winds helping to keep things lively. The

ira blankets or pull on their sweaters.
BY breakfast time, however, the fell
lows had thawed out and were on hand
at the dining hall. Sunday evenings

Mr.. Smith, in giving over the keys of
the building to the Good Will Home
Association, said: This building
stands on solid rock foundation and like
everything. else at Good Will will stand
for everything that will enrich the
chances of the boys at the Farm and
will send them away better fitted to
lead successful lives. The completion
of this building YIELDS together the
plans of Supervisor Hinckley and of
George II. Quincy; the one remains, the
other though gone, yet speaks to US.
/ Not only does this day mark the dedi-
cation of this manual training, but it is
as we'll the 50th anniversary of Mr..
Hinckley's birth. We all believe in Mr..
Hinckley and the grand work that he
is doing here. Truly Hampton has it's
| Armstrong. Mortified it's Moody, Tus-
keegee it's Booker Washington, Winona
has it's Chapman and Good Will it's
Hinckley.
Judge Nathaniel Hobbs, in the abb
sence of President Giddings of the Good
Will Home Association, received the
keys to the building and made a short
speech of acceptance in a pleasing
| manner.
DIR. J. Wilbur Chapman of New York
city, made the address of the morning.
J He said that the reason for so much
success at the Farm was apparent after
considering the Psalm on which Mr..
Hinckley has founded all of his wark.
He went on to compliment Good Will
| for the training that it gives, giving at
| tention to the development of head,
heart and hand, but not emphasizing
one to the neglect of the others. DR..
| Chapman's address was highly inerest-
| ing and much appreciated by the large
attendance.
After the address Judge Hobbs in a
| most charming manner, presented to
the Good Will Home Association in be-
half OF lady whose name was not
mentioned, an excellent portrait of Mr..
Einckley This will hang in the art
gallery in the Chas. f. Moody building.
