It was dedicated, March 10, 1923, and the first babies brought out on the following Monday. At that time the nursery was completely furnished and equipped for the care of eight babies. The staff consisted of a head day nurse, assistant nurse, night nurse, and combination cook and laundress. Dr. Mitchell was the pedriatrician in charge until January, and Dr. Luskie has been in charge since that time. The: babies come to the Cradle from hospitals, social service departments and physicians. Whenever it is possible, and in these cases it is almost always true, those in charge have personal in- terview with the mother of -the baby before accepting it. The Cradle, it 1s explained, is a nurs- ery to establish the physical fitness of little children to go into the homes of love and devotion. The first year's rec- ord shows that the average length of time in the Cradle is about 35 days. During the past year 81 babies were taken in, 65 of which have been adopted into permanent homes, three returned to their mothers with an assurance of ex- cellent care, one taken by its grand- mother, two sent to hospitals because of symptoms that precluded the possi- bilities of placing them, and three taken by death.
