HOMES WANTED FOR CHILDREN
The Children's Aid Society of New York wishes to provide homes in the
country for the many poor and homeless children who come under it's
care.
Most of the children come from the best orphanages in and about New York
City. They have been diligently trained and selected with care to fit
the new family life into which they are to enter. If a mistake has been
made in the choice or from any other reason the child be not
satisfactory, the Society bears the trouble and expense of it's return.
These children are of both sexes but are chiefly boys who range in age
from five to fifteen years of age.
If you apply for a child you should be prepared to satisfy the Society
that you will furnish the comforts of home; that you will treat the
little one as a real member of your family by taking the place of father
and mother to him as far as possible; and that you will give him the
education and moral training which will fit him to take a respectable,
self-supporting place in the community.
If you have never had a boy about you, you can hardly imagine how
interesting he can be, and how he can renew you interest in life by
relieving you of the many small areas of the farm. Let this society send
you a nice active boy to run errands, bunt the eggs, bring the cows, or
possible we could send you a sweet little girl to cheer your household
in return for the comfort and protection of an approved home.
Kindly send your name and address telling about your home and desires
and an agent of our Society will be pleased to correspond with you.
Make you application direct to Miss Clara Comstock, Agent, Box 117, Des
Moines, Iowa. |
