THE HOFFMAN ORPHANAGE.
A Course i'm Scientific Farming VIII
Be Established at the Home.

Those from this city who attended
the third anniversary OF the Holman
Orphanage recently held were i'm
pressed with the number OF improve
ments since last year.
The farm consists of two hundred
acres with a full set of tenant build
in-s while the former residence OF
Mr.. Hoffman still stands ready for
use when needed. Since taking over
the farm the board of managers has
erected two fine structures, one the
administration building and the other
the first of a system Of cottages. Dur
ing the past year complete electric
lighting plant has been installed,
walks laid and the ground graded. AT
the anniversary year ago a dept OF
$500 was reported as result or the
erection of buildings and the pur-
chase of stock. This year, the treas
urer, DR.. C. S. Slagle, Of Westminster,
reported that $4,000 had been paid on
the debt.
A fine fruit orchard of apple, peach,
pear and plum trees was donated
during the past year by George A
Wagner, of Landisburg, Perry county,
and is in promising shape, together
with the balance of the farm.
Rev. J. Stewart Hartman l. the
superintendent of the home and work
there is under his direction.
There are at present % happy
children in the home.
Under the conditions of the bequest
it is necessary for the Orphanage to
be of an industrial nature and the
members of the board of managers
are now looking forward to establish
ing a course in scientific farming,
with the necessary laboratories and
other equipment The girls are also
to be given instruction in some prac-
teal work and as the home grows in
years and in size it is expected to de-
Velop into highly useful institution.
1t Is entirely under the control OF the
Synod of the Potomac of the Re
formed church.
An appropriation Of $4,000 asked for
the Home from the State of Penn
syIvania, was vetoed by Governor
Tener
