It also provides oversight without taking a child from its own home, it furnishes medical care, mental examinations, education and church influence, and it extends these to cover boys and girls of high school age, convalescents, the friendless, the sick, unmarried mothers, and anyone who needs attention, such as Koiil Doris Roberta MISS KATHARINE P.
