NEARING THE CLOSE
Workers for SWartzeII Meth.
odist Home for Children
Have Goal in Sight.

With all prospects of reaching its
goal. the $4,000 campaign for a new
home for the Swartzell Methodist
Home for Children. will close tomor-
row night, and the architects plans
will be submitted to the board of
trustees within the next few days.
A meeting of the trustees, officers
and the campaign committee will be
held tomorrow night at the Metropoli
tan Methodist Episcopal Church, John
Marshall place, at which time the
campaign committee, DR.. Arthur {.
Christie, Miss Harriet d. Eldridge and
Mrs. B. T. Hynson, will announce the
amount received during the campaign.
The committee is confident that the
goal will be oversubscribed.
The new structure will be erected
on Second street between Rittenhouse
and Sheridan streets on a lot owned
by the home.
Plan One-Story Building.
The new home will be unusual. in
that it will be but one-story high.
Dormitories, bedrooms, attendants
rooms, offices, matron's suite, recep-
ton room and library will be located
on the main floor. On the Sheridan
street side, however, the building will
appear two stories high. as the base
ment will be entirely above ground,
due to the sloping site.
The basement will provide an en-
tertainment hall. dining hall and large
kitchen equipped with the latest facil-
tiles and cold storage. Baths for all
dormitorieS and numerous linen closets
also are provided.
The exterior will be of native stone
and is of colonial design. 1t is esti-
mated that the structure alone will
cost $4,000. Plans for furnishing the
home will be considered la?er.
Capacity of Structure.
The new home will accommodate
70 children instead of the present IS,
1t is planned. The home was organ
lied IA years ago and has since been
devoted to caring for orphan children
The facilities and accommodations
khave gradually grown insufficient
until a new building was deemed
necessary. The trustees planned the
campaign for January and feel as
Sured that the friends of the home
and the people of Washington who
have supported it in the past will
make the erection of the new building
o possible.
The home is non-sectarian, although
supported largely by organizations of
Inc MeLnOdISt Church. Several large
contributions have been received from
persons in other cities, one of which
was check for $4,000 from a New
York man.
Will Break Ground i'm Spring.
1t is planned to break ground for
the new building early this Spring,
with hopes of having the building
completed next October. The present
home is located at POI Rittenhouse
street.
DR.. Arthur c. Christie is president
OF the home. Mrs. Nellie M. L.
