Deneen, Governor of Illinois: Springfield, Illinois, December 31, 1911 But often a long time elapses before the wrong has been discovered and the child rescued from his exploiter. Unbelievable stories of inbu mane treatment of these children are, unearthed every year. The placing of girls in homes where there are sons has resulted in scandal, ruin and despair for the dependents. The investigation of the home into which children are to be placed by these private institutions is so miserably inadequate, almost without exception, that it condemns the Illinois system of caring for its dependent children as unworthy of support. Nearly sixty private institutions for the care of dependent children have been chartered and certified by the State. There is a wide range in their sources of income and in the motives which prompt their activity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
