CHILDREN’S AID WORK WIDE IN SCOPE, SERVICE i General Secretary Makes Report at Association’s Annual Meeting. REGISTER 1,458 BABIES A summary of the work done by the Children’s Aid Association, SS Baldwin Block, was given at the annual meeting held today in the Hotel Lincoln, by Paul L. Kirby, general secretary. * “Our work is to buttress the home, supply its deficiencies’ and mold it into a semblance of the right kind of influence for the children in it,” said Mr. Kirby. He summed up the work of the five departments and ended with the statement. “our vision is not yet of the day in which there shall be no need to be met; but it is of the day when we shall competent to meet the need.” RECORD EACH FAMILY STORY'. \ “I want you to understand the work of our visitation department,” said Mr. 1 Kirby, in outlining the scope of the association, “which is our department of Investigation and counsel. The situations reported to this department, perhaps by a parent, a neighbor, a school or hospital, are taken in hand by it for Inquiry and subsequent treatment. As much pertinent information as can be secured is recorded. The name is then cleared through the exchange and thus it is learned what other organizations, if any, have information regarding the case. Each family story is filed in its own separata envelope. “The visitation department, with such information as may have been obtained in the initial interview, makes a prompt and careful inquiry into the conditions reported, in order to verify and supplement the facts given, so that the wisest suggestions may be offered and the most helpful cooperation of other agencies secured. The child continues to receive attention until his case can be satisfactorily closed. “Our dental clinic offers the free- services of competent dentists to children whose parents are financially unable to secure the necessary attention. Last year 601 different children came to the clinics. 1,806 appointments were kept by them, 1,306 teeth were extracted and there was a total of fillings. WORK OF BABY HEALTH STATIONS. “Our baby health stations, eight in number, through physicians and visiting nurses, offer free advice and demonstration as to the care and reeding of infants; and through this department free milk is supplied when necessary. In 1921 the nurses had registered 1,458 babies and 406 children, while more than twice this number were visited. A total of 23,525 1 visits was made. The department cost was $13,833.43. “Our boarding out department very carefully selects and supervises the foster homes in which children are boarded. Each home is seen and inspected by a visitor, a first hand impression of the boarding home mother is formed and the positive recommendation of six persons is secured. Each child boarded must be fitted into one of the approved homes — and "after he is placed he must be ‘supervised.’ Last year we found that eleven visits in every twelve were visits in supervision, two field visitors looking ester an average of about forty-five children each. Altogether 3,009 visits were j made of which 331 were made by the ; graduate ffursfe working in this depart- | lient. The department cost was $25,601, I \,l which : ’ .922 was for board alone. A j total of 34,831 days’ care was given. There were no deaths among the 244 children. I'REE outings for CHILDREN, MOTHERS. “The Summer Mission, with grounds located just north of the city on the banks of the White River, provides during the summer months free outings for children and mothers, giving a medical examination to each child admitted. The Mission’s little cottage hospital, under the direction of a physician and the supervision of a graduate nurse, has beds for twenty-five little patients. Opening late and closing early, the Summer Mission season was two weeks shorter than usual. The early part of the summer

was Intensely hot. Throughout July, when we became accustomed to midday temperature of 93 degrees, the calls were exceptionally urgent and numerous. It was possible to care for forty-three mothers and 237 children, a total of 2SO. “In the large central office room, we hare our visitation department. First applications are made here; persons in need, or with complain* may confer in this riim. In the next om we have our boarding out depan nt and all of our record files. In tho' steel cabinets are the stories of 5,7. families, 473 new ones having been added this year; and of course in many of these cases several children have been concerned. MOST OF WORK HONE ON OUTSIDE. “In the room beyond this, are the baby health nurses who occupy the room in common with the staff of the Public Health Nursing Association. Across the hall is one of our dental clinics, used also as the doctor's examining room for the central baby health station. The other stations and the dental clinic at the Jewish communal building, we cannot see In this brief tour; nor can we visit the extensive and beautifully situated summer mission grounds. "Most of our work is done on the outside. The nurses are in their districts practically all day, and the visitors are all out on their cases, perhaps in the homes, or the courts, or the schools. The office is little more than the place to which a case may be reported, and where records are written and filed.” Stage Producer and Anti-Vice Crusader Hold Duel of Words NETT YORK, Feb. 13.—Church folk and stake .tola disagreed today as to whether Dr. James Roach Stratton, famed antivice campaigner, held a verbal decision over 'William A- Brady, theatrical producer. They went several fast wordy rounds In the pulpit of Dr. Stratton’s church on the subject of whether ‘ actors are more sinful than other people. During the debate, which was staged and advertised In advance, the'-ehurch echoed with hisses, hoots, groans, yells and cheers from the opposing factions—but the minister’s adherents made more noise than the theatrical people. “There are more ministers in jail than stage people,” Brady cried, as the discussion waxed hot and yells of “Throw him out!” came from the congregation. “More murders are committed by churchmen than by actors,” Brady charged. Dr. Stratton said 17,000 words about stage wickedness, among those he named being Mary Bickford, Douglas Fairbanks and Charles Chaplin. Entertains Y. M. C. A. Boys With Cartoons Sam R. Schurte entertained the audience at the Boys’ Big Meeting in the Y. M. C. A. yesterday with a series of cartoons depicting the “Thief of Character.” M. J. Hopper lead the boys in Singing and Henry J. Hale, 87, recited a poem to the delight of his young auditors. Ten boys made their first decision.

PLAN QUIZ IN RUSSIAN RELIEF War Between Hoover and Liggett May Bring Congressional Probe. WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.—There was considerable speculation in official circles here today as to who would make the next move in the merry little war that is going on between Secretary of Commerce Hoover and Walter W. Liggett of Chicago, with respect to the Administration of Russian relief. Liggett is angered because of Hoover’s suggestion that the Chicago organization —the American Committee for Russian Relief —is supporting the soviet government and is demanding an investigation not only of his own committee, but of the American Relief Administration, headed by the Secretary of Commerce. Hoover insists that Americans should have complete charge of funds raised in this .country for relief work and assures
