Pres. [Joseph F.] Smith said that Mrs. Arthur Brown had called to see [him] in reference [to] the matter of assisting the orphan's home, of which she is a director. Among other things she said that of the 2000 children taken care of in that institution during the past 19 yrs. 97% were of Mormon parentage and 3% of gentile parentage. Though not in a position to dispute this assertion, Pres. Smith said that he did not believe it. He requested Elder Clawson to ascertain the facts in the premises and report.
