A GRAND WORK.
Biount Co. industrial Home, Its OBJ
jects, It's Management etc.


was founded by, and has been un-
der the immediate supervision of
the "Local Council of Women of
Maryville." This Council is COM
posed of representatives from
twelve different associations of
women in Maryville, who are inter-
ested in philanthropy, education,
literature, art and social reform.
The object of this Institution is
to furnish a home, educational,
moral and Industrial training, 10
children under sixteen years Of age.
This Home was opened on Feb. Is
1894. There are, in the "Home" at
present, sixteen children. Each
child is taught to work, so that
they may become seifsustaining
when they go out from the "Home'
The day school is taught by the
assistant matrn, Miss M0llie
Gamble, who reports that the
children ar making progress in
their studies, although they do not
have all the books they need, a
portion of scripture is read, and
prayer offered morning and even
ing in the Home wheE al the
children are present. They attend
church, and Sabbath School every
Sabbath, and are thus continually
brought under christian influences,
which will most surely tell for good
upon their future life and work.
