Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the National Conference of Charities and Correction: At the Nineteenth Annual Session Held in Denver, Col., June 23-29, 1892 Dependent Children, Interstate Migration, the Organization of Charities, the Colony System for the Feeble-minded, and the two forms of State Care of the Insane, illustrated by the system of New York and that of \visconsin. The memorial service in remembrance of Oscar mcculloch does not need to be specially mentioned, since every reader will turn to those pages. Unfortunately, the discussions of the sectional meetings were not stenographically reported. The committee having charge of each section appointed its own chairman and secretary, and the reports were furnished by them to the official reporter. The success of these meetings and the value of their discussions would probably justify full stenographic reports in future, unless these should swell our annual volume to a size too large for convenient use. The present volume is the largest we have ever issued, although several of the reports and other documents and many of the Speeches in debate have been materially abridged by their authors or by the editor. The Reports from States are made up differently from the usual form, and, although incomplete, give more information about the charities of the whole coun try than can be elsewhere found. Portions of the volume can be obtained separately by application to the printer, George H. Ellis, 141 Franklin Street, Boston.
