Ii has been estimated that sixty dol
lars a year constitute the necessary ex-
peuse for each child in the orphanasa.
Thus the endowment necessary for the
twenty-five girls would be twenty-five
thousand dollars. which. invested M six
per cent. would give sixty dollars a year
each. Already Captain John u Bullock.
OF Rocky Mount. and Mr.. Sidney McMul-
len. or Hartford. have promised one thou

schools in the State have promised he

be depended upon. ana one that will
grow larger and larger as time goes en-.
Already subscriptions for this fund have
been made in great number. and are com

of competent teachers. and will be OF a
most practical nature. consisting OF the
rudiments of an English education and
practical instruction in industrial branch
es OF various kinds. so that when a girl
leaves the orphanage. she viii be equipped

start by some kind Of skilled work.
