(The Board of State Charities of Indiana, 1905-10-01)
This pamphlet is published by the Board of State Charities of Indiana in response to the demand for the information, in accessible
form, contained in the exhibit made by the Board for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis, in 1904. The exhibit
was prepared at the request of the Indiana World's Fair Commission. Though small, it was as comprehensive as was possible in
the limited space at the Board's disposal, and was awarded a Grand Prize (the highest recognition) by the Committee on
Awards. Some slight additions have been made and many of the statistics have been brought to date.
