Excerpt from Charities, Vol. 6: A Weekly Review of Local and General Philanthropy, January-June, 1901, With IndexBefore closing I would like to speak brie¿y of two of the cases which have greatly interested me, and in which I have positive proof of good results: L K th street, a young woman aged twenty-eight, complete paralysis of the left side, destitute, without any means of sup port, depending on her friends for food. After some persuasion She consented to go to the Colored Home and Hospital. Her recovery is very doubtful. The probabilities are she will never again be able to work and support herself and child, a girl of thirteen years. They have no rela tives. The girl stands alone. No one appeared to have any interest in her excepting a woman in the next house who has made it her business to be particularly nice to her, thus winning her affection and good will. On investigation I find the woman is not a fit person to have a child as she is not a person of good morals. I asked the mother to let me have the care of her child, this She con sented to do. She was then placed in a respectable family, the woman promising to care for her until I could' place her in an industrial school, which I hope to do early in January. I visit the home from time to time and am satisfied that the child is protected from those who would injure her. In this case I think I can safely say good has been accomplished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
