During my first term in the House, I supported a bill for an Act to pro- vide tor. the visitatiOn of children placed in ~family homes. it became _" law July 1. 1905.’ Under its provis- ions the State Board of Charities appointed“ Rev; Charles Virden, of Evan-ton, state agent (or the Visita- tion of Children, which once he still holds. The law made it his duty to visit homes where dependent and neglected children were placed and make ofllcial renortsot his visits. His first quarterly report showed place- ment of three hundred and sixty in private homes. The number of or- phans and other dependent children whose welfare. to a large extent is in his hands, has now increased to over 3.000. The original ‘law gave himtwo assistants. At the 45th session the number was doubled, but the spillo- prlation was so small only one is emâ€" ployed. The law requires one visit a year to each child. The growth 0! populatibn and other causes are add- ing about three hundred and fifty new homes for visitation every three months. The greatest humanitarianj work the state ever instituted was the creation 01 juvenile courts: Mr. Virden's department in its helpiulâ€" ness to helpless children is not sur- passed by those courts.
