immediate future; this in the face Of the
fact that the funds are amply sufficient
to maintain and educate from 600 to 1000
girlsl
Thus the number OF full orphan girls
and the number Of fatherless girls dis.
coverable al the present time is quite
limited"
Mr.. Carson's college is for full or.
phans" OF the female species; Mr.. Ellis's
for fatherless girls. The former has spec.
ified that only those who are residents OF
Philadelphia and Bucks County be ell
gibe and the latter has made such re-
strictlons as to age and color as will
exclude many who otherwise could be
entered.
But long before Ellis College was en-
dowed with its s4.5oOooO and Carson with
its s3.50o000 Pennsylvania, the confer
ence discovered, was in the vanguard Of
model States in regard to the watchful
care 1t takes Of its dependent children.
The sociological experts also discovered
that were the "a or more institutions in
and around Philadelphia to be "raided'
for the kind Of orphans that Ellis and
Carson will require II the immense funds
with which they are endowed are to be
put to their full use. not more than 325
girls could be found
1t was suggested to the trustees OF
these institutions that the aid Of the
State be called upon in altering the lini
tations that the Philadelphia millionaires
placed upon their bequests so that the
many. many girls who are only half"
orphans, so called, or who are afflicted
with degenerate OF disabled parents may
profit by the wonderful benefits to be
derived from the colleges when they shall |
be completed.
In the meantime it's rather a matter for |
pride, is it not, this shortage of INDECENT |
orphans? MLISS.
