Berlin said that there are four
times as many couples waiting to
adopt such a child as there are
children ready to be placed.
According to statistics of the
German Youth Office 1877 percent
of all children born in Berlin at
present are illegitimate. The aver
age rate last year was 1874 per cent.
In 1914 it was % percent.
The youth office said that 1925
of the children officially under its
guardianship were illegitimate.
Whenever a foster home is re-
ported or an application filed to
adopt a child, the youth office first
makes a careful study. Families
which merely are seeking to sup
plement their income or take adj
vantage of a child's better food ra-
ton card are Immediately rejected

The youth office reported that the
rate of illegitimacy in the Ameri-

Our function is to train them
and rec0nditiOn them physically
and mentally SO that they are ready
for employment. Training equips
them for a new kind of job if they
are no longer able to handle the
old one. We give training here in
printing, prOOf-reading, metal lathe
work and drill press operation. We
study the person carefully and adj
just our facilities to his vocational
needs. Here we vary from other
groups, who put everyone to work
on sewing machines or on flower
making to give them manual deX
terit.y
"RecOnditiOning is developing
their physical strength, emotional
stability and ability to work an
eight-hour day. 1t also means
helping them to overcome inhibi-
tiOns which prevent employment.
Wood work and other work fall
in this class.
I'VE keep the people busy and
point out their successes. They
think about great deal besides
themselves and see people who
are worse off than they are. They
use the tools of the trade they are
going into, so they know they can
do the job. The training and re-
conditioning are given them free
The average stay here is eight
weeks. Eighty percent of those
who leave here are rehabilitated
and three quarters of the so per.
cent remain on the job.
Il am convinced from what
have seen here in 20 years that Z!

pendents because of disabilities
could be rehabilitated and earn
their own living"
