Jamison, superinten dent of Connie Maxwell orphanage, at Greenwood. It is an expression of appreciation of one of America’s out standing orphanage pioneers, and com ing as it does ten years after his death, it has double significance and shows the unique and secure position Dr. Ja cobs will always hold in the esteem and love of orphanage workers. When Dr. Jacobs founded the Thorn- well orphanage in 1875 and made the first plea in South Carolina for the orphan child, he was fifty years ahead of his time. Principles now being agi tated by child welfare leaders in America, after this long period, are the identical ideals for which he stood alone at the beginning and which have continued to characterize this institu tion up to the present day. Dr. Jacobs still lives after a decade, and he will continue to live on and on. Orphan children and workers will long keep green and fragrant in their hearts the memory of this big-hearted and lovable friend who went away when Thornwell’s founder died.

It seems but a short period since he was in our midst, but as we look back up on the decade we can see that things have been stirring lively in children’s institutions since he went away from, us. His place has never been filled, as j no doubt it never will be. We have had to work without him each as best as he could. The dear good man oc cupied a unique place in the field of child welfare and stood alone for many years for certain principles that have i now been accepted by nearly all of us.

A HEALTH MENACE Mosquitoes jn Clinton this summer have been unusually bad. From all sections of the city the complaint has been heard and unusual annoyance has been caused by these pests. The presence of mosquitoes imme diately indicates that there is a rea son for this condition. It means that stagnant water is being allowed to ac cumulate in the community in streams, old tin cans or other kinds of garbage. This condition, allowed to exist, is a! dangerous menace to the health of the J community and makes for the spread mcrce of disease. Mosquitoes are dangerous in spreading malaria fever and sev eral cases now in the city are doubt less attributable to this condition. The Chamber of Commerce will in time secure for us more industries, better farm conditions, a wider trade them all had the culture, the refine ment and the high ideals of child care. As we recall the work of this noble man we feel that he was not simply the friend of Presbyterian orphans. He was the friend of all orphan and dependent children.
