CH|LDRFN'S HOME
ASSOCIATION OF
ARIZONA

soclat1on is a non-sectarian, nom
political, charitable institution. and
is supported by the donat ations of the
business. professional and charitable
people OF Arizona, irrespective of
religious or political affiliations.
Thls association was organized in
tucson in 1915, having been started
several years before in connection
with The Children'sl Home Society
OF California. by Dr. Gunnett. who
did great work for the homeless
children of Arizona; but, after the
ARIZONA Ch1ldren's Home Associa-
ton was organized he turned all the
Arizona work over to that Associa-
ton and requested all those who had
been supporting the California work
to make their donations in their own
State.
After the Arizona Association was
organized e. D. Raley was appoint
ed State superintendent and was
succeeded by w. l.. Summers. who
resigned September. 1921, to assist
the California Society.
ID. L.fReid is now State Superin-
tendent and is travelling over the
State in the interest Of the Child
, ren's Home of the homeless child
rem, and is the only person author
lied to represent the Home through
out the State. 1t is the aim of the
Association to organize local Asso-
citation in every County in the State,
and every town of sufficient size.
These local Association, as they are
now doing in many places, will be
of great help to the cause of home
less children and be of great SER
vice to the State Board of Directors
and the State Superintendent i'm
their work of finding these children
and finding childless homes in which
to have them adopted They are, al
SO, doing good work in raising
funds, by entertainments, for furn-
ishing the new Home and adding
new facilities for the work.
The Association had to depend on
q rented and inadequate Home for
six years: but last year succeeded
in building nice, modern Home,
costing $35,280.00 on which s27,2SO,-
90 was paid before we moved into
it, December %, 1921.
Anither $1,O0000 has been paid
recently, leaving only 100000 debt
remaining. All this money has been
donated by the liberal people of Ari-
zona besides. $11.2S046 was raised
IN 1921 to support the Home, Of
which there remained. $466.77 in the
treasury at the end of the year. The
Home cared for 206 children in 1921
and had 81 in the Home at the end
Of the year. Since moving into the
New Home we have had as many as
As at one time; but, the number is
constantly changing, as new ones
are taken in almost every month and
others arc taken to good homes for
adoption.
The Arizona Children's Home As
sOciatjon desires the newspapers OF
the State to call the attention Of the
people to the fact that the liberal
and charitable people of Arizona are
being imposed upon by organiza-
ticns and workers for these associa-
tions in other states. Recently II
has come to the Association through
reliable sources that the represent
atives of Children's Homes or Orph-
ages of various kinds have been in
New Mexico and Colorado, II not
/ from other states, raising money for
| their institutions. Some of them
have so represented their work that
even people who know the Arizona
Childrens Home Association we'll.
thought they were working for our
institution.
Because of health conditions OF
| Arizona the people of this state do
more than their share according tn
! the population for the sick and
+ needy people from other states and
! it is double imposition on the people
Of Arizona to be expected to help
support these institutions in other
states in addition to all they are
called upon to give to the Near East
Relief and the European and China
Famine sufferers.
This Association does not send its
Superintendent into other states tn
collect funds for their work: then
why should others be permitted to
take money out of this State that
should be given for the care OF the
homeless children of Arizona?
| Respectfully.
