The home has had a comparatively
small endowment, which enabled tho
management to provide for sixty
three little ones. which IL the ca
pacity Of the building, but owing to
the increased cost OF living. the d.
rectors have found II necessary to
gradually reduce the number of in
mates to forty, which are all that can
be properly supported with the means
at hand.
Need More Money.
The directors feel the need OF per-
manent improvements to the build
ing. and also the necessity for moro
money for the expenses OF the main
tanning % the institution. and they
are sure that the endowment. X In
creased to $4,000. will enable them
to care for the fun quota OF little
ones, and also make the required i'm
provements to the building.
Not in twenty years has the asso-
cation called upon the people OF
Richmond for aid; the home has been
so fortunate as to be the beneficiary
of a number of requests which have
enabled II to care generously for the
inmates. but now the
management feels that, in view OF this
fact. the response should be prompt
and liberal.
