the entire year have had the un-
stinted support of very loyal board
so much so that the singing out Of
any special name would be an in
| Justice to the other, The board meet
| ings have been held with the regu-
larity never before eaualled; the in
terest in the organization always keen
and up to high pitch. with discus
sions sincere and frank on all ques
| tions.
With an executive board of such
qualities Il superintendent Of unQues-
toned skill and ability, and an office
staff working in harmony. and with It
all, keen desire to WORK for the
common cause, there is little wonder
that the accomplishments of 1920
stand out forcibly as an example Of
what can be done when interest and
sincerity work hand in hand. Like
all Cha ritable Agencies, cannot com
plain of an abundance of monies with
which to carry on our Indispensable
work. AS you know. we are affiliated
with the Denver Federation of Charity
and Philanthropy. We get from them
our funds. All contributions to our
organization go to them. However, by
2 gradual education. let us hope that
the time is not far distant when this
state of affairs will no longer exist.
and that likewise the time is near
when all the people Of our city will rec
ognize the sources from which. the
funds come for the care of the poor. II
is not religious proposition, and
the Federated Charities is the best
method for the care of our distressed.
until such time as the State or City
and County may see fit to take care
of this complexed problem by a, State
or County levy for all Charitable In
stitutions. Then and then only will W.
be able to reach those who now are on
ly too successful in escaping their JUS
share of the burden, and who when
they are reached. give far less than
their proper proportion.
But while millennium can never be
ing towards nearer abode to its
border, and l hope that at no far dis
tant time charity to the needy will be
given the attention by the state that
it so essentially requires; and to the
end that all eleemosynary institutions
shall be given adequate financial as
sistance, a state of affairs so neces
sary, yet so impossible to reach by
any other route. ..
During the year I have visited
many, If not all, Of the various insti
tutions, such as the Meeker school for
feeble minded, Detention HOme fol-
wayward Girls, Industrial school fol
boys, etc. so as to have fair knowl
edge Of the kind Of work that is being
done thru the various Charitable or
ganizations. During the year nutri.
tiOnal instruction was conducted
among the parents of the children of
the Cheltenham school for the preven.
tiOn of Tuberculosis. Also there was
done periodically weighing and meas
uring Of the children to keep them IL
normal physical condition. For thi,
work, we are indebted to Mrs J
Grimes, who donated 500 in memory
Of her mother. We are likewise deep
Iy indebted to the two national hos
pitals; to our Jewish physicians and
dentists. to the Visiting Nurses Az
sociatiOn, Jewish Attorneys Of Denver
for their willingness at all times to
effectively cooperate with any work
that we had within their particula!
scope.

goes out to that noble band Of womel
