ORPHANAGES WITHOUT ORPHANS
Sir,4-As a postcript to your interesting articles and correspondence on the above subject, it may be of interest to many of your readers to have the latest figures, given by the report of the Child Welfare Department, concerning "Orphanages." There are in New Zealand 78 registered Children’s Homes conducted by private organisations, These contain 2,418 children (a decrease of 152 on the previous year). Of these 99 are total orphans, 236 have lost the father, and 426 the mother. Thus of the 2,418 children that are a charge on our charity only 31.4 per cent. can be classified as "orphaned," of which 4 per cent, are "total" orphans.
