anniversary mett ting Of the board of
directors OF The Girls Industrial Home,

CATION at the second Presbyterian

the interest wh.v.. is taken by our cir
izeus in this worthy and excellently
managed institution. M)st OF tue
other churches gave way and were

= school. five are employed in the sew
}, ing and domestic departments, and
q five are too small to attend school or
. work. The sewing department is
). represented as being the only
Ii course of income except from
9 dues and donations. The excellent
u management of the present
# matron. Mrs. Lord, is highly spoken
d OF. Both reports set forth the absolute
Is necessity for a new building, both or
