iv ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL.
The work of this institution has outgrown its endow- ment. Out of 2,704 patients last year, all but 316 were free. The Hospital had to refuse hospital patients for the want of proper accommodation. A large part of their land, bounded by Ninth and Tenth Avenues and 58th and 59th Streets, is unoccupied, and great need is felt for more buildings and a larger endowment to attend to the pressing needs of the neighborhood. Their work has, since its foundation, grown from 720 to 2,704 patients in the wards of the hospital and to 25,948 in the dispensary.
The expenses for the year ending December 31st, 1891, were $126,242.05, and the receipts of income from all sources $105,921.78, showing a deficiency of $20,320,27.
Any of the Trustees will be happy to give information on the subject, or donations may be sent direct to the Treasurer,

x AMERICAN FEMALE GUARDIAN SOCIETY AND HOME FOR THE FRIENDLESS, 29 E. 29th Street and 32 E. 30th Street,
Established in 1834, Incorporated in 1849, is the pioneer of child- saving institutions in this country. In view of the moral evils exist- ing its motto has ever been "Prevention is easier than cure," It is undenominational and the work has been carried on from the first by women.
Its first step was the establishment of a semi-monthly paper, THE ADVOCATE AND FAMILY GUARDIAN, which is now in its 58th volume. The second step in this work of reform was the employment of MISSIONARIES to visit the wretched tenements in the moral wastes of the city.
The third was the erection of a HOME where exposed, neglected, and cruelly treated children could be protected. This Home for the Friendless has stood for over forty years and has sheltered nearly 40,000 little inmates. These children are not consigned to institution life, but when legally committed are transferred by adoption to Christian homes, to be trained to virtue and usefulness.
The fourth step in this child-saving work has been the establish ment of INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS in destitute parts of the city, into which the children of the street, such as are below the level of the publie schools, are gathered. Twelve of these are now in successful opera- tion, with an annual registry of between five and six thousand. The industries of sewing, cooking, housekeeping, etc., aretaught. A daily lunch of bread is provided and clothing for the most needy.
The Society supports also a BRANCH HOME for summer use at Oceanport, New Jersey.
The schools are partially supported from the public school fund, but the Society is not endowed, and its main support is derived from voluntary contributions and bequests. Money aid is greatly needed.
FORM OF DEVISE AND BEQUEST.
I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to the AMERICAN FEMALE GUARDIAN SOCIETY AND HOME FOR THE FRIENDLESS of the city of New York (here insert the amount of money or personal property be- queathed, or real estate devised), the same to be used for the purposes of said Society.

xiii Hebrew Sheltering Guardian Society of New York. (ORPHAN ASYLUM.) Grand Drive, 11th Avenue, bet. 150th and 151st Streets; Branch, Corner Avenue A and 87th Street.
The aim and earnest effort of this Society is to care for such Jewish children as are required by law to be placed in an institution, by re- moving them from all harmful associations, and by surrounding them with the religious, moral and educational influences best adapted to their individual needs. When properly trained, oppor- tunities are provided for them to enter the ranks of society and to lift themselves by honest industry and mo' al worth.
It shelters about 600 boys and girls from 3 to 14 years of age. Its sanitary provisions and its cheerful and homelike arrangements are unsurpassed To prevent institutionizing the children those of a proper age are sent to the public schools.
The Managers urge those who are charitably inclined to become satisfied. by personal inspection, of their successful efforts to better the cond tion of those helpless ones who have been entrusted to their care, and earnestly solicit the benevolent support and aid which is so greatly needed.

This Association is devoted to the protection of the moral purity of the twenty-millions of children under twenty-one years of age in this country by the suppression of obscene and indecent books, pic- tures, immoral articles, gambling. lotteries, etc. It hopes to prevent a scourge to the community arising from the spread of these vices, by keeping the children pure-preventing their becoming inoculated with moral leprosy. It is a work which appeals to every lover of humanity. Each one of the evils named above is a crime-breeder. Thus far, more than 56 tons weight, or upwards of 112,000 pounds, of corrupt matter has been seized and destroyed, and over 1,560 persons arrested.
Those who have become best acquainted with this Reform have declared it to be "the most important of any in existence." Surely the protection of the morals of twenty millions of children is worthy of the support of all good citizens.
For eighteen years sustained by voluntary contributions,

xiv STATE CHARITIES AID ASSOCIATION.
OFFICE: 21 UNIVERSITY PLACE, NEW YORK.
Organized in 1872 to bring about much-needed reforms in the Poorhouses, Almshouses and other public Charitable Institutions of the State of New York, and to secure improved methods in the ad- ministration of poor relief. No other voluntary organization is de- voting itself to this field. Its work is carried on primarily by County Visiting Committees, invested in 1881 by the Legislature with power of visitation and inspection. The Association has fifty-one such committees in the State.
The influence for good of the Association has been shown in the general improvement of the institutions visited, and in greater effi- ciency in the administration of the poor laws. Among special re- sults are:
1. The establishment of the Bellevue Hospital Training School for Nurses, New York City, 1872.
2. The formation of a committee to supply hospitals, asylums, etc., with books and newspapers, 1874.
3. The initiation of the movement for Tenement House Reform in New York City, 1879.
4. The passage of the "Tramp Act," 1880.
5. The formation of the Society for Instruction in First Aid to the Injured, 1882-83.
6. The passage of the Act Restricting the Imprisonment of Wit- nesses. 1883.
7. The establishment of the first Working Girls' Clubs in New York City, 1884-85.
8. A special course of training in the care of the insane to gradu- ates of the Bellevue Training School, 1885.
9. The passage of the Act authorizing the establishment of Muni- cipal Lodging Houses in New York City. 1886.
10. The passage of the Acts whereby the Poorhouse system of car- ing for the insane has been abolished and the State assumes the charge and maintenance of her dependent insane, 1890 and 1891.
The Association is supported entirely by voluntary contributions. Persons interested in its objects are asked to remember it in making bequests; and also to send present donations to

XV The New York Bible and Fruit Mission
TO OUR PUBLIC HOSPITALS.
1
This Mission is well organized, broad and beneficent ; but, from the very nature of its work, it cannot be self-supporting.
The Coffee House, the Lodging House and the Broom Factory re- turn a small income ; they are not entirely self-supporting.
The expenses of the Hospital and Penitentiary-visiting, the Chapel, and the help given to the tenement house population-in the way of Industrial Classes, Entertainments, etc .- must be met by outside assistance.
THE MISSION IS UNDENOMINATIONAL, and has no paid agent to col- lect funds. The Trustees are making great effort to secure some definite income, and earnestly ask contributions and bequests towards a permanent fund, or to meet immediate running expenses if preferred.
