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.
