The plan is to form a "Mothers

open the doors of the Home to th J
children of those mothers. This will
give an opportunity to many mothers,
who have been bound down at home
on account of their children, to go

are being cared for. Children who

Some idea of the great army of new
citizens coming into the country is
found in the annual report of Secre
tary Strauss, of the Department of
Commerce and Labor. During the
last fiscal year the total number of
aliens admitted was 1,285,349, which
exceeded that of 1906 by 181,614, or 17
per cent. The amount of money
brought into this country by this army-
was $25,599,893. bn overage of al
most $20 a person. A disquieting fea
ture of these figures is found in the
statement in the report that thirty
p*-r cent, of the aliens admitted were
iliierate. Another striking feature is
found in the statement that during
the year 310,000 foreigners departed
for other lands.
