LADIES OF THE DUBUQUE SOLDIERS
ORPHANS AID SOCIETY:
1 owe you an apology for SO tardy an
acknowledgement of the very timely
and valuable box of clothing and bed.
ding which you forwarded to the Home
the early part of this month. Had you,
contribution been Tess uatudble it would
have been acknowledged sooner proba-
bly,; but since its arrival, while the
children have been coming in, I have
been so overpressed with labor in pro-
viding for their comfort, that I have
had no opportunity to make such an
acknowledgement as felt the special
merits of your case demanded. On look
ing over the bill accompanying the box,
I have concluded that even you were
not aware of the richness of your gift,
for by modest error ON the last half
sheet, you made the footing S62, 90 less
than the actual misunderstanding the
sum total 1924 81 instead of S462, 57, ac-
cording to your figures. s# alH..ts
Permit me to state what has seemed
to me the special excellence of your
gift: In the first place, you did not ,ouit
for an appeal from as, but even sent
one of your number here, at your own
expense, to inquire into our needs. The
contribution, too, was most timely. Just
when the children began to come in,
and when we would, without your gift,
have been greatly troubled to provide
them with suitable clothing, your con-
tribution arrived to gladden. our hearts
and prevent the occurrence Of suffering.
Your thoughtfulness, too, in preparing
a suitable variety, both of kinds and
sizes, in the clothing, was most COM
mendable. We have, in consequence,
had no trouble in providing the neces-
sary garments for all the children we
have yet received. The quality of the
articles completed the excellence of the
gift, for the clothing was mostly new,
and of excellent material. .-a.' rs
The ladies of Hopkinton and Bradford
have also generously aided us.
We hope that YOU, with our other
friends, will still keep in mind the plan
upon which we are now principally
working, which is in substance this TO
have the ladies of a particular Aid Soci-
ETY. agree to furnish one or more rooms
and thereafter, if they are willing to do
so, attend also to clothing the inmates.
Rooms thus furnished will have the
name of the donating society neatly af-
fixed to the doors. ii"
With many thanks for your past ia
vors, subscribe myself,
Your servant, ...-...--s. E,.L -.

days. In this way clearer ideas of these

allowed each session for taking up and

Wednesday afternoon the presence OF
Professor Kissell, of Davenport, agent

on the Art of Teaching in its practical
bearing. His ideas were set forth in his
usual lively and instructive style.
Rev. Albert True, of Cedar Falls, was
present several days, and on Friday
evening delivered very able and inter-
esting lecture. Suhject-Teaching, the

Notwithstanding the disagreeableness

The greatest energy, goodwill and
harmony characterized all the proceed
