SEEK HOME FOR
NEEDY CHILDREN
CHILDREN'S HOME SOCIETY
MAKES PLEA FOR
INMATES

How about your giving vaca-
ton home to fine homeless or
orphan boy or girl this summer?
Scores of homeless, orphan and
destitute boys and girls from six
to sixteen years of age, under the
care of The Chiadren'S Home So
ciety of Florida, are pleading
daily with Daddy" Marcus C..
Fagg. the state superintendent of
the Home Society, to find some
good family that will take them
out of the Society's Receiving
Homes for the summer, and give
them a real vacation in exchange
for whatever little services they
can render.
Last year many fine big-heart-
cd families all over Florida, took
one or more of the Society's
homeless children. as soon as the
public schools closed in May and
June and kept them for the whole
summer. Some of these families
took the children to the noun
tains with them, others to beach
es, others to good farm homes,
much to the delight of the chill
dren.
Daddy" Fagg hopes to place at
least $50 boys and girls in vaca-
ton homes this summer and will
gladly furnish information to all
families who will drop him a let
ter to 40 Buchanan Building.
Jacksonville, Fla.
Homes are particularly desired
for older boys and girls from IA
to Is years, where they can be
taught how to earn their own
way in life, but where they will
be accepted as members of the
family-and where it will be re-
membered that they are children.
not adults, and where too much
will not be demanded of them.
The Home Society will furnish
a good supply of clothing, but the
expense of having the child sent
iand returned, is asked of the fam
lilies who offer vacation homes.
