baby. Hence,
in such cases, the mother is expected to visit her child frequently, and
to provide for its support.

The other class of children dealt with in a permanent way are those who
are picked up from the street, or who otherwise fall into the hands of
the Army, often after being deserted by their parents. While Orphanages,
as already stated, are not an important item in the Army's work, there
are several in England and four in the United States. For the situation
of an Orphanage, a country location is sought. For instance, one near
New York City is located on a beautiful piece of property at Spring
Valley. Another is at Rutherford, N. J. One of the largest is situated
near San Francisco, California, and one of the latest additions for this
purpose has been the securing of a fine piece of property at Lytton
Springs, Cal. In all, there is accommodation for two hundred and
twenty-five children in the United States.

CONCLUSION.

We have now covered the work of the Salvation Army social movement in
its different branches. We have described the work, the extent and the
management of each department. We have also considered the criticisms
and objections to which each department is open, and we have attempted
to estimate the value of each department to society. We have arrived at
the conclusion that the work of the Industrial Department, leaving out
the Industrial Colony, is a practical, deserving and successful effort
to put unfortunate men once more on their feet, at no expense to the
public, saving a slight embarrassment to those already engaged in the
salvage and second hand business; that the Army lodging house is the
best so far offered for the housing of the lower homeless class,
although not entirely satisfactory; that the Slum Work is good, but
limited in its scope, owing to the religious sentiment attached, and the
mental inferiority of its workers; that the Rescue Work is about the
best of its kind; and that good work is being done in other directions,
such as the prison work, the employment bureaux and the children's work.
On the other hand, we have found that the two Industrial Colonies and
three Farm Colonies are not successful enough to warrant any additional
expenditure o
