Encnurnging Forestry.

New York State has taken a prac-
tical way of encouraging forestry.
During the past planting season more
than 100000 seedlings were distrib-
uted at cost throughout the state for
planting. Where it is desired and Is
found feasible, the services Of fore
man are furnished to direct the plant
ing. the state bearing a share Of his
expenses. The seedlings were OF pine
and spruce and were supplied to 149
persons.

steel, and in a moment the box lay open
before his eyes He had flashed on the
electric light bulb in the vault and recos-
nized instantly Porter's inscription
Traction" on a brown bundle. He then
opened his own box and took out his
Traction certificate and carried 1t with
Porter's packet into the directors room.
He sat playing with the package, which
was sealed in green wax with the plain
oval insignium of the bank. The packet
was larger than he had expected it to be
he had no idea Of the amount of stock
it contained; and he knew nothing of
the bonds. He felt tempted to open 1t;
but clearly that was not within his in
structions. He must deliver 1t intact to
Tendon, and he would do it instantly.
He hesitated, though, and drew out the
certificate which Evelyn had given him
and turned the crisp paper over in his
hand. Each of them owned one hundred
shares Of Traction stock he was not
thinking Of this, but of Evelyn, whose
signature held his eye. 1t was an angu-
lar hand. and she ran her two names to-
gether with long sweep of the pen.
His thoughts were given new direc-
ton by the noise Of colloquy between
the watchman and some one at the door.
He heard his own name mentioned, and
thrusting the certificates into his pocket,
he went out to learn what was the mat
ter.

the Geary street side, leading directly
to a spacious reception hall. around
which are grouped parlors and fitting

When the darning and mending and
simple sewing are conquered. then
comes dress making and all the other
sewing of the asylum. Many of the
girls become proficient dress makers
and scamstresses. Outside of what
the children accomplish while being
taught. the sewing of the institution
is done by girls raised In 1T. This ar
rangement OF work is true of the
kitchen and the laundry In the latter
the girls handle the machinery as ex-
pertly as a lot of boys might be ex-
pected to do. The only thing elimi-
mated from the laundry as far as the
girls are concerned are the steam man

girls might injure their hands The

often puts frail girls in the laundry be-
cause the work, which is not laborious
by reason OF machinery, combined with
the running out into the drying yard,
soon makes them strong and rosy. The
hot air dryers are never used except in
winter. The girls over 16 who remain
in the asylum to work are paid wages,
commencing with s5. AS each one be-
comes more efficient her pay is in
creased until it reaches $40. The re-
suit is that a number have bank ac-
counts running into thousands OF dol
lars. When an opportunity presents
itself for the girls to earn more in out
side positions, they are entirely free to
leave. Their going makes room for
other girls growing up. Physical rea-

The Technical School

An ideal development of the life at
the Roman Catholic orphanage is the
st. Francis technical school. situated
in the heart of the city. at the corner
of Geary and Cough streets. This school
was opened as a dress making estab-
for the benefit of the children of the
orphanage from IA to Is years of age,
to enable them to become elf-support-
ing women. Preference is given in
this school to the most dependent
girls, those who have no relatives or
friends to take an interest in their
careers after their years at the or
phanage are over Delicate girls are
not sent there, as the sedentary indoor
life of the dress maker is not best for
them. Preparation for the technical
school is begun long before the girls
leave the orphanage. Those showing
promise are carefully trained by the
sisters in charge of the dress making
Sister Louise, now the efficient head
of the training school, says that there
is no hard and fast rule in regard to
open to girls from the outside. but
they must be deserving cases-orphans
or half orphans. Dress making is the
chief branch taught, but exquisite
needlework and sewing of all sorts are
done there. What the school means
in the community may be estimated by
the fact that it is self-supporting.
Before the calamity the school was

There is great enthusiasm about shop

girls to buy and sell, to keep count of

quite as much as anything else, 1t

routine of the days. The material part
of this pleasantly repeated experiences
will be appreciated later. At present

Time to Play

After school hours there is a play
time The children run to what they
call 'the meadow" which In truth is
a grove in which there are any number
of swings, or out In the open field, Just
the place for game OF tag or any of
the games that mean plenty of run
ming and screaming. After a good
play. sewing classes are called. Darn
ing comes first, and littlest ones of
all become most proficient in this
necessary work One big room In the
series of clothesrooms is devoted to the
stockings 1t Is worth while thinking
what the darning means for family

classes meet are practically all glass,

one upon which all the schoolrooms
open. While the darning and mending
and real sewing 10 going on. one
of the girls reads a story for each
group.
Alternating with sewing, come tho
cooking lessons Because nearly all
the cooking for the asylum Ia done by
steam. the opportunities for learning
this art in the general kitchen are
limited. so there are regular cooking
classes in well equipped rooms Every
six months the duties of the children
all over the Institution are changed,
ma king il possible for each one to be-
some familiar with every branch of
domestic work.

found q home in the asylum. This
number does not include the many
thousands that have been taken In to
the Mount st. Joseph infant orphanage
asylum. The Palace hotel property was
sold and the conversions laid for the
present building at Bay View street and
Nineteenth avenue in 1859.
Built as II was just after the earth
quake OF 1868, the present orphanage
was erected upon a foundation for the
construction of which the architect
had theory. Whatever virtue his
theory had this great building crowding
distant hill, went through the late
calamity with comparatively little dam
age. From afar the asylum looks ~ II

in the county. A visit brings a COM
plete sunrise. Verv near and to the
east and south stretches a great ex-
panse of San Francisco bay: to the west
are fertile valleys and attractive hills;
10 the north are miles of the city Years
ago this building was in what was
known as South San Francisco: now 1t

The last ray OF sunshine belongs to
Mount st. Joseph, the eminence upon
which the buildings stand Protecting
acres stretch in every direction. One
great field is given over to nine cows
which provide milk used by the chill
dren. Butter is bought and not made
at this institution, because the milk,
cream and all, belongs to the children.
They all look as If they were fed on
certified milk and other goodies, If
rosy cheeks are any criterion.
Day begins early at the asylum. The
10 sisters in charge of the 400 children
are up at o'clock, with an occasional
long" sleep until 5 O'Clock. Fortu-
nately the memorable April morning of
1905 was one of the o'clock mornings,
so when the trouble came there was
some one in each dormitory to hover
over the frightened girls who do not
get up until daylight is well estab-
lished
There is always a busy hour for
washing and dressing. After breakfast
of mush, fruit bread. butter, tea and
coffee mostly milk. the girls all return
TO the assembly room for inspection.
That's when the scrutiny of the sister
in charge tells whether the washrags
and toothbrushes and towels, all care
fully marked. have been used to ad-

years. are employed in the laundry, the
kitchen, the clothesroom and the in
firmary. so the children never lose
day at school. The greatest stress fs
laid upon thorough education in the
fundamentals. The children are given
a grammar school education, the cur
riculum of the public schools being
used, with the addition of Catholic
reader and catechism. The pupils re-
ceive their monthly reports and, one
way or another. according to averages
in department and scholarship are
awarded privileges. An evening class
is kept for the most intelligent of the
working girls.
