It is distinctly to be understood that only what are calleq well children wiil be sent, all vouched for by the settie- ment workers; each child will have a thorough physical examination 24 hours before leaving New York, so that they are all guaranteed to be healthy and sound. The youngsters bring their own- clothes and come tagged; with the name of their tem- porary host written on the tag, besides their own, so that there is no confusion when the’train arrives. Miss. Walmsley has been thorough combing the state east of Hartford, with promising results. Pomfret, Put- nam, Willimantic, Leffingwell, Han- over, Franklin, Bolton, Daniélson and Taftville are some ‘of the ricts which are interested in placing the lit- | tle ones. In some towns those who' wish to help the cause but cannot ac- commodate a child are paying the nominal sum of $6 fo some competent woman -who ' is “willing: to ‘provide ‘a temporary home - but not financially able. There is an e‘pemal need for some good- vacaticn homes for a number” of colored. children and it is hoped that some of the negro citizens of Norwich| will feel that they can help out.

There ‘are more Jewish and Roman Catholic children thian any other denomination, though nearly all nationalities are rep- resented. The Tribune fund “clearing house” of all sects and no distinctions of race or creed are allow- ed. Tt is hoped that all the churches in town will- exploit this cause and! assist in helping to place. as many children as possible.
