The Child Welfare Board of
Stearns County which was organ
lied several years ago with Mrs.
Emma Moynihan, of this city, as
executive secretary, has developed
into a most effective organization
for the care of needy mothers and
children. Mrs. Moynihan has re-
Gently completed and filed with the
Stearns County Commissioners a
very exhaustive report of the
Boards activities for 1929. The
report follows herewith:
To Board of Co. Commissioners:
st. Cloud, MINI.
Gentlemen:
On Jan. 1, 1880, the Stearns Co.
Child Welfare Board completed the
eleventh year of it's service to the
women and children of the county.
William Boerger retains the office
as chairman for the ensuing year.
Mrs. Myra Dragoo has been re-
elected secretary; VIM. Ernest con-
tinues to represent the county COM
Mrs. Frank Fandel complete the
personnel of the Board. There
have been Is meetings of the board
during the year.
In January, 1929, the State Board
of Control called a meeting of the
executive secretaries of Child
Welfare Boards which was held in
st. Paul. At that meeting the Sec
retaries were asked to keep a day
by day desk record. It has given
an accurate account of the time
and effort of Stearns county's exc
ecutive. During 1929 your secre-
tary travelled 11,418 miles, attended
146 hearings in Juvenile Court, II
hearings in Probate Court and
three hearings in Justice court
She was also called before the
grand jury in one case and as a
witness on trials in Todd, Morris
on and Sherburne counties. Dur
ing the year she made 578 home
visits and held 918 interviews with
individuals either at the court
house or in her home. She spent
11f1a of debating writing 1896 let
tiers. She conveyed 81 persons to
various places in connection with
her work. Stearns county carried
AGO open cases during 1929 as COM
pared with 424 in 1928.
The outstanding work of the
board remains with mothers pen
sions. The standards adopted by
,Stearns county are accepted
throughout the state. In June,
1929, the Stearns county. executive
was released by the board to make
a survey of mothers pensions in
Freedom county. When that was
completed there was request for
similar survey in Steele county.
However, the pressure of work in
,Stearns county made it impossible
for the agent to grant the request
of Steele county.
During the year 1929 there were

/ lob mothers who received aid for
318 children as compared to 1925
when 80 women received aid for
316 children. The total county aid
for 1929 was $22,456, as compared
to 22,073 for 1928. The average cost
per child per month was SCOOPS. On
Jan. 1, 1880, there were 90 mothers
receiving aid for 287 children.
There were 81 new applications
for mothers pension during 1929,
of which II were discontinued dur
ing the year; IL were reduced and
six were increased.
There should be a well defined
policy in every county regarding
the payment of mothers pensions
to divorced women and abandoned
women, especially when there is an
able-bodied man in default. A pre-
cedent once established may lead
to endless difficulties. There is also
question as to the necessity of
making a grant to healthy young
woman with one child. The carry
ing of life insurance by county al
lowance mothers likewise needs
careful consideration. Very often
it is an indication of thrift on the
part of the mother. It is our feel
ing that when small amount of
life insurance can be carried by
the mother on the allowance she
receives without her getting into
debt or denying her family the ne
cessities, she should be allowed to
carry it. Twenty-one mothers in
Stearns county are carrying small
policies on their children, averag-
ing about $3.50.
Social agencies granting finan-
cial aid, are open to serious criti-
cism if they permit children to re-
main in home when the mother
is immoral, or, in spite of repeated
warnings. permits the sale or use
of intoxicating liquors in the home.
The woman's immortality may be
only suspected or she may not be
positively immoral but may be ex-
erting bad influence over her
children or she may completely
neglect those restraints which So
cial agencies must insist upon.
These doubtful home influence
families are especially hard to deal
with.
There was an increase in the
number of Legitimate births in
number being Al, as compared to
IS in 1928. Paternity was estab-
lished in IA cases during the year
and no case went to trial in Dis
trict Court. Warrants are out
standing in nine cases and four are
in process of settlement. Com
plants for failure to support the
child were filed in six cases. In two
cases criminal action was begun
resulting in a plea of guilty. In the
balance of the cases it was impos-
sible to establish the paternity of
the child either because of promis-
Guilty or refusal of the girl to bring
action against the alleged father.
1t is gratifying to note the in
creasing number of girls who are

the past, decent pride restraints

circumstances now take the atti-

you made it possible for us to

you sincerely and assure you of our
appreciation. 1t shall be our eff
