Affecting Scene Enacted
When Margaret Dickey's
Parents Greet Her.
There is a little home In Scranton,
Pa., bright and cheerful today for the
first time in two years.
It is the home of sixteen-year-old
Margaret Dickey, who disappeared
two years ago and whose whereabouts
remained a mystery until Friday
night, when she revealed her identity
t'o a matron of the Travelers' Aid
Society in Union station, this city.
The anxious father and mother, who
months ago, gave up hope of seeing
the r daughter again, came to Wash
ington yesterday afternoon and took
het homo.
S.! The meeting wa.* one that movtd
; even the women of the Travelers' Aid,
' accustomed to such scones. Loft
i. speechless by their joy, the grateful
j- ? i>arents could only embrace and kiss
their child.
t
Statement by Mrs. Miles.
According to Mrs. Elizabeth Miles,
in chaise of the trave ers' aid booth
at the station, the girl said she left
home because of a desire to work and
make her own way in the world.
She was fourteen when she went
away.
Starch was instituted for her in all
large cities of the cast, but her
parents heard nothing until Friday
night, when they received a telephone
message from Washington that Mar
garet was here.
Mrs. Miles said she saw the girl
in the station and she evidently had
been crying. After the member of
the aid society had talked to her a
few moments she revealed her name
and the fact that she had been away j
from home for two year*. She said
she believed the girl retnained away
so long thrfcugh fear that her father
would not forgive her if she returned. I
Homesickness finally overcame her fear, j
In the opinion of the member of the I
travelers' aid.
The piano Margaret used to play In
the home at Scranton has never been I
opened since their daughter went i
away, the parents told Mrs. Miles. I
They said she was a religious girl
and had always been active in Sun
day school affairs before her sudden
departure In the autumn of 1917. One
of the women of the Traveler's Aid
Society, who took her to her home Fri
day night, said she was a bright girl
with evidence of a good education.
Any fear the girl may have enter
tained that her father would not for- t
give her for going away was dispelled
yesterday when he clasped her in his
arms.
Campaign to Seek $100,000
for Children's Institution to
Begin December 1.
The campaign for $100,000 for the
modernisation of the Children's Hos
pital is to be held the week begin
ning December 1. Preliminary or
ganization work has been completed,
it was announced last night.
The Children's Hospital was found
ed nearly fifty years ago. and many
residents of Washington remember
the first campaign which resulted in i
its establishment. At that time there |
was no Institution in the city to care I
for the children of parents too poor
to place them in other hospitals, and
none other specialized in the care of
infants and the cure of their ail
ments. It was very difficult to raise
the money for the first children's
hospital, but the original building was
erected with funds created by public
subscriptions.
The original appeal, part of which
follows, was published In The Star,
and the result was so satisfactory
that building was begun immediate
ly. Children of the city subscribed j
their pennies, and an organized band :
of little workers solicited funds from [
all the students in the Washington!
public schools.
Extract From the Appeal.
An extract from the appeal of fifty
years ago follows:
"The managers of the Children's
Hospital of the District of Columbia
beg leave to submit to the thoughtful
attention and well known liberality of
the residents of the capital an appeal
for aid In establishing on a broad
and permanent footing, in the city
of Washington, an incorporated institu
tion where the diseases and disabili
ties of poor children requiring medi
cal attention may be properly treat
. ed. free of expense, and from which
i medicines may be dispensed for their
benefit without cost or charge."
This was signed by J. C. Kennedy,
A. E. Perry, F. B. McGulre and S. H.
Kauffmann. One year later the first
annual report of the hospital au
thorities included this statement:
i "The need for its establishment has
j been verified by the number who have
j sought Us care; the benefits of Its
> benevolence by the many who have
| found relief and comfort within its
i wards, and the result, upon the lives
' and future of those who have been
' plucked from the clutches of disease
I and death?who can estimate? Chll
i dren whose after lives could only be
unhapplness, from suffering, deform
ity and disability, here, by the bless
ing of God, have been restored to
health and comeliness and fit to enter
upon the duties and enjoyments of a
life which had promised only affliction
and unhapplness."
Record of First Year's Work.
During the first year the hospital
cared for ninety-four patients. This Is
in marked contrast?but shows the
growth during the past fifty years?to
i the annual report of this year's accom
plishments. For during 191S-1919, 1,454
children were patients In the institu
tion.
Since its establishment 106,000 chil
dren have been treated at the hospital I
and 22,000 have occupied the beds
therein. Of these the majority have
been discharged cured. The death rate
j has been remarkably low.
At present the hospital maintains th
? only tubercular ward In the city whei<
j charity patients under the age of four
| teen years may be treated. There are
; twenty-four children there now suffering
from tubercular afflictions of the joints
and bones.
Outline of Proposed Improvements.
The drive will be to raise money to
add improvements to the hospital. They
will include a better system of deten
tion wards,, a covered passageway lead
ing from tho operating room and a
nurses' home. These are only among
the more important, however, and there
will be others.
