Excerpt from Nineteenth Biennial Report of the Board of State Commissioners of Public Charities of the State of Illinois: Being a Statistical Record of the Public Charity Service for the Period July 1, 1904 to June 30, 1906, and Embracing Recommendations for the Period July 1, 1906 to June 30, 1908 Eighteen months of the two years covered in this biennial report passed during the service of a Board of Charities headed by Dr. Will iam Jayne of Springfield, as president. The other members were Mr. Ens1ey Moore of Jacksonville, Mr. A. S. Wright of Woodstock, the Reverend Father Edward A. Kelly of Chicago, and Dr. H. C. Fair brother of East St. Louis. Colonel J. Mack Tanner was the secretary. The biennial period was ended before all the present Board of Charities appointments were made, and before sustained constructive work could be undertaken. The great part of the statistical matter in this volume developed during the active service of the retiring commissioners. Nearly all the tables were prepared on data collected by the machinery of the former board. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
