To the New York State Board of Charities: In beginning our Seventh Annual Report, justice to ourselves demands that we should mention the disadvantage under which the Association has labored since the date of its last Report, in the absence of its President. The severe and almost unremitting labors of Miss Schuyler in the interest of the Association from the date of its organization, had so impaired her health that the visit to Europe, which, when she sailed last May, was intended to be of short duration, was necessarily extended, and she has not yet returned. Children. Our Standing Committee on Children, with the desire of ultimately making itself a bureau of information in regard to existing methods of caring for dependent children, has recently appointed two sub-committees. The first is for the study of the modes practised in France, Germany, and England. It is hoped that from this study may be drawn certain practical conclusions as to the proper provision to be made in our own country for those children who have committed petty criminal offences, and who evince vicious propensities and require reformatory treatment." The duty of the second sub-committee is to obtain accurate information in regard to every institution in the State, public and private, for the care and reception of children, the character and management of these institutions, etc. Since its appointment, this sub-committee has been hard at work; time, however, is required, and although much information has been collected, especially in regard to New York City institutions, the work is by no means completed. |
