RILEY HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN WILL SERVE TWO PURPOSES IT IS SAID Indianapolis, May 17-When ready for operation the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, to be erected in Indianapolis to fin n great need for a state institution for the care of children and also as a lasting memorial of the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association, who

have undertaken to raise u 12,000,000 building fund for the hospital, point out. As migl4 be expected the hospital Will attempt in the widest possible manner to reach ull of the children in Indiana who need hospital care. At the same time another department will bo equally busy teaching mothers and prospective mothers how to rear their children In such manner that no hospital attention will be needed.

It Is the idea of those sponsoring the Riley hospital movement that all of the child welfare organizations should make this institution their base of operations, thereby permitting co-operation not possible under existing conditions and preventing duplication of expense and effort. There is no thought, however, of asking existing child welfare societies to disband or relinquish any authority they may now have but it is believed that, the best interests of the children of Indiana will be server through the coordination of thought and effort in such an institution as the Riley hospital will be. It is the hope of friends of the Riley hospital movement that the campaign now being started to complete the $2,000,00(1 building fund will provide sufficient funds to en able the hospital to reach all of the people of Indiana who need to be reached in the matter of the distribution of health information to parents and to those who expect to beIcome parents. In addition statistics I compiled by the United States public i health service show that there are 110,000 children in Indiana seriously j in need of medical or surgical atten I tion.
