1t is time the work of the Kurn Hattin
Homes was better known in Vermont.
They were incorporated under the laws
of this state in 1894, and will celebrate
their eleventh anniversary next month.
Their object is to provide a farm home,
with a common school education, for
orphaned, homeless and distitute boys.
The property consists of the admins
tration building at Westminster, with a
fine farm of LOG acres, and accommo-
dation for 35 boys; and the Warner
Memorial Home at Saxton's River, with
$50 acres and Is boys. The entire prop
erty is freefrom debt.
The boys are taught to work in the
house and on the farm, and thorough
ness is the maxim through it all. Every
boy has some daily duty, from the one
who has entire charge of making the
bread, about 100 loaves weekly to the
little fellows that pick up any litter in
the yard and around the building, before
they are allowed to play.
There is no better place to raise boys
than on a farm. and while the manage
ment do not expect all the boys to be-
come farmers. they believe their present
life will not unfit them for any trade or
profession they may afterwards follow.
They are developing their farms as fast
as they are able, and are now raising
toward their W support all the neces-
sary milk. butter, eggs, poultry, potatoes,
beans, and other vegetables in their
season, also several months supply Of
beef and pork through the winter. In
the past six months. the cash receipts
from the farm, for products above and
beyond what were needed in the home,
amounted to over 5000, more than
twice the grain bill. The expense per
capita for provisions they have to buy
averages 53 cents weekly. The health of
the boys is marvellous, the expense for
doctor for the "a boys at Westminster in
1904 being only $500.
Those in charge of the work believe
that a happy childhood is absolutely
necessary to a well developed manhood,

therefore they take a warm interest in
all that concerns their boys, their games,
gardens, foreign postage stamps, etc.
They provide a home for the boys in
every sense of the word. Now as to
their claim on Vermont. More than half
the boys o in the homes are from this
state and the. Connecticut valley, and of
the forty-two applications for admission
since January first 1905, eighteen were
from Vermont. There is room only for
a small proportion Of those who apply.
This grieves the management exceedingly
and they hope the time will come when
the Homes hal be so well supported
that there will be room for all worthy
cases thatiknock at their doors. Here is
a sample ofiletters received by Superin-
tendent Bishop, seeking admission for
boys evidently as worthy as any of those
he is caring for. This is from a doctor
living in one of the manufacturing towns
on the Connecticut River.
1.-THE case in the interests of which l
am writing is probably no more urgent
than many which apply to you, and its
deserts can, of course, have no hearing
on the chance of admission when the
Home is full; yet it is one that appeals to
me very strongly. The father died
rather suddenly some two years ago
leaving four children between the ages
of one and eight; the mother has sup
ported herself and them by working in
one of u mills till this spring when she
began to show signs of pulmonary tuber-
culosis. If her children can be pro-
perly provided for. l could get her into a
Sanitorium with fair prospect of COM
plete recovery. The two older boys,
whom l hoped to place with you, are
bright, manly little fellows, well brought
up and are the kind worth saving"
Vermont has not been hearing her
proportion of expense, and has left the
Trustees to collect elsewhere the annual
shortage. This is not from lack of will
ingness to help on this necessary work,
but rather from want of information.
The Homes are undenominational and
are managed by a board of nine trustees,
six of whom are from this state. They
are as follows: President, Hon w. j.
Van Patten of Burlington; treasurer, E.

Peonle who witnessed the wrecking OF

saw that il was a thrilling spectacle, and
the fact that no one was killed anu but
three persons injured, and they slightly,
Is regarded as marvellous. The tram
was running at from 60 to 70 miles an
hour. being about an hour behind time,
when without warning the cars began
10 leave the track. Ties, rails and bal
last blew in every direction, and the
train bullying toward the north, demol'
shed the south bound track. The tram
ran about two hundred yards before II
came to a standstill. The engine and
observation car remained on the track,
but the other portion Of the train formed
a semi.circle of overturned aud demol-
ished cars. Both tracks were virtually
demolished. A number Of people from
this CITY visited the scene yesterday
There are several theories urged in ex-
nlanatiou of the accident. Some believe
il was due to the dropping of brake
and others to a broken wheel, while
Others are satisfied a defect In the track
evas the cause of the disaster.
