The Boys" and Girls' Aid Society has given refuge to 881 neglected and de pendent children for the year .which closed April 30. 1916. Many cases of distress which have been relieved are described in the 30th annual report of the society, just issued. The placing of children in new homes has been the primary work of the in stitution. Although the ' ime pro vides refuge for 40 or 60 children ail of the time, most of these are con stantly being placed in new surround ings. The receiving home cared for 45 7 children. Health Usually Poor at Start. The physical condition of the chil dren received at the home is usually poor, and according to the report five out of seven are turned over to the medical stall for treatment. A large number of operations have been per formed by the medical staff, all of whom render skilled service without remuneration.. The physical and mental condition of the children is kept up to the standard by the efforts of the directors. Play sheds are fitted up at the home so that recreation can be given the children. Special arrangements with the prin cipal of the Kerns School are in effect, whereby all children at the home can receive the teaching they most need. In manual training and in domestic science the older wards receive special courses, which gives them nearly twice as much attention as other children in the school acquire. Children Attend Story Hours. "Outside of school hours," the report says, "there is a growing tendency to learn, a tendency fostered by the offi cer in charge. It is a very usual sight to observe a supervisor surrounded by boys or girls to whom she is reading. On Fridays one supervisor, who is sup posed to be off duty those afternoons, takes her boys to the Public Libraiy, where they attend story hour classes, and afterward are permitted to chooje books from the shelves to take home." Cases of abuse and neglect are in vestigated by trained field workers in the employ of the society. DYNAMITE CACHES FOUND lixploisive Js in Lumber Company Plant Where Strike Is On. SAN FRANCISCO.
