Mr. Armand Wyle, super intendent of the Hebrew Orphans’ Home, gave a brief survey on the work done by th • home in furthering the work in child placement. He explained the idea of boarding homes for dependent children to preserve the child’s natural home environ ment. When broken homes prevent sub sidizing a child in his own home, suitable boarding homes are sought for him which are supervised by the Orphans’ Home so that no unpleasant situations that might arise will continue. This method has proved very satisfactory for the child mentally and physically, for he is better able to work out his problems in a family where he receives individual care and affection. 1 wo outstanding figures in interna tional Jewry addressed a mass meeting held recently at the Shearith Israel Syna gogue.
