FO-R-DSON The Oregon Child Welfare commission takes scores of little children out of baby homes and child detention institutions, and finds good homes for them, thus saving thousands o f dollars a month for the tax payers, and giving the children the advan tage of being brought up in a home. The effect upon the children, in giving them a chance to live in a home and not giving them the irremovable badge of being brought up as foundlings in a state institution, is far more val uable to society.
