It has as Its motto: "To provide for the child who has no parents, a home and a family life; to secure him his birthright birth-right of health; to educate him and train him to earn a livelihood ; to develop de-velop his character that he may become be-come a useful and an upright citizen and to do these things so well and so economically that others shall follow this example Is the aim of the Argonne Ar-gonne association." The orphans cared for under the association's as-sociation's plan are placed In private homes In a community where they are really wanted. They are not "fanned out." There is a comimmlty school, playground and vocational training center where the children are dally brought together to get their mentAi and physical development. There are three such centers In France whera the orphans are' given three distinct stages of training. |
