SCHOOL. One case OF cruelty WAS brought
70 the attention Of the Directors during
the year, when the ckild was removed.
The Directors desire 30 be informed Of
any ill-treatment Of Children bound out
from the poor house. They should have
the sympathy of ALI and thus secure
proper treatment.
OUTDOOR TlELIEF.
The outdoor relief is the most perplex-
ing question the Directors have to deal
with. There have been times when the
county has been greatly imposed upon,
and other times, perhaps, when relief
was refused when it should have been
granted
The relief granted to various persons
in the county was only a few hundred
dollars less than that granted by the d.
rectors of the Poor of Allegheny eoanty,
with ten times greater population. We
have tried to do what was right 10 all
parties in granting relief. Many were
refused who applied while some are de-
serving of relief who have not applied.
Idleness is akin to poverty, and from this
class more frequently GENES the call for
relief. Relief asked for on account Of
sickness or death is always granted.
Many apply and freely take reiiei, but
when asked to come 10 the Home they
refuse this is mistake
Many of the people OF the county do
not have half thecoaforts at their homes
that the inmates of the Poor House have.
Those who are wholly dependent on
others and want relief should be required
to come 10 the Home, and this is notice
70 all such hereafter who apply for re-
lief and who are dependent, to come at
once to the Poor House.
INMATES.
During the year there was sn average
of seventy-four inmates in the uome-
They we're all made comfortable, and
very few complaints were heard, and
these only from those who are old and
greatly afflicted with the Ills OF life.
Good beds aud comfortable rooms are
provided, and wholesome food in abund-
anee prepared. A large hospital room is
badly needed for the male inmates which
will be especially provided for in the
erection Of the new building.
prr r,-rr.r-. -,-r,--rr--.-
During the year there were regular
services once each month by Elder Val
entine Blough, who also ofieiated at the
funerals. His services were rendered
gratuitously, for which the Directors, as
well as the public return their thanks.
DEATHS
There were twelve deaths at the Home
during the year. All, with but two ex-
ceptions, had reached ther allotted time,
trhee score and ten years, aud when the
summons came il was q welcome visitor.
