No association whose object embraces the care of dependent, neglected, abused, or
delinquent children, or the placing of such children in private homes, shall be incorporated
unless the proposed articles of incorporation have been submitted first to the department
of children and youth. The secretary of state shall not issue a certificate of incorporation to such association

are reputable and respectable persons, the proposed work is needed, and the incorporation
of such association is desirable and for the public good. Amendments proposed to the articles of incorporation of any such association shall
be submitted in like manner to the department, and the secretary of state shall not
record such amendment or issue a certificate therefor until there is filed in the
secretary of state's office the certificate of the department that it has examined
such amendment, that the association in question is performing in good faith the work
undertaken by it, and that such amendment is a proper one, and for the public good.
