Scope and Contents

Addition 20 of MSS 16758, The University of Virginia Collection on the History of Childhood, Parenting, and Family Building, contains a Salvation Army "Help the Children" flyer from June of 1903 sent to raise funds for an outing for poor children in Columbus, Ohio.

The outing was meant to "bring some brightness, cheer and comfort into the lives of the poor children of the slums and crowded tenement districts." The plea was written by John M. Richards, Adjutant, and the flyer has a cartoon illustration of a children's parade as a decorative border. On the verso of the flyer is a letter written in German written by a woman from Columbus, dated September 13, 1904.
