CHILD WELFARE PROGRESSING

The co-operation of the physicians, which has been so generous, is worthy of the highest appreciation entire community, Jot it is they upon whom a large part of the work devolves. Each afternoon from 1:30 to 3:30 o'clock in the north waiting room of the court house the work Is being done. Already nearly two hundred children have been ■'examined. Each Saturday afternoon after the hours of examination, short talks will be given along different lines of child welfare, and it is hoped by those having this work in charge that parents will avail themselves of this opportunity to work with the rest of the community in bettering the childhood of our county, for, “\\ho 'loves a child loves not himself, Jiut God: who delights a child labors with God in his worship of* the world of hearts: whoso helps a child brings the Kingdom of God; whoso saves a child from the fingers of evil sits In the seat with the builders of cities; and the procurers of peace.”—MßS. J. I. GWIN, 'Chairman.
