TOME INSTITUTE.

The class list at Tome Institute, Port
Deposit, have been arranged and show
a noteworthy increase in the number OF
pupils registered. The effects of the
reorganization made by DR.. james @.
Mackenzie have already begun to
show. Boys have been entered from
New York, Illinois. Indiana, Colorado,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and
West Virginia. Naturally nest of the
$50 boys are from Maryland, hut the
number of pupils from abroa would
have been greater had il been possible
for their parents to find lodgingin Port
Deposit Many families, attracted by
the educational facilities, have been
kept away by their inability to serure
houses. This will be obviated as soon
as possible
Mrs. N. B. Donaldson, engaged to
look after the boarding of the pupils,
has taken charge. In the care of the
boys new features will be introduced.
A refined motherly woman will be en-
gagged to have the matronly care of
groups Of fir ON ID TO 90 boys. This will
insure complete supervision and allow
personal attention to each pupil. 1t Is
expected there will be two or three such
matrons in each of the large houses
used for lodging the boys. Mrs. Don
aldson will have charge of the first Of
these houses, which is nearing compile
tion.

prosperity unknown in its history. The
