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.

ister of The Netherlands signed to
