One of the younger boys writes:

ing nice time / take the horses down
to the watering tub, give them drink
and take them back to the barn. l shall
learn to milk the COWS soon. We have
eleven cows. Please tell the boys to re-
member this, that they cannot stand
and look at electric cars when they get
on farm
Another writes:

it was seventy cents; and a box of can
dy for good behavior. l put my money
in the bank, Did the orphans have a
nice time Christmas time, and nice
donation visit?"
Another boy writes:

at the mill, I help deliver grain and so
forth. / take him to the depot, l get

One of the girls writes:

en-. I like to have houses cleaning time

Another of the older girls writes:
IT have one more year here. I had
nice time Christmas. I can make every
thing in cooking now except pies, and
Mrs. p said she would teach me how
to make those. I get breakfast every
morning"
Still another writes:
IT often think of what beautiful
home l had at the asylum; tears will
come as I remember it. I wish I was
there as 1 was seven years ago. l wish
I could live those happy days over
again. The prayers that were taught
to us are in my memory now as when
child. When I am tempted to say or
do what would grieve my Heavenly
Father those words you used to say to
us girls on Sundays, When tempted to
do wrong ask Jesus to help you come
to me again.
Next week your children will have a
happy time in remembrance of the birth
of Christ. / wish I could be there and
see the Christmas tree"
These extracts give fair impression
of the many letters received They
show the character of the children and
of the homes where they are trained.
They show also the result of our work
and encourage us with the hope that
our labor is not in vain.
The year has brought to us sorrow
and loss. The death of Hon. Luzon B.
Morris, which occurred August %, re-
moved from our board Of trustees a
valued member, upon whose wisdom we
relied, and whose loss we deeply la
ment
We close our report with sincere
thanks to all who have aided us in our
work, and ask that the help so freely
extended to us in the past may still at
tend us in the year which now opens.
In behalf of the managers,
MARY L. PUNDERSON.
