Withstood Disaster Well

Built in the days when honest mortar
was used to bind honest bricks, the old
home stood the earthquake remarkably
well, out there were not many yards of
plaster left on the walls. Stories of
that time of calamity are getting to
be taboo. but there is deep human
interest in what happened in such a
place as the home. The following ex-
tract from a report by the matron, Miss
M. McGladdery, who for 3S years
mothered the family at the home gives
picture of the children when the.
trouble came:
Nearly all were quietly asleep when
they were awakened by the falling OF
plaster and the swaying of the build
Ing. l went out into the hall, fearing
a panic among the children. The night
nurse was the only one In Mysteries.
But people of strong nerves have been
known to give way under terrifying
circumstances. The swaying of the
building was SO awful it seemed as IL
at any moment we might.be entombed.
Strange to say, all the older children
were calm and remained In bed, cover
Ing their heads with their blankets One
boy, however, ran out into the yard /
asked him how he happened to escape.
He said: When the first brick fell I

well. The tanks had broken loose and
the water drenched them. They stood

their arms, calling loudly for Miss Ar

lett. She was there in an instant and
their fears were soon allayed.
Earthquakes and fires do not pre-
vent children from being hungry. Some
thing to eat had to be furnished. For

All of which shows. that dependent

There must be some compensation III

This Family" Changes
There is no institutional family in
this city which changes as often as does
that of the Ladies' Protection and Re-
lief society, and for two reasons-frst,
because there is so much temporary re-
lief given; and, second, because the
managers of this home are committed,
both in theory and practice, to home
finding as conducted by the children
agency of the Associated Charities.
This home has made 1t possible Tor
many a stricken mother to keep her
children together by being assisted IN
heir care through time OF stress. me
natron contends that some of the very
best work done IN the institution is the
temporary assistance given deserving
mothers. By taking care or children
for a few weeks or a few months these
mothers have had an opportunity to re-
adjust their lives. An equally far reach-
ing good comes with tha care OK ohli-

In 1905 the total annual income was
$42,144.7o. In 1906 it jumped by reason
Of the advantageous renting of the
property to s57 ,251.50. In 1907 the total
receipts amounted to 1854 The fall
ing of commenced In 1908 by reason Of
the change In the business center,
as shown by the total receipts of
SIS, 274.67. The income will be still less
from now on and before long will come
a readjustment of the properties.
An effort was made after the calamity
and before necessary repairs were made
TO secure a desirable but less valuable
site within the county. but without
success. SO the children of the home
who were in Alameda were returned to
the old place The value of the prop
erty suggests the sale of It, but on the
other hand the convenience of the
place for emergency work and for
parents to visit the children bring a
well defined hesitation about disposing
of it. When Horace Halves gave the
land to the society it was with the con-
dition that 1T should not be disposed of
for Is years. He held that an institu-
ton which had survived that length of
time might well be regarded as per-
manent and any sale of the property
could only be for its good. When the
question has been raised as to a change
of location the managers think of some
OF the struggling fathers who pay
something toward the care of their
children and who after working all day
come to the home and tiptoe through
the dormftory that they may looA at
their little ones asleep.

these children were coming into their
individual homes instead OF into an in
stftution they could not appear less
happy or less afraid. They smile at
the matron as they pass in and talk
merrily as they go. showing how easy
the discipline of the home rests upon
them. They are governed with
scarcely a realization Of the fact.
Sewing and Sloyd Work
In the hours after school there IS
always plenty OF play. but there are
hours for sewing and mendfng and
cooking for the girls, with slOyd
for the boys. A hourishing vegetable
garden is a matter Of great concern to
the children, but not of more interest
than the bars and trapezes and ring
swings which they enjoy through the
generosity Of Raphael Well. He gave
$500 to be invested for some comfort or
pleasure for the children. and from the
genuine fun it has brought them. surely
no wiser investment could lave been
made.
Miss McG1addery's SO years as ma
tron were concluded last year. She now
lives peacefully in retirement and her
pleasure is found in doing something
for deserving children OF the home. A
weekend at Miss McGladdery's home"
across the bay Is one of the very best
things that can come to any child in
the home. Miss McGladdery's place is
being splendidly filled by Miss Edith
Wallbridge. recently from the east, who
has had many years experience in Just
such work. She is cheerful and brisk
and has gained the absolute confidence
of the children.
To her nothing IS more tragic IN the
life OF child than the absence OF the
pleasures and the experiences that are
additionally theirs, and she tries TO see
to IL that there are no little broken
hearts in that home.
Last summer Miss Elizabeth Ashe
took large groups OF the homo children
to Hill farm that delightful country
