It is hoped that in time such baby gardens will become either
self-supporting or public institutions. The plan here outlined has been
approved by a number of public-spirited people who have promised to
temporarily subsidize this baby garden provided fifty mothers endorse
the scheme by their readiness to enroll their babies. The amount to be
paid for the care of these babies will be decided at a meeting of the
mothers who endorse the plan. All who are interested may communicate
with me at 516 East 78th Street.

ILLUSTRATED IMMORALITY
TO THE EDITOR:
I want to get together a collection of pictures from which to make
slides for a lecture on illustrated immorality in its relation to our
people, to the city and to the state. Will you not publish this letter
asking for suggestions from your readers. To give an idea of my purpose
I have on my list the Laocoön, St. Michael and the Dragon and St.
George, Sir Galahad, Circe and the Swine, the triumphal march of
Bacchus, a picture published by the Chicago _Tribune_ last September
illustrating the tale of a white slave, and a most effective picture
used widely in Atlanta of a hideous monkey-man beast carrying the body
of a girl under one arm and a bludgeon in the other hand.
I want more symbolical pictures like these and I want also pictures
representing actual conditions in our cities, depicting perhaps the
temptations to the young. With the latter I would have to have some
exact information. I include, of course, the saloon in the scope of my
interests as I see no distinction between the twin evils, the saloon and
the bawdyhouse.
