SPLENDID RESULTS ATTAINED AT ORPHANS HOME AND DAY NURSERY My Mrs. Frederick Loofbourow. After forty-thre- e years of service at the Orphans Home and Day Nursery, the board of directors of that institution recognized the fact that the work had developed beyond the limitations implied by the name and recently changed the name to Childrens Service Society of Utah. This home for children was organized by a small group of far sighted Christian women in Salt Lake City, who felt the need of some home to which abandoned children could be taken and cared for. They canvass among their friends from house to house asking for provisions and cloth, ing, and among the business men ask ing for financial help. It was a strng. gle that has been persistently carried on to the present time.

Frequently children cone to the home who are or who are suffering from bed teeth, tonsils or adenoids, and occasionally from diseases of more serious nature Sometimes they are emotionally disturbed or nervously unbalanced. Tt all such children the home offers s refuge where each child is studied and its physical and mental condidoi and traits thoroughly examined, sod such treatment and care given that the child is adjusted to decent and proper standards of living. The chil dren are taught to respect proper authority, they are taught the happiness of companionship and the joy of s task well done. Above all they lean and appreciate that understanding love that forgives a fault, while it iunder-nourishe- d, to better achievement. After this period of training is over, and of course the length of time varies with nspires 4 the needs of each individual child, and after all hope of returning the child to its natural parents or to its relatives is given up, the child is pi with foster parents.
