The annual meeting of the board of
management and the town committees
of the Tolland county temporary home
was held at the home at Vernon Cen
ter last Thursday. There was a large
attendance. The business meeting
was held at IL O'Clock, with Colonel
Amos Pease, chairman Of the county
commissioners, presiding The other
members of the board, J. 81. Buell.
of Hebron and John Thompson of Ell
lington, were also present. Mrs. G..
G. Tillinghast, the secretary, made
the annual report, saying that there
were in the home when the year end
ed in July, 1908, AZ children, while
last July there were 80. There were
now 35 home children divided among
eleven of the thirteen towns of the
county, of which Andover has 2, Co.
lumbia 3, North Coventry 1, South
Coventry 2, Ellington 2, Hebron 8,
Mansfield 4, Stafford 2, Tolland 3,
Wilmington 3, Union 1, Rockville 5
and Vernon 2. She said that all
were in good homes and were being
we'll cared for. She suggested that it
might be advisable to establish a
summer school at the home, as there
are so many idle weeks during the
summer that might be utilized in i'm
proving the education of the children.
As some of the inmates have little ed
ucational advantages after leaving
the home, Mrs. Tillinghast and some
of the others thought it best to make
use of every opportunity. The pres
emit teacher is Miss Saunders of Man
chester. In closing her report Mrs.
Tillinghast spoke in feeling terms of
the great loss sustained in the death
OF Mrs. Talbot, shortly after the last
annual meeting. They all felt that
she was peculiarly fitted for the
place and all missed. her greatly.

and in each case the report was most
