Show WOMEN'S CLUBS WANT SOME LAND Propose to Take Care of Unfortunate Children. Will Teach The Children How to Work. The public should feel a great Interest In-terest In tho action of tho State Federation of Woman's Clubs In appointing ap-pointing a committee to secure, If.pos-slble. If.pos-slble. an "Industrial Farm" for the wards of the Juvenile courts of Utah. Tho Woman's Clubs of this Stato arc in hearty accord with the movement to save tho boys and girls from themselves them-selves and their sometimes unfortunate unfortu-nate and unwholesome surroundings, and they propose to do .-what now seems to be the necessary thing furnish a place for them to live and work as they grow Into manhood man-hood and womanhood. The ladles named on this committee are Mrs. McMahon, of Salt Lakoclty, Mrs. A. U. Coreyrof Ogdcn, Mrs. Ida Smoot Duscnbury, Provo, and Mrs. L. A. Ostlen, of Logan. The Committee's Hope. . The plan In mind now Is the securing secur-ing of a small plot of ground suitable for an Industrial farm, a place where tho waifs and those sent from Juvenile courts may bo taught farming and domestic science. The Idea is not entirely worked out, bdt it is proposed to erect cottages on this farm as they are needed, and place a matron Jn each cottage with perhaps ten youngsters young-sters under her charge. Then the children under good tutelago will be. taught to work and will bo under a good Iniluence always. The Morris school In Salt Lake Is tccognlzed as being an Institution of Inestimable sworth.'but the boys and gjrls sent there can only remain a month or two at most and then must be turned out to return to their old life. An "Industrial "In-dustrial Farm" would remedy this difficulty. The commlttc Is authorized io accept ac-cept bids or offers of land for sale. They want good land, of course and want it at a very reasonable price, for the club Isn't tlusli with money and to carry out tills great philanthropic scheme will require considerable money. Thk Kki'Uhmcan is Inclined to feel that the committee would bo glad to accept a good gleco of land as a gift, and it surely seems that tho object ought to appeal to somo person with money and lands who Is philanthropic-ally philanthropic-ally Inclined. |
