 New Haven May 23, 1902. The managers report, submitted by | Ella c, Bradley in behalf of the board of | managers, was very interesting, show | .- ,l. f>,, the year ending May 15, 1902, A sum | mary of 1t follows: The numerical statistics are the fol- | lowing: Number of children aided dur ing the year, 176; average number, 132: | new admissions, 46; returned to friends, | 40; placed at service, &; given up for | adoption. g. present number under asy- lum care 125.
 The Nina Lynette nursery has cared | for twenty-tWo ba bes during the year. | Of this number eight have been sent to friends two have been promoted to the ! house nursery and one given in adop- l tion,
 An unusual as well as remarkable feature of the years record is the fact | that no deaths have occurred either among the children, the employees, the managers or the trustees
 The health record among the children has been above the average The Ives cottage has not been opened for con tagious diseases during the current year thus indicating their entire ab- sence within the asylum. while outside they have been epidemic to an unusual extent. Such condition of general l health cannot but reflect favoraby up- on the thoroughness and thoughtfuIness of those having the children in imme- diate charge.
 One of the most important and a real Iy difficult branch of our general ad- is the finding of suitable homes for our children. When they go from under our roof they do not pass beyond our care Forty visits have been made to these, homes during the year, besides other visits on few children who are boarded out for special ail- Much pleasure is thus derived both by visitor and children and we take a deep interest in watching their and development.
 It may seem fitting that attention should be called to the recent more rig | i'd enforcement of one of the rules of la in stitutipY1 Ur11ipb fbrhids to s,,p- l
