save one or two caaea found the
little ones w4l cared for. In tbe
exceptional cases, the children are
being kept out of Ecfcool because
tbelr labor is wanted at home, and
as school privileges are one of the
first requirements exacted by the
Aid Society, Mr. Teuscher will
recommend the w'thdrn-wal of one
iittle girl from the home where she
is located. In tbe other cases mat
ters will be satisfactorily adjusted
and the children will receive the
privileges due them. This work at

worthy one and should be heartily
supported by every citizen of the
