ARIZONA'S HUMANITARIAN
SYSTEM OF CARING FOR
IT'S ORPHAN CHILDREN

Finding homes for orphan children
Is the job of the State Welfare
Board, department of the state ad
ministration that is giving the lie to
he statement that governments, like
corporations, are without soul. Under
the active direction of three of Ari-
zona's exponents of noble woman
hood, the Welfare Board is not only
finding homes, but good homes for
the little ones who have been denied
mothers care or fathers support.
The plan of operation is a step
forward in the humanitarian aspect
of state government in Arizona. 1t
is years ahead of the old plan OF
picking up the fatherless and moth
erless little ones and setting them
down In a state institution, there to
be reared on cold porrage and cold
or discipline.
And despite the fact that more
homes and better homes are being
found and more children being cared
for than ever before, the taxpayers
are paying less for the service. The
first appropriation for the Child's
Welfare Work was $4,000 plus
$4,000 for overhead expenses, or a
total of $4,000 for the two year
period, during which 1896 children
were cared for. Through an over
sight in the wording of the appropria-
tion bill passed by the last Legisla-
ture, the appropriation for the De-
partment was cut to $29,4OO, -and yet,
despite the loss of this sorely need
ed $500, the Board has been caring
for 400 orphans and half orphans
Stop and consider this last figure
for moment. Imagine single in
stitution housing 400 children of all
ages. Would it, or could it be main
tanned for anything less than four
times the figure on which the Child
Welfare Board is handling its work ?
The Arizona system of orphan
care is to place the child in a real
home, where it will receive the
touch of maternal tenderness to
which every child is entitled. If the
child is without either father or
mother, the Board makes it a busi-
ness of finding for the child foster
home with ideal surroundings.
Eight new homes of this character
have been found for Arizona waits
during the last year and half. II
the child is without a father, the
child is placed with the mother
wherever possible, and to her is Civ
en- the compensation allowance which
the State makes for food and cloth
ing for the child.
The work Of the Board Is carried
on through the active assistance and
cooperation of the State Courts and
County Welfare Boards, the mem
bers of which are named by the
Judges of the Superior Courts. The

UNCLE TED'S
BEDTIME STORIES
OUR STATE DEPARTMENT AND
SECRETARY HUGHES

1t had rained almost steadily for
five days. As everyone knows, chill
dren, especially as full of pep and fun
as Ruth and Jack, are hard enough to
control in good weather, but these
past few days, they had just about
made their mother wonder what she
could possibly do to amuse them, so
long as they could not go out in the
pouring rain.
And then, joy of joys, they all
awOke the next morning to find the
sun as bright as it ever could be; the
robins were singing and the whole
world seemed to be the brightest, nice
est place possible.
It was no wonder that it was a joy
to see the sun, for the first circus of
the year was arriving that morning
and mother had promised that if the
weather was nice they could get up
early and go down to see the great
train with it's many wagons pull into
town. So it was that they watched
the circus arrive, were back home for
breakfast and off TO school. The
school authorities surely were nice
for they let the children OF for The
afternoon so that everyone could go
to the circus.
Never had there been such day.
Uncle Ted, with Ruth on one arm and
Jack on the other, was beaming from

dent of the local public schools.

They have camped on a part Of the
Richard Paynter farm, near Midway,
and put up tents and sheds for the
mules. Progress is now being made on
the proposed road. The course which

ear to ear as they entered the menag-
erie tent on their way to the Big
Show To the onlOoker, Uncle Ted
was having just as much fun as the
kiddies, and perhaps a little bit more.
But all days must end and finally
after supper, Ruth and Jack were all
ready for bed and Uncle Ted was
reading the evening paper. They were
so filled with the excitement of the
day that immediate sleep was out of
the question. They didn't much want
to talk about anything but the clowns
and animals and they also wanted to
stay up awhile. So they begged Uncle
Ted for a story.
"Ill tell you a story" he replied,
"but it won't be about a circus. You
have had enough of that for one day.
l want to tell you about our great
Department of State at Washington,
now presided over by Charles e.
Hughes, one of the greatest of all liv-
ing Americans, a man who has the re-
spect of the entire world He has a
most responsible position.
From two small rooms in the he
ginning, the State Department today
fills more than half of the great
State, War and Navy building, really
the State and War building now be-
cause the Navy Department occupies
another building More than 600 per-
sons are employed by this department
in Washington and between three and
four thousand abroad. When we stop
to consider that the Secretary of State
must conduct all business of the Unit
ed States with foreign countries, we
get some idea of the extent and re-
sponsibility of his work. To help him
with this work are the Undersecre-
tary of State and three Assistant Sec
the Director Of the Consular
Service; the Chief Clerk; the SOlici-
tor. Economic Adviser; chiefs Of the
Milford chronicle., 1924-05-23

divisions of Far Eastern Affairs
Mexican Affairs; Eastern European
Affairs; Near Eastern Affairs; Latin
American Affairs; Passport Control;
Western European Affairs; Publica-
tiOns; Political and Economic Infor-
nation, and Current Information.
Then there are the great Consular
and Diplomatic bureaus under whose
control come all of the consuls and
diplomats throughout the world who
represent the United States.
THE first organized department to
handle this business was established
in 1871 when Congress created the De-
partment of Foreign Affairs with Rob-
ert R. Livingston as secretary. The
first Secretary of State was Thomas
Jefferson, who was named in 1889. He
took up his work in 1890, travelling
from Virginia to New York. In those
days he had many duties to perform
that have long since been transferred
to other Government departments,
such as the census, the copyrights
laws, territorial affairs and patents.
1T is interesting kiddies, to note
that Thomas Jefferson while Secre-
tary of State, started the first mint,
the mint being a place where our
coins are made. Today the United
States has diplomatic missions in 81
countries with twelve of these headed
by ambassadors, the highest diplomat
ic rank there is. There are 81 minis
ters in the smaller countries.
"The present head of the Depart
ment of State, Mr.. Hughes, has the
happy combination of a great legal
mind plus an unusual diplomatic abil-
ity. You know he served on the Su-
preme Court of the United States. No
man ever more ably presided over any
body than did Mr.. Hughes when he
was Chairman of the Conference on
the Limitation of Armaments held in
Milford chronicle., 1924-05-23

Washington and called together by
the late President Harding.
"One of the busiest sections of the
Department of State is the Passport
Pn:eau. especially at this time of the
year, when so many people are going
to Europe. You see, before you can
leave the United States, except for
such places as Canada and Mexico
and Cuba, you must obtain passport
which contains a record of your birth
and all sorts of information about
you togetho' with your picture. In
1928, more than $4,000 citizens applied
for passports.
"Those of us who are comfortably
situated at home, little realize what it
is to be alone, and worse to be strand
cd, in foreign country without funds
or friends TLen the representatives
o fcuI GOvernn ent, those men who
wCIk under the Department of State,
arc real friends. List year alone there
were about $4,000 such cases that did
not include any of the sailors to whom
relief was given.
'In times of stress in foreign cOUn-
tries, American cO1suls are always on
the job. During the recent earthquake
and fire in Japan, it was the American
Embassy at Toxic, through which re-
lief was given not only to Americans
caught in the catastrophe but the jap
anese as we'll. There is no more far
reaching or important department of
our Government and you can do well
to read all you can of this interesting
service.
"Now with the long circus day and
this story I should think you both
would welcome the sand man. So on
to bed and we will have another story
soon. Goodnight"
