In the fourth group are states
whose Welfare agencies are under an
unpaid board which employs a COM
missioner and an administrator. New

New Hampshire has a somewhat
similar organization. The southern
states are much behind the northern
in their development of social well
; fare organization. Their tendency is
individual boards and more recent
development is the supervisory
board. Both of the Carolinas and
Georgia have in the last few years
developed very efficient supervisory
boards. Indiana is state whose,
progress has always been abreast Of
the times. It's organization is of the
individual board and supervisory
board type.
In the second group Massachusetts,
now has department of mental
hygiene a department of corrections,
a department of public welfare and
a department OF. health.
New York has been feeling the de-
mand of the times but constitutional
limitations have prevented any ac-

very simple. A commission Of three

tertainment and exhibition at City hall
Tuesday afternoon. The little folks
presented an admirable program and
did credit to themselves in the way
they rendered the different numbers.
Parents and citizens in general should
have given better support at this time
as the attractive exhibits around the
hall surprised the older genera ton
who were present by the careful work
manship of the children. Surely Hal
lowell citizenry was conspicuous by
its absence and thereby missed a good
thing.
