New Head for Indiana Children's Home Appointed
John L. Peetz elected superintendent of the Indiana Children's Home society to replace Sumner W. Haynes who resigned to practice law in Portland. Peetz will also serve as state statistician with Thomas Brolley slated to take his state post. Four district superintendents will earn $65 a month and Peetz will be paid $1,800 annually. A merger with the Children's Aid Association was deemed inadvisable for now, but cooperation will continue. The library commission reports a sharp rise in traveling library circulation statewide, driven by farming communities and women’s clubs, with open shelf lists and study sets expanding access.
