REAL * ORPHANS CHANCES BETTER IN HOME No Institution Can Replace Family Life, Says Aid Society Head. ‘The orphan has a far better chance for future haj and success if Estate Boards' ninetieth of a series of stories for the public. This tlon—that is given $100,- 000 a year for its work by the county and several times that amount by pri- vate supporters—has not established the cusf asylum for the un- fortunate idren for whom it cares, but boards them in carefully selected X individual homes. Asylums Change Methods. Here is what Mr. Sudler, who is a business man serving without pay, says about the soclety’s policy on orphan asylums: “I believe that social agencies en- gaged in caring for orphans and unfor- tunate children are getting away from the asylum or institutional idea. In the days when Dickens wrote Oliver Twist, orphan asylums were pitiful places. As time went on, and influential people in- terested themselves in the plight of children relegated to such institutions, conditions were improved until today we have model institutions where the inmates are given the best possible care. “But no institution, however well or- rnlzd, can give a ohild the blessings ound in an individual home, however modest. No group of trustees or paid caretakers can give a child the cheer snd warmth and inspiration it can get in a home, even if that home is not its own. - Place Children in Homes. “Most of our children are placed in very modest home;cm wmehh:hz Xm- fly may or may not already have chil- mc&-u'nd'."'; ysten it and our system pi for checking up through the to be sure that the child is faring well. Most of the homes receive no cash eration for the care of the children they take from us. In addi- tion to a large number of children le- !Illy adopted, nearly 1,100 are in free foster homes without adoption, and we have always between 400 and 500 chil- dren in carefully selected homes at board. “Naturally we prefer owned homes for our children rather than rented quarters, bowever desirable the family may be. To begin with, families in owned homes usually remain perma- pently in the same home, which 1§ a good thing for the child from the point of view of uninterrupted school work. Living in the same community is also for the child in that it enables to properly develop as a part of the community and to understand his obligations to the community, not as a charitable ward, but as & normal child being taught his place in the scheme of modern life. Social Education’ Better. “The child placed in an owned home will be more likely to be taught lessons of thrift. He will be more likely to be ambitious because the people in whose home he is plac:d are ambitious else thay would not have their home.” Parents should ponder Mr. Sudler's yemarks, says the realty association. ¥ = makes a good case for home owning It the unfortunate child, without fa- ither or mother, needs the atmosphere of home—preferably an owned home— and if charitablé organizations are see- that such children get the things ined in o'n‘ed or ith it.
