my surprise he revealed the fact that
the Kelley Institute is not an ASYLUM
with cast-iron laws and all that kind

all OF the patients must comply with
the same, but on the whole the Kelley
Institute here in Greensboro liz n fine
home, with all of the comforts and
privileges of home. The rules and
regulations only go to make n perfect
system for the general good. There
are hours for treatment hours for
tonic giving, hours for baths hours
Tor enjoyment in the electric bath
rooms, hours for lounginE and reading
IN the club and library rooms and
hours for meals and for sleep. There

century ago. and it's establishment at
thai time WAS due 10 Christian philan-
thropy, rather than to a commercial
proposition. At that time but few peo-
pie had any faith in the alleged discoy-
cry of the man Kelley, but there we're
some philanthropists who had some
money who said IL there Is anything in
II. North Carolina ought 10 have it,
