WORK OF A GOOD SOCIETY.
What the Chlldrens' Home Soolety Is
Engaged In Doing.
This is the only National Child-Saving
agency n the Union that devotes
Its whole time and the means placed
at Its disposal in work exclusively for
children under fifteen years of age.
Its national board of control Is at
Chicago. State and territorial boards
are composed of citizens in the state
or territory organised and chartered
undei Its own laws.
So have we here the Oklahoma and
Indian Territory Children's Home so-
ciety chartered May tho lth 1900 tin-
ner the lawn of Oklahoma.
And Its object or pa-pose Is to pro-
vide suitable thrifty family homes.

stated are already at work and in
seventeen years over 16000 cblldron
have been rescued and saved from
poverty's sting rind the shnme of vlco
and ruin by placing them in select
family homes.
There Is another child and. adult so
ciety combined also . located In Chi-
cago nnd organized since the Child-
ren s Home society that has been
working in some of the states further
north and has caused considerable
confusion and It has recently been
learned that the same society has had
agents a roan and his wife privately
soliciting fun (Iff In Oklahoma towns
and perhaps distributing literature in
Oklahoma. And has already made a
little contusion in tk$ work or. the legal
and chartered Children's Home society
here
Tho olttaens of Oklahoma and In-
dian territory are nt liberty to spend
thsnr bonovolent money us they will
certainly. But I do not think It will
meet tho approval of inuny of them
to unnecessarily sond thoir means out
of tho torrltorlos to Chicago or othor
points whon our own poor children
are flooding their aid at home. Okla-
homana are not so narrow aa to con-
fine all their benovolouoe to thorn-
selves not at ull liberally did they
help the far off Indian sufferers.
But when there is a wall organized
society the Children's Home society
within our own borders and the only
exclusive child-saving agency so or
ganized nnd chartered under the laws'
It Is hardly reasonable or qfllte Just
Is It? to sand our monswtput u the
state Into older and richer states to
help provide for their orphan children
and leave our own neglected?
Whan persons come to you fof your
help In child-saving work ask them
where the 'money will be spent and
If It IS to go out of the territory It Is
not the Children's Home soolety. Then
if you wish to help It do so hut do not
allow thorn to leave the Impression on
your mlndB that you are aiding for-
