W.C.T.U. MEETING
MISS MARGARET MOSS SPEAKS ON CHILD WELFARE
An interested gathering of members of the various branches of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union met at the Y.W.C.A. yesterday afternoon to meet Miss Margaret Moss, of Pennsylvania, who spoke on “Child Welfare.”
In speaking about the work in Pennsylvania, Miss Moss said that the dependent child, who is “only skin and bones and soul,” is the responsibility of a separate State Bureau of Children, Every effort is made to keep the child with his own family as far as possible, or if he. must be separated to have him placed, in a foster family. This work, to be successful, must be done by trained workers. Institutions are still used, but the modern trend is to develop them on the cottage plan, so that the atmosphere will be as homelike as possible. The W.C.T.U. has recently parsed a resolution urging the separation of the Child Welfare Department from the Department of Education.
