KENTUCKY CHILDREN's HOME
SOCIETY TO BUILD NEW
HOME

The work Of the Kentucky Chill
dren's Home Society Is to care for
destitute children from all parts Of
the State, who are sent to IL by the
various county judges. The time has
come when the present home in Louis
vile Is not large enough to accom-
modate the many suffering children
in Kentucky who are daily asking to
be admitted, and in order to help
them the Society is engaged in a
Statewide campaign to raise funds
with which TO build an institution
adequate to the needs Of the State.
The present buildings, in a crowd
ed district on Baxter Avenue in
Louisville, can comfortably house $50
children. There have been as many
as 240 in the Home. Today there
are some 1876 children in the receiv-
ing home, since II is well-nigh i'm
possible to keep the number down,
when the urgent appeals from suffer-
ing, starving children in Kentucky
come daily. There are also about
100 children in good homes in var
ious parts Of the State under the
Society's supervision. That means
they are visited at least once a year
by agents to make sure they are be-
ing treated as a member of the fam.
lily, are being sent to school and CIV
en- some religious instruction. II
conditions are not as they should be
in the homes, the children are imme-
diately removed.
The new home is to be located on
an eighty-six-acre farm, ten miles
east Of Louisville. 1t is to be built
on the cottage plan, and will give
refuge to at least 300 waits. There
will be plenty of room for additional
buildings as the need arises. The
land will be cultivated by the older
boys and fruits and vegetables for
the table will be raised. The older
girls will be instructed in domestic
arts, and all Of the children will be
given useful, wholesome employment
to develop their minds and bodies.
There will be ample Fairgrounds
whereas now the youngsters are
forced to spend much of their time
indoors in idleness.
The school children of the State
are asked to raise money for building
this home for their less fortunate
brothers and sisters of Kentucky
Madison county's quota is $1,000,
about one-fifth of which has been
raised. This week a campaign is on
