The ages of children placed on indenture the past year are as follows: In the past twelve months there has been made 750 visits to children, and 187 homes procured for others, 91 of which were filled; made 57 transfers from one family to another, and to the Marcella-street Home, 12; sent 3,200 letters and circulars and received 2,720. I wish to express my obligations to my associates, Mr. Chas. E. Grinnell and Mrs. E. C. Dresser, for efficiency and faithfulness, also to Miss Mary A. Maynard, who for two years previous to July last was the voluntary visitor to some 40 Catholic girls who are in familes in this city and suburbs, as well as providing homes for many. Her work was practical and effective, and her monthly visits were conducive of much good, and were looked forward to by the girls with much pleasure; but on account of ill-health she was obliged to abandon a field for which she was so qualified and in which she had accomplished so much good. To you, gentlemen of the Board, I have reason to appreciate the repeated evidence of your confidence in my work in the behalf of the unfortunates committed to your care.
