GRAYSON COUNTY ORPHANS
Three Children Sent to Mrs. I.Z.T. Morris at Ft. Worth

Through the efforts of Judge Dayton B. Steed, of the county court, three children, inmates of the county poor farm northwest of Sherman, have been takenf rom the farm and will be place in good homes. The children, one girl and two boys, have been sent to the Texas Children's Home and AId Society in Ft. Worth, where they will be kept until proper homes can be found for them, the institution acting as an agency for bringing the homeless child and the childless home together.
But one child is left at the farm northwest of town now, and every effort is being made to secure a good home with a respectable family for it. This is a condition that has long been sought at the county farm, as it has never been felt that this was the proper place for dependent children, and the move to place them in private homes is a part of the plan worked out to better conditions at the place.
The children, all of them orphans, who were taken to Ft. Worth are: Susie Lane, Benson Arnold and Frank Arnold. The institution in which they will be placed for the present is private and is in charge of Mrs. I.Z.T. Morris.
