THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: MARCH 9, 1919. HEW FilERGY HOME AND SCHOOL FOR 170RKIMG GIRLS Promoters Feel That it Fill a Long Felt Want; Campaign to Start Soon. That the interest in the new Mercy Home and School for Work ing Girls is increasing, can readily b by the way people are talc- T-oii of this human endeavor. The wife of a well known business man, in speaking about the new home yesterday said: "It brings to my mind very for cibly the time when I came to Oma ha from a nearby village filled with confidence and hope for the future, only to find them both shattered b,- the hurrying, independent crowds of the business world. "I found you had to fight your own little battles without the ad vice and counsel of a motherly hand. Many a heartache have 1 had alone, with no one to confide in, no companion to guide me, ex cepting those morally inefficient and undesirable. Only by good health rnd strong will power did I manage to pull through. Shudders at Pitfalls. "I shudder when I think of others having to pass over the same grounds whose pitfalls have increas ed a hundred fold with the growth of our city. How well I know the temptations and cares confronting those who are friendless and alone." A prominent business man of West Farnam street, in his letter to Mother Leo of the seminary, said: "I heartily agree with you in the purpose of your worthy undertak ing. You and your band of sisters have done a great deal for the suf fering people of our city during the past fifty-five years. "You have moulded the lives of many of our young women in your educational work. The people of Omaha owe you a good deal, both Catholic and Protestant. "I wish you success in your under taking and'you can count on me as one of your friends to help out in every way." Offer Their Support. One of the leading live stock mer chants in his letter says: "Regarding your plan for a suit able home and school for the poorer classes of working girls, I wish to assure you that you have my best wishes for your success in this won derful undertaking, and further you will have whatever support I can lend in aiding you in this deserving and worthy cause." One of Omaha's most prominent lawyers writesi "I will be very glad indeed to do all in my power to assist in this very good work. My time is al ready fully occupied and much of it with work of a public character outside my own private engage ments. j "But in spite of this fact, if I can do anything to assist in the cam paign I will be only too glad to do 10." Ring of Humanity. One of Omaha's leading physi cians says: "I can assure you -I fully appre ciate your earnest efforts in behalf of our young working girls. It has the true depths and ring of humani ty. It will not only aid and pro tect these young girls, but put them in a fair way to really understand their God and the proper usefulness of their talent and ability as well as love and consideration for their companions and future neighbors. "It is indeed a noble work for God, humanity and our country, and I shall be most happy to know how I can in any way assist or aid you." . Location Ideal. The location for this home is ideal, because it is out of the factory and smoke filled district, yet ad mirably situated within walking dis tance of the general business offices and stores, thereby eliminating the extra expense of carfare, the long tiresome ride or walk when evening overtakes the poor tired working The prevalent atmosphere of home life and companionship, to geth ;r with all the conveniences of a modern home, will hold out a wel come hand to the tired working girl, strengthen her moral standard, and elevate her ideals, thereby discour aging that longing for the excite ment of the street with it's bright lights and late hours. Several patriotic societies have taken the matter up with great en thusiasm. A meeting of the Joan of Arc club will be held Sunday af ternoon to perfect plans for a big musicale and entertainment to be held at one of the leading theaters the first week after Easter. Efforts also are being made to secure Mr. John McCormack, the world famed opera star, to come to Omaha on behalf of this praise worthy undertaking. A meeting of prominent citizens and business men will be held at the campaign headquarters, 210 South Seventeenth street, on Friday even ing, next, at 8 p. m., when plans will he discussed and put into shape for the intensive drive which com mences on Monday, April 7.
