cause or another have no home.
We are trying to get them togeth
er in Georgia.
This was the statement of Robt.
B. McCord, State Superintendent
of the Georgia Children’s Home
Society to the lccal editor of the
f,eader-Enterprise t o da'y. Mr.
McCord is in Fitzgerald for a few
duys to acquaint the people of this
city with that Society’s work for
homeless chiliren throughout tte
state,
He says he must find some chil
dren homes here which will take
one cr more of somebody else’s
unfortunate c h i 1 d r e n to rear.
“S me of the best family homes
in the state are opening their
doors to receive these little fel
lows,” said the superintendent,
and while giving the children
homes, they are bringing bless.ngs
to themselves. Home is not home
without a child in it.”
The superintendent of the chil
dren’s Home Society, says that he
is also on the lookout for every
child that needs a geod home and
a mother’s care, There is the or
phan and half orphan, but there
are children more unfortunate
than these. There is the child thai
is abandoned or isa victim of
neglect on account of the separa
tion of parents. There is the vic
tiw of cruelty, the child born out
of wedlock and the child brought
up under conditions that are un
moral or criminal. Such rearing
will curse the lives of the children
and bring up bad citizens to be
dealt with at grcat expense tomor
row, The Georgia laws are strict|
against children being reared into
vice and crime on account of these
things, but the law is not often
observed without aggressive ac
tion on the part of such an agency
as the children’s Home Society.
The Georgia Children’s Home
Society was organized and incor
porated last year with Ex-Gover
nor Northern of Atlanta as presi
dent, Tne Association was form
ed to supplement the work of the
orphan asylums which are crowd
ed to their doors and have to turn
away so many homeless children
for want of room.
“The family home is the better
place to rear a child,” said Mr.
McCord, “We must all admit
this, if we believe the Lord knew
what he was doing when he pro
vided that children be served
these. The only question is wheth
er there are a sufficient number of
childless family homes in Georgia
to take the homeless children and
rear them as they should be rear
ed. This is no longer a question
however, for we are bringing
children to some of the best homes
in the state where they are receiv
ed with open arms and the work
is only 1n getting the child fitted
to the home,
The Children’s Home Society,
through its agents, continue to
‘exercise a watchcare cver the child
after it is placed with ja family,
This is done by visits every few
months to the homes 1n which the
child is being reared,
Mr. McCord expects to be at
the New Aldine hotel for a few
days and would be glad to see any
one who might possibly take one
of the society’s children into his
home to fill the vacant place, and
he would also like to know of any
child in need of care such as the
society ean render.
The offices of the Society are at
710 Gould Bidg., Atlanta and the
City Hall Savannab. Letters ad
dressed to either office will have
prompt attention. |

The Rosary Pleases
A Large Audience
e G |
The local theatre sesson was
opened last night with the pre
sentation of The Rosary, by Ed.
Rowland and Edwia Clifford. This
is the first big play that has been
given 1n the new Grand Opera
House since its completion last
Spring.
The house was full, and {The
Rosary measured up in every re
spect to the expectations of the
immense audience. Characterized
by a deep human interest and
skillfully performed by the excel
lent compuny, there was not a
weary moment for the eager list
eners. The cast of characters of
The Rosary is very strong, only
finished artists being members of
the company, and their interpre
tation of Edward E. Rose’s story
lwas indeed such as he had intend
ed it. The scenic effects were also
]splendid. The role of the Rev.
Brian Kelley was skillfully carried
by Mr. Harry Nelson, while Miss
Virginia Lewis, playing the dual
part of Vera Wilton and her twin
sister, Alice Marsh, made a most
favorable impression on the audi
rence. Her rendition of the beauti
ful solo, “The Rosary,” in the
last act proved her a vocalist of
rare talent, and at this crucial
moment in the chapel where the
villian confesses his guilt, the im
pressiveness of the occasion
brought tears to the eyes of many.
The part of Bruce Wilton was
played by Mr. Thornton J. Baston,
ard George J. Clark was good as
Kenward Wright., The melancholy
feature of the play was effectively
relieved by Henry Garron, play
ing the part of Lee Martin (Skee
ters) who wouldn’t let things get
too sad, ;
As a whole the play was fine and
was greatly enjoyed by all who at
tended, - The next Attraction at
the Grand will be ‘‘Forty-five
Minutes from Broadway” Saturday
night, Nov. 2nd.
