

8. r. Fullerton, the state secretary OF
the Minnesota Society for the Pre-

ganization follows the general trend
OF similar organizations in other
states, and is represented in large
number of counties in Minnesota St
Louis, Hennepin, Ramsey, Rice. and
Douglas have societies of that nature
especially well organized.
The law in Minnesota provides that
the board of county commissioners
may appropriate sum as large as
$1,000 for the support of county
society for the prevention of cruelty.
Ten citizens of county upon meet
ing may form such society in the
county and appoint an agent. The

of a police officer, may enter and
search any premises upon warrant.
