BOARD OF CHILDREN'S I
GUARDIANS REPORT
SHOWS WORK OF 1920

Figures showing the work accom-
plished by the Board of Children's
Guardians in the last three months
are included in the report of the Octo-
Der term of circuit court, recently
completed.
The plan of action suggested by
Judge Bond for handling cases of this
sort, including domestic troubles, fs
now in active operation. This plan
consists of having some competent
person visit the home at regular in
tervals. This person is an officer of
the court, and the principal object in
making these visits is to teach par
ents and children the proper ideals of
citizenship and to assist them in I'M
derstanding their proper relationship
to society.
One hundred and eleven civil cases
were disposed of during the October
term of court. In the juvenile court
1877 cases were investigated by proba-
ton officers; SO juveniles and so par
ents brought before the court; Is chill
dren returned to their parents; 20
placed in private homes; 20 in the
Home for the Friendless; IL in
Whites Institute at Wabash; and IS
children made wards of the Board of
Children's Guardians.
Return Children
Eleven runaway children from
Wayne county and elsewhere were re-
turned to their homes. Twenty-one
fathers were ordered to furnish their
children with proper support. Six
girls and five boys were sent to the
Indiana girls and boys schools for
training
Whites Institute, at Wabash, re-
leased IL children who were returned
to this county and 16 were taken out
Of the Home for the Friendless.
The figures quoted above give some
idea Of the amount of work being done
by the board Of ehildren's guardians
and the juvenile court and show the
actual good being done by these or
CARNATIONS each day.
Dispose Of Civil Cases
Thirty estates were opened and 80
closed during the October term. Thir-
teen guardianships were opened and
II closed in the same period.
The general report for the term
shows that Ill civil cases were dis
posed of. An unusually large number
of civil cases were filed during this
period the number amounting to 207.
of this number, however, approx
| mately 20 were claims filed in con-
| nection with the Milton bank failure.

ever, to have committee of citizens

ganization.
A representative gathering was
present at the Sunday meeting. Both
S. Edgar Nicholson and Harry X.

ana state organization of the European
Relief Council, made addresses. Mr..

1t was brought out that $40 will feed
a child until the next harvest. This
was explained by Mr.. Nicholson as
Sufficient to purchase the kinds of
foods that children need. but which
are not available in the European
countries"

the concensus of opinion at the meet
ing Sunday, that this was much less
than Richmond and Wayne county
should give. Mr.. Nicholson said that
I'D until the middle of last week, S11.
100000 had already heen subscribed
to the total goal. Each state, he
said, now has an organization, and
prospects are very encouraging.
Plans for receiving the gifts of 10,

- dav or two of the campaign tables
be nlaced at advantageous locations
