THE CHILD'S 3AVINQ INSTITUTE.
Engaged In the Noble Mission
of
Protecting and Saving Destl
tute and Helpless Children.
The chlof objoct of tho work of tho
Child Saving Institute Is to savo and
protect dcstltuto and hclploss chil
dren. For the most part It Is support
ed by the freo gifts of philanthropic
men nnd wonion of Omaba. Such an
Institute could not long survive in a
small community where tho pooplo
are as a rule unable to make largo
contributions. Experience shows that
charitable organizations of the roagnl
tulo and effectiveness of the Child
Saving Inslltuto can subsist only In
large population contors, where, of
course, there 1b tho greatest need of
its kind offices. In tho absence of
such organization In the small towns
dopondent children must bo taken
Into the homos of benevolent men nnd
wonion who thus assurno tho burden
for the community and In somo cases
these good people can 111 afford to do
so. In every town and vlllago thero
nro examples of this work of humani
ty, bo that ovorybody has come to
know and to realize the absoluto
aocessWy for providing some system
atic mean's of caring for uufortunato
children. This In why well-to-do
people In tho country towns express a
willingness to contribute to tho sup
port of the Child Saving Instltuto
which has from Its origin received
dostltutc children from many places
outsldo of Omaha. In cvory case of
this kind the Institute not only re
lieved the local community of tho
burden of caring for such children,
but It brought to the relief of tho
children a systematic, efllciont means
of protection and euro as the result of
much study anl experlenco an equip
ment ImpoBsIblo to a small town.
The officers of the Instltuto do not
stop to inquire whother the people of
any community havo dono their full
duty by the dependent children re
commended for admission to the In
stitute; they are taken In and glvett
tho best possible earn, and later
placed Into good homes in this or
tome other comniunllv. It Is puroly a
work of humanity, deserving of the
sympathy and support of every man
and womnn in the west. The board
of trustees make an appeal to benevolent-minded
men In tho towns and
villages of Nebraska for contributions
In support of the Institute and to help
eroct u new building now contemplat
ed and which Is a necessity to the In
creasing demands of tho work.

Accompanying the message are ex

tho country. The president says: "It is
especially Important that tho develop

"I especially commend to congress

sion us to the relation between for
ests and stream How In Its bearing
upon the Importance of tho forest
lands In national ownership, With
out an understanding or this ultimate
relation the conservation of both theso
natural resources must largely fall.
"Tho time has fully arrived for rec
ognizing In tho law tho responsibility

ns to caiiHO erosion mid to lujuro

In conclusion the president urges
upon congress tho desirability of
maintaining n national commission on
tho conservation of tho resources of
tho country. Ho ndds: "I would also
advise that an appropriation o.f at
