Of the ,5 -tern cities Kansas City is tne °ughest ” Experts Praise Work of Atlanta Institutions as Nearly Ideal. Most everybody likes to watch little children at work or play. And maybe that’s the reason why the fifteen little boys and girls from the Home for the Friendless are al ways the center of a curious throng at the Child Welfare and Public Health Exhibit. They are of most importance in the Dependent Child Section of the show, which has a room to the left as you enter the building. And every one of the fifteen young sters—what time they are not chat tering and giggling with the exuber ance of childhood—are working, al though It doesn’t appear to be work. The average child, If It likes the task given it, can make almost any work seem like play—and the people who train the children at the Home for the Friendless have the knack of teaching them to love their work— and therefore it is play. Panels Show Achievements. Probably no section of the show has attracted more attention than than Dependent Child Section. While, of course, the children are the center of attraction: there are other things in the exhibit which make it worth while. There are panels illustrating the work of five of the well-known At lanta orphan asylums, two of them negro institutions. Photographs of children from the Home for the Friendless are shown on one panel, with statements of the work being done. On another panel the work of the Decatur Orphan Home, which makes a specialty of the cottage plan of caring for its children, Is shown, and on still another the Georgia Children’s Home traces the progress of a rhild from lowly surroundings through the various stages of admission to the home and adoption into a childless home. And there are also panels showing what the Carrie Steele Home and the Leonard Street Home are doing for the negro children cast out into the world. Atlanta Institutions Praised. And on the other side of the room are panels showing conditions in an ideal orphan home, and a panel show ing scenes in a girls’ training school. Then there Is a "How to Help" panel, vividly- telling the best ways to make up to the child for the loss of its home. And it Is much to the credit of the Atlanta Institutions to say that the experts declare they compare very very favorably with the ideal Institu tions told of on some of the panels. There Is no orphan home that is per fect. the experts say, but the Atlanta institutions appear to be doing a grea t deal of the work that is recommended for the Ideal’ home. The local part of the dependent child sections was collected and ar ranged by Miss Elizabeth Gregg, No. 176 Capitol avenue, chairman of the committee on that section. She ex ercises general supervision over the section, and Is enthusiastic over the attention it has attracted. "Child for Ev*>ry Home." "We hope we are doing a lot of good by this section,’’ said Miss Gregg Saturday morning. "Our motto is, ‘For every childess home there is a homeless child,’ and we hope to show Atlantans that there Is not only a child for every home, but that the children are being trained in sur roundings that do not cause them to lose their love for the home. "Anyone can see from the panels and photographs ho\y the children are cared for and they can see the results of the training In the happy faces <f the children of the sewing and basketry’ classes the Home for the Friendless has sent here to be a part of the exhibit."
