Upon arriving at Eureka the little ones

purpose, and then over the hills snd

Everything is supplied by the farm, the
first function upon arrival being thorough
scrubbing for each little one an1 arrayment
in the pinafores and overalls that the asso-
citation supplies. There is absolutely no ex-
children, and they are not compelled to
wear out anything except thei- shoes.
This they strive eagerly not to do by con-
tinualfy clamoring for permission to go
barefooted. Obedience becomes second M
ture to these little waits. who never be-
fore encountered an environment where
tote" water from the spring is a privi-
lege for which each and every one strives.

PLEASURES ARRANGED
BY DAILY PROGRAMME.
The care of 100 children or more OF the
age OF these little ones is not by any means
an easy problem. Under the n,atronage of
Mrs. Price Tiilery and the superintendency
OF G. a. Barringer. the farm is managed.
With each ten children there is an at

carried out with system that never flags
nor. is broken. Each of the staff of at
tendants has mis- or her duty to perform.
and the little ones are made happy beyond

THE FARM PRETTILY .ssS1E
ARRANGED FOR CHILDREN.
The farm is prettily situated for the pur-
pose for which it is used. From the So
ton the visitor is taken by a typical coun-
try wagon drawn by two mules across the
hills. Distance between the railroad sta
ton and the farm is an uncertain quantity
according to those who answered questions
on this point:
Bout mile and half" says Chris Das-
Cher the driver
II should say three miles" says Super
intendent Barrinser.
Il never really inquired" says Matron
Tillery
oh. it's right across the HILL" says one OF
the citizens of Eureka.
Nesting between two hills the houses of
the farm have the hest possible setting. A
row Of nine cottages. Il large pavilion that
serves as dininsroem. kitchen and assem-
bly, hall. together with the office. and small
cottages for attendants. surround the
campus.
Above the office a large bell hangs. and
