Arizona Proposes State Children’s Home for Orphans
In Phoenix, Arizona, a bill to establish the Arizona State Children's Home seeks to remove politics from its leadership by selecting directors from the parents of minor children and having a superintendent serve as long as the welfare of the children is served. Governor Campbell endorses the measure, noting benefits of integrating orphans into public schools and reducing institutional costs. He argues a parents’ board would better administer the home and improve outcomes for dependent children.
