ME SOCIETY
Branch of the National
Children’s Home
ety to be Establish
ed in Georgia.
Following decision reached at the
hist annual conference of the National
Children's Home 8ocIety, the work of
this great organization will be extend
ed into Georgia, William B. Streeter,
one of the society's most successful
workers, having been named as super
intendent for this state, with Clifford
Groover, a Georgian, as state agent.
Georgia is one of the few south
ern states not having a branch of the
National Children's Home Society,
and the coming of the society means
that during the next few years hun
dreds, possibly thousands, of home-
les waifs will be placed In Christian
homes for adoption. Georgia will be
the thirty-second state in the union
v hlch has been entered by the
clety since its establishment nearly
thirty years ago.
Dr. Charles Richmond Henderson,
1). D„ the noted criminologist and
writer on social problems, is presi
dent of the National Children's Home
Society. This society Is a federation
of the Children Home Societies of
some thirty states; and, while It
acts in an advisory capacity toward
these societies, it was for its object
chiefly the extension of the work In
uncovered territory.
Dr. Henderson and Dr. Hasting H.
Hart, D. D., director of the child de
partment of the Russell -Sage Founds,
tion, and Secretary and superinten
dent of the National Children's Home
Society, have closely studied the prob
lem of the dependent child as It
faces the people of Georgia, and are
personally interesting themselves in
the introduction of the society Into
Georgia.
.Mr. William H. Streeter, who Is
now superintendent of the Children
Home Societies In the Carolinaa, was
delayed In beginning operations in
tills tate for lack of competent as
sistants. He finally selected Mr.
(iroover, who Is a native Georgian,
and has been thoroughly trained un
der Mr. Streeter in this method of
child saving, with a view of entering
the Georgia Held.
Mr. Streeter has had some twenty
years' experience In placing children
in family homes. He organized the
work in North Carolina some eight
years ago, and the society in that
state has extended aid to over a
thousand children. He later organiz
ed a similar work in South Carolina
with splendid success.
He cornea to direct the work
Georgia with an experience that bids
fair to rival all other efforts In be
half of tho dependent child by simi
lar societies In other southern states.
Mr. Groover was born and reared
In Bulloch county, Georgia. Ho Is a
graduate of Mercer University, and
spent considerable time In study at
the University of Chicago. While
there he took up the study of social
problems under Dr. Henderson, the
president of the society, and seeing
the need of the dependent child In
Georgia, and believing strongly In
the method employed by the Chil
dren's .Home Societies In caring -for
these helpless children, was persuad
ed to prepare himself for the work
Ir this state.
The announcement of the coming
Into Georgia of the National Chil
dren's Home Society has been warm
ly received by the heads of the vari
ous elemosynary Institutions of the
state and organizations which are
Interested In the caae of the unfor
tunate children of the state.
General Secretary Robert B. Mc
Cord, of the Prison Association of
Georgia, fs of the opinion that the
society will be of great assistance lii
the work of the prison association.
"The Children’s Home Society is
engaged directly In the effort to pre
vent the growth of criminals and we
are delighted to know that they are
going to extend their work Into Geor
gia. I have come Into contact with
these state societies for rescuing
children In different parts of the
country and have been most favorably
Impressed with the system and Its
beneficent results."
Dr. John E. White, pastor of the
Second Baptist church, Ir speaking of
the announcement, said: “I have been
familiar with the society's work in
North Carolina for years and know
that It Is universally regarded as a
successful and economical method by
which the people of a slate may ef
fectively care for the problem of de
pendent and homeless children. It
does not In any way Invade or In any
wise Interfere with the denomination
al system of orphan homes.”
"The establishment In Georgia of
au organised agency for the placing
cf dependent children In private
hemes should be Immediately encour
aged. When properly conducted,
‘Placing out,' as It is called, la accept
ed as the most economical, the most
humane and the most sensible way
of caring for a large proportion of de
pendent children.”—JosepJ. C. Logan,
general secretary Associated Chari
ties of Atlanta.
