&c. This institution has been run
ming successfully for 10 years and
during which time II has enrolled
1000 children. the greater number
OF them placed In Christian homes OF
both white and colored families. We
have placed number OF cooks and
house girls into some OF the best
white families In the state. They
have made a splendid reputation SO
FAR as we have been able TO learn.
We have never had boy or girl
tried Ia the Courts for theft or any
! misdemeanor. We have never had
one to 10 10 the penitentiary Out
OF the number Just above mentioned,
we have married of % girls and Is
boys and they are all making good
citizens, many of them own their
own homes, others OF them are pur-
chasing their homes. others are work
ing for wages and doing well None
Of them are loafing or Begging
Therefore. we take the position that
the Dickson Colored OrDhanage Is
doing a great work In solving the
race problem by training these Me-
gro boys and girls how to work
systematically. 1t Is not the ques-
ton OF our girls hat go into homes
OF white families as TO how much
wages they will receive. The great
question with them Is how much
good they can accomplish and whteh-
or they can give satisfaction before
they are willing to consider the
question OF wages. They believe that
people who want good frst-class
help are willing TO pay the price
II they can do the work, do II right,
do It systematically.
The Dickson Colored 0rphanage
Is attempting to train boys and girls
along all lines OF industry, farming,
truck gardening, cooking, housekeep-
ing, domestic art and domestic scie-
once In order TO flt them for the
places that are In demand. Two
thirds OF all the Negroes OF this
country will always have to serve
some cne Since this is true. II Is
very necessary that each one will
prepare himself 10 give good service,
