It has done ei during vork from the beginning hi during the greater part of its e? istence it has done many things thi had no value other than educationa It has learned how not to do mo of the things, certainly that a chi dren's homo society should learn honot to do. The organization which no works with beautiful efficient*; smoothness and general satisfactio been so functioning for a nurn-bt of years. The limit of what thj organization is capable of accomplis ing has not been tested out, but has been tested sufficiently to demoi ? strate that the Dolicv of the societ will be a successful one so long ; the administrative organization r mains. , The society has placed some 23C boys and girls in homes, and no has under its supervision abo; V' 1200 of them. Having finally den onstrated the efficiency of its mai agement, and the correctness of tl policy, in capable hands, the sociel perceives before it the duty of fillii its entire fieid. To that end it mu strive. It is also necessary to devote moi effort to some of the work that h; hitherto been done, because the ta: a cumulative one, has become i much larger. VThere must be a r organization of the superviso work, not in anything fundament* but because the number of horn that, must be supervised has gro? so great, and is steadily increasin ^he authority of the society is co tinuous and therefore its duty, ai responsibility are continuous.

The time of residence of children in a norphanage may range from that between the age of one day ? if infants are taken?and the age of 16 years or more. I'orftaps i he average is between four and six years, during which the child is supported by the public. The business of the Children's Home society being to place children in homes, with which they eventually become identified. It follows that its mission is aided by whatever tends to facilitate the harmonious relation of parents and sons and daughters between persons not naturally thus related. The earlier the child comes under the care of the receiving home, the better it can be fitted, in its moat plastic months, to entry into a good borne; and indeed, the earlier the adopting parents receive a child, the more nearly like an actual child of theirs it will be. In order to undertake this work with babies. and to provide the right soix of equipment for it, and | to be able properly to carry along I and expand the present work, the society contemplates the expenditure I within the next two years of about one hundred thousand dollars. The I officers and directors of the organi zauon Know tnat wan tneir present executive and administrative personnel. such an expenditure on the part of the people of North Carolina will be justified. There is another duty which presents itself to those who are today directly responsible for this service. The society has a hand to mouth existence. Its work is too vitally important to be left in any degree to chance, if that can at all be avoided and so ways and means are being considered of providing absolute assurance of income for the future. .

As a matter of fact th* states and counties together : have only 358 beds for public use. This number includes the 200 beds at the State Sanitorium that are for i white people, the 04 beds at the ne1 gro division of the saitorium, the 64 bed? at the Guilford county sanitorium. and the 30 beds at the Forsyth County Sanitorium. In trie 20 private sanitoriunis of the state there are beds for 190 pa{ tients r?ut these are almost exclusivj civ taken by patients from other states and none of the 1200 beds at the Government Hospital at Oteen are available for North Carolina citizens unless they have served in the World War. The standard sot by the National Tuberculosis Association is that ?her i shoiilr a bed for cvcia annual death from tuberculosis. There were 2,3611 deaths in North Carolina last year. For public use there are only :;58 beds in the state and county sanitariums. This shows a shortage of over two thousand beds, or one sixth as mtny beds as are needed to make a successful fight against the disease. Sar.itoriun'i treatment is recognizee." as an absolute essential in any intelligent program for treating tuber| eulesis. For that reason the North Carolina tuberculosis Association in planning the tuberculosis program for the state says that there must not only be more beds at the State Sanitarium but that there must be counj tv sanitarium* with su&icicn* beds to meet local needs. A number of towns and counties have been able to provide beds at AN "IF" FOR GIRLS It you can dress to make yourseil at tractive Vet not make pud's and curls youi chief delight; li' yon can swim, ar.u row, he strong and active.
