Mis- Jennie Coulter established her
childrehs mission twelve years ago
and has accomplished wonderful
amount of good. Ten years ago, she
tried the day nursery plan, but at
that time it seemed impossible TO

became success.
The day nursery is one mos:

keeping their children instead OF
having the little groups broken up

When New York had boxing under
