the thing for them to do was 10 Try TO
perfect the work of the nursery at II

fare OF very little babies and the prob
lem OF keeping the child over SIX years
For among the many distressing calls
constantly coming TO the president ana
the super lntendent were so many from
people beseeching them to care for
babies under one year that the board
decided, as Miss HasSinG had sisniflcd
her willingness 10 care for these BABES
and wanted to give it a trial. tnat she
be permitted to do so. The old rule 'lS"
read that no child could be kept In tn"
nursery over six years. Ore child in
the nursery, Il boy had reached that age;
the president feeling II serious matter
to nut a child of that age out IN the
world with no one TO look after him,
the board voted that when ii was pos
Sible, children over SIX years or age
be kept in the nursery until they could
otherwise be provided for.
In March Miss Hassg reported II
children in the nursery deserted ny one
parent; one. deserted by both PARENTS;
eight deserted by father; thrc" by
mother, while 6S were supported wholly
by tie board.

The case Of the Lewis children WAS

Never before have there been more
calls on the nursery TO take in older
and Younger children. Not long since
someone said until the Kings Daugh

little babies there was no place in
Wheeling TO put them Now the board
is limited by the capacity OF the nur-
