visited the school during the year. The public
school board has established school at the
Home, which relieves the managers from send

Commissioners have authorized the building of
q commodious workshop and school room, and
the different industries recommended by the
committee on industrial training will be inaug-

Corson visited the institution recently and gave
first lesson to the children in cooking. Boys
and girls were alike interested, and the mana

taught the industries as thoroughly as they
should be taught, owing to their limited means;
but they congratulated themselves on the good
accomplished. During the year six OF the boys
and girls have returned from distant points to
revisit the place, all grown up and doing well,
and thankful to the managers Of the Home for
giving them the right start in life. The build
