Mr. Roy M. Brown, field agent of the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare, was in town today looking after the interests of dependent, delinquent and defective children, the poverty stricken, all persons on parole from prisons, asylums or other institutions and persons in any form of distress. All such persons are under the direction of the State Board of Charities and the County Superintendent of Schools. No branch of our State Government is reaching a more needy class of people than this. The people who from causes over which they have no control and some who deliberately erred are being helped in many ways.
