We are glad 10 report the health of
these children as having been excep-
tionally good during the quarter.
They have all Except Nora Glib
son, who is MT old enough been in
school during the free term and have
missed very few days on account of
sickness. They are now in regular
attendance at the school at the
/ Home. Certain hours Of the day
having been set apart tor study, with
Miss Mollie Gamble in charge Of the
school. We herewith submit an
itemized statement of shoes and dry
goods purchased for these children
and beg 10 call your attention to the
fact that there was nothing purchased
for them during the quarter ending
Oct. I, 1894. and we feel quite sure
nothing will be needed for them this
incoming quarter. The aggregate
of the bill being $40. o3, you will see
+. by deviding it by three (the number
Of children) that the average for each
child for nine mouths is S.. Ga, or
about 40 cents per month. Then
you take into consideration the fact
that they have been comfortably
clothed for school and Sabbath
school, we feel sure you will COM
mend us for good management. We
feel that we are better equipped for
our work than we have ever been,
and hope to do practical Industrial
Home work during the year to come.
Any Suggestions the court may feel
inclined to offer, we shall be only
too glad to receive and consider.
And again we extend not only cor
dial invitation but beg the members
of the court to visit the Home the
coming quarter. We.feel this report

citation to this court for its hearty

helping the helpless. We feel sure
would you visit the Home and con-
trast the condition of these children
now with what it was before coming
