8 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1922 SEE HOMES FOR JEEDY CHLOREN Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society in Appeal She had been put out of the house with her two children, one a little girl of seven, the other a baby only a few days old. The husband had de- serted; his whereabouts were un- known. The forsaken mother, lead- ing her little girl and carrying her baby in her arms, wandered about the streets of the city until they were ex- hausted and nearly tamished, When their plight was discovered, the mother and baby were sent to a hospital and Pauline placed in the care of the Children's Home Society. Relief had come too late to the mother and baby, both of whom died soon after their admission to the hospital. When little Pauline heard of the death of her mother, she said: "Well, I am glad that Mama is gone; now she will not be put out in the cold any more with- out anything to eat." Sheltered 9,000 Children Nearly 9,000 needy children have been received and cared for during the past 38 years by the Illinois Chil- dren's Home and Aid society. They have come from every county in the State, representing all ages and many nationalities. They are usually cared for in the Receiving Home at Evans- ton; or, if from Southern Illinois, in the Receiving Home at Du Quoin, but as soon as practical, are placed in carefully selected private families. The Illinois Children's Home and Aid society believes that these little children, bereft of their own parents, can be best cared for under normal conditions in family homes. It, there- fore, is appealing to the citizens of the State, who are in position to do so, to open their homes to them. Study Background The society is giving special atten- tion to a study of the family back- ground of the children who need homes. Thorough physical examina- tions are made and remediable defects are removed. The Institute for Juve- | nile Research assists in determining | the mental capacity of doubtful chil. | dren. This intensive study makes pos- sible satisfactory adjustments between children and foster parents, The So-| ciety is in a position to know, so far as it can be humanely determined, that the children for whom it is seek- ing family h _es are physically and mentaily desirable for placement. The ability of the Illinois Children's Home and Aid Society to care for so large a group of children is dependent upon the response made to appeals such as this. Christian families who want to do something for needy chil- dren and can make room in their home for bright little mischievous boys or girls, are urged to communi- cate with the Society concerning homeless children, who want folks to care for them, rather than institu- tions to live in. The time saved each day by cutting out "hello" in telephone conversation in New York City alone would equal the working time of a man for six months.
