In 1916 he went to the Mexican

guardian of children committed to it
by the courts. 1t is required to in
vestigate all homes where children
are placed for permanent care OF
adoption.
In the ten years since January J.,
1918, there has come to the atten-
ton of the Board 1859 cases of IL
legitimate children, 3,O74 placements,
3,917 petitions for adoptions, 5,77O
miscellaneous cases of which 300 are
cases of guardianship, 1851 commit
ments of feeble minded persons and
9OS inquiries. At the present time
the Children's Bureau is working on
11,34O active cases. Annually it has
licensed approximately 200 maternity
hospitals, % children's institutions,
Is child placing agencies and since
1928, annually, it has passed upon
the fitness of approximately 1000
boarding homes.
This work is carried on for the
Board of Control by its Children's
Bureau. However, in order to secure
local cooperation and support, the
law provided, as hereinbefore stated,
for the appointment of county child
welfare boards. There are now 81
counties with child welfare boards in
the state. The board in Redwood
County was organized in 1919. Dur
ing the ten years these laws have
been in effect, the county child well
fare boards have demonstrated their
value and usefulness in the field OF
child welfare. While the state can
set up standards, supervise and assist
in the enforcement Of law in the coun-
ty, yet the actual solution OF prob
lens in the county must, in the last
analysis, be solved by the community
through it's county child welfare
board in cooperation with the coun-
ty attorney, the probate judge, coun-
ty commissioners and other public
officials.

copied as was the report of the as
sociation's treasurer, Mrs. j. w. In
glis.
The general topic used by the
speakers of the evening was Safety
First. DR.. Brand talked on the Ply
steal Dangers to the Child In the
Home. The speaker gave dangers
applying to three groups OF children
which were classed as follows: 10
small babies in tire household, to
children learning to walk and in
lection to the older children. DR..
Brand told of the many small things
in the HOUSEHOLD with which children
can be injured Que to the carelessness
of the parents and gave instances OF
these injuries that come up in his
practice.
Mrs. T. E. Finn gave short talk
on Glow We Can Best Teach Truth
fulness to the Children" 1.-The par
ents must be truthful IN the homes In
order to teach truthfulness to the
child" said the speaker. "The child
at the age of five is very sincere and
should be treated as such. Be sim
cere with them in order to imprint on
their minds that truthfulness means
so much to Them" said Mrs. Finn IN
closing.
"What Fire Protection does to Our
School and What First Aid Provisions
are Made in Case of Accident" was
used as Joe Corbett's subject in his
talk. Mr.. Corbett stated that the new
fire-proof school building is the best
prevention of fires and that the new
building is ventilated so as to take
care of the smoke in case OF fire.
The local schools are equipped with
fire extinguishers in all rooms and
halls, with special extinguishers IN
the boiler rooms. In closing Mr.. Cor
bett stated that there were two kinds
of fires, preventable and non-prevent-
able and that if care is taken the pre-
ventable fires may usually be elm
mated. First aid is taught to the
classes in both schools and each room
is equipped with first aid kit.
Mayor A. j. White talked on what
Safety First Measures are Provided
in Our Community" In giving re-
view of the measures provided Mr.
White stated that much of the chill
dren's safety depends upon the early
training at home. 'The child must
be taught obedience at home; each
case of neglect of this by the parents
will bring trouble later on" said Mr.
White. Among the Safety First
measures listed by Mr.. White are
Provisions are made at the schools
for Fairgrounds where the child may
play in comparative safety; The

is to look after the welfare of the
