Young Roosevelts' Antics
 Cause Con1n1entat Capital

Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Washington.-Social and official circles in Washington are undecided whether to be amused or displeased at the conduct of the younger members of the Roosevelt family which, to apply the mildest term possible, is unconventional"
 While society is almost a unit in con- demning the attempts to lift the curtain and pry into the private life of the Pres ident and his family, no one disputes the perfect proprety of discussing the hap penings of public receptions, for when the public is invited anywhere it feels Tree to observe and criticise what it sees. For instance, should Teddy, Jr." throw plate of soup at his brother Archie at the family table, it is the Presidents s private business, and no one s else, but If the irrepressible Kermit should play football with the head coy- ering of the British Ambassador during the progress of diplomatic dinner if would be proper topic for tea table gossip. As yet, the line between the pub lie and private life of the Presidents S family is so faintly drawn that it has es- capped the most observant eyes. However
 
 acterizes the entire family may appeal to the general public when confined to their private affairs, their actions must be subject to adverse criticism when they pass beyond the boundary between their private and public life. President Roose- welt on horseback properly wears riding clothes, but had he appeared at his daughters ball in the same costume soci- ety would have been properly shocked and the feelings of the American people out ragged at the impropriety of his conduct.
 The gossip concerning the Christmas Eve entertainment at the White House. when a somewhat lively Virginia reel was exaggerated in some quarters in to a wild and hilarious cake walk" was confined to a very limited circle, as it was felt that when ntertaining privately the President and his family should enjoy the same immunity as they would if the head of the family was an ordinary pri-

Expenditures,

Bal. in hand Dec 31, 1901 532 Il The first $5OO0 contributed by the State was used to finish payments on land and building-of the second $5OOO, 5000 was used for installing the water plant, $500 for necessary furnishings, $250 for ce- ment floors, $315 for printing press and outfit It may readily be seen that the amount remaining was not sufficient to maintain the inmates and pay running expenses. consequently this remainder was supplimented by donations from the counties, churches Epworth Leagues, Women's Clubs and private subscrip- tions. The average cost per capita from feeding is 8 per month, and for feeding, clothing, etc., $100 per annum.

The Industrial Home Officers Make Reports,

Brown have all rendered us material aid when we were in need of a physicians 8 services, and all without charge.
 The managers of the school certainly appreciate the kindness of these three physicians, all of whom have come at our bidding, at a sacrifice, to minister to our boys. and Dr. Brown placed a room at his Inf1rmary at our disposal without charge.
 Military.
 We have not overlooked the military training of our boys. Regular drill is given them every week, and they can march and go through most of the mili- tary evolutions of a battalion. We are anxious to have them furnished with guns, so they may be taught the manuel of arms.
 Our Needs.
 We need more tools in carpenter and shoe shops, and more industries, so that we may keep our boys employed at some congenial work.
 It Is idleness that causes most of the petty crimes with boys With regular hours for sleep, play and work, good wholesome food and regular meals. we are able to accomplish wonders with the boys that are sent to us from various parts Of the State.
 We need good tailor, so that all of the clothing, sheets, beddfng5, e.c. can be made on the place. We ought to make all of our shoes, stocking and clothing. Our boys are from the following towns: Birmingham 19, Woodlawn 3, Pratt City ?, Avondale g. East Lake 1, Mont gomery 4, Guin 1. Sheffield g. Eutaw 2, Selma 4, Mobile 1, Decatur 1, Cutters vile 3, Attalla 2 Columbiana g. from Penitehtiary 8. Total 53.
 Of course a large number Is from Jeff ferson County, but the County pays for ten every month, and eight others are paid for by parents or friends
 The merchants of Birmingham have very generously given us goods at dis count. We buy groceries and dry goods of the wholesale dealers at the same prices that the retail merchant pays MT. King. the shoe man, gives us shoes for the boys at the cost price to him. MT. Saks and others give us a discount of 10 per cent on goods bought of them We bought all the caps of one kind that Saks' Clothing Company had in stock at discount of 10 per cent from his regular price. J. Blach & Sons ordered for us two and a half dozen more of the same to finish the number required, and then made us a present of them when they arrived. If we had a good tailor we
 
 with clothes made for each boy.
 We feel that we have accomplished a little during the past year and half, but 1t is not as much as we had hoped to accomplish. We hope next year to be able to report more progress. We wish to thank the members of the board for their cooperation in all our plans for the advancement of the work at the school. We earnestly hope that the boys may make such good citizens of them selves that the noble ladies and gentle men who are working with all their might for the best good of the boys of the State without any pecuniary com pensation, may feel that their labor has not been in vain.
 Respectfully submitted,

potatoes, beans, peas, etc., to last us nearly to the time when the garden will again be producing for us
 We have been supplied with 200 papers of choice seeds from Washington, through the kindness of Mir Underwood. and have also received a donation of a large box of seeds from Barber Bros of Birmingham. We have put out PIP of rhubarb and 300 asparagus roots The farm is in much better condition this year than last, and we hope to raise more food so that we will be in u measure Tn. dependent.
 Stock.
 Belonging to the Farm are two teams of mules, three cows one thoroughbred heifer, one thoroughbred bull, three hogs and six little pigs.
 Library.
 Through the kindness or friends of the school we have a good start towards a good library. Our boys are beginning to enjoy good books, and nothing gives them more pleasure than a present of books to our library We now have over 200 vol umes belonging to the school. We have tried to teach the boys that they must work for their living and that anything earned towards their support was en- joyed all the more.
 We have an abundance of work to do on our own farm, but that would not bring us any money. We needed more cutlery for our tables. Boys had come to us before we could get the needed facil- ities for caring for them. We were obliged to wash the cutlery used on the second table, after the boys had finished their meal. I suggested to the boys that they go to the cotton field of MT. Wilson and earn the money with which to buy the needed spoons, knives and forks.
 The boys were very enthusiastic and we spent a number of forenoons in Mir Wilson's cotton patch, and became quite expert at the work. After a brief re- spite l suggested picking cotton for our Thanksgiving turkey. The boys again willingly acquiesced and we spent more working hours in the cotton field. The boys enjoyed their turkey and cranberry sauce much more on Thanksgiving day from the fact of their having earned the money that bought those articles.
 Mir. Wilson wanted some more cotton picked, so we concluded to spend the money for turkeys for Christmas. Those were kept alive as we were informed that our Christmas turkeys were to be donated by the ladies of East Lake, and we hope to raise our own turkeys for next Thanksgiving and Christmas.
 The cutlery we have bought is from the Rockford Silver Plate Company of Rock fora; H., and is very highly recommend ed by Superintendent Nutes of the Eldo- va Iowa Industrial School. and Superin- tendent Mallallen of the Kearney Ne krsska Industrial School. We received for picking cotton S35.SO. The expendi- fIlrpG was a fOI1OuS

Greenhouse.

Greenhouse.
 We have a good start made for greenhouse. Mrs. Griffin has a choice col lection of plants, and she has furnished the money for the construction of the house, which is 12 feet wide and 25 feet long. It has cost, so far, about $75. We hope to be able to sell plants and flowers enough to pay for the outlay.
 The boys have dug the excavations for a coal cellar, for the water pipes and sewer
 Our School.
 Our boys are doing excellent work in the school room and now that the num- Der has increased, we have arranged the details, so half of the boys are in school during the forenoon and half at work and in the afternoons those who were in the school during the forenoon take the places of those who were at work, in printing office, shoe shop, carpenter shop, kitchen, dining room. barn and farm MT. S. B. Lowrie, a teacher from Ohio and who gave up a much more lucrative position and joined our number for the good he hopes to do. is assisting us in the school room, and is making a suc- cess of his work.
 Sunday Services.
 Different pastors of Birmingham. East Lake and Woodlawn have been very kind to assist us in our Sunday services, and if for some reason a minister fails to keep his appointment, we have the reg ular service ourselves. with a Bible lesson and song service.
 Sickness.
 We have had very little sickness ja our family. The absence of tobacco soon shows itself in rapid growth and healthy appetites. Good plain, wholesome food regular hours for play, work and study, with plenty of sleep, soon makes a marked improvement in the appearance of our boys. We have been very fortu- nate in having the services of the very best doctors in the country free of charge. Dr. Killough, Dr. Torrance and Dr.

 Our farm was worn out before it passed into the hands of the State, but we have kept at it steadily, and our gardner, MT. Melton, succeeded in making the garden very helpful to Us. We tried to measure all the garden produce used, but were obliged to give 1t up, as there was so much to do we did not have the time.
 We received a choice collection from Washington through our Congressman, Mir Underwood, and also from Montgom- cry, from the State Agricultural Depart ment. All summer we were well supplied with onions, beets, tomatoes, radishes, cabbages, turnips, potatoes and other garden produce, and were fortunate in having a quantity to store away for win ter consumption. In the kitchen were canned about 160 quarts Of tomatoes and about the same number of quarts of plums and blackberries, and three bar rels of cucumbers put down in salt for pickles. We raised enough feed for our teams till the first of January. We have
