Hjever, there is a great deal in doing as others do and they soon accept the routine without question. Miss Murphy still presides over the baby department with untiring devotion. It is interesting to watch the progress of these babies. It is a rare case that does not respond to her ministrations, under the direction of Dr. Johnson.

The second nursery children are nearly all boarders. There are several who have been transferred from the baby room and have never known any other home. While much is done now to instruct and help mothers who, through ignorance or poverty, or both, have failed to give their children proper care, there are still cases that beggar description. We have, even in this enlightened age. children who come to the Home with no knowledge of the use of a spoon.

When discovered, their clothing consisted partly of newspapers. The sad part of all this is that these children may eventually be returned to their mother, although they will, we hope, never be allowed to drop back to the level in which they formerly lived. Of course even an "undesirable parent may love his or her children and there is a large question as to whether, or not, it is right to separate them permanently. On the other hand, it is perfectly natural that, when a child has reached a certain age, he wishes to know about his own family. It is hard to decide what is fair to all concerned.

Our groups of older boys and girls present an entirely different problem from that of the younger children. Their interests aTe broader and they are more sensitive regarding the fact that they are in an institution. However, on the whole, they are normal, happy children. They have household tasks to perform and school work to do during the winter months and time never hangs heavily on their hands. In summer, much of their time is spent out of doors.

New swings and teeter boards have been added to their playgrounds and the girls have a new table with benches out on the lawn that has given them a great deal of enjoyment. There are, at present, no girls old enough to go up town to school, but two boys from the cottage are going to Junior High and are making good progress. Our great achievement this past year is the improvement we have made in the Home property. The barn has been entirely made over inside and we now have a splendidly equipped modern building. This work, which took most of the summer to complete, was in charge of F.

B. Howe, to whom we feel greatly in- debted. We also appreciate the interest and help of the trustees in this matter. In addition to the work done on the barn, a fine new henhouse has been built. This is modern in every respect and will enable us to keep about 300 hens.

We were fortunate in having a large quantity of paint given us by an interested party and Mr. Wilson has managed to give the wooden buildings a coat of paint. Another big thing we have accomplished this year is changing our water system. We have dispensed with the old fashioned water tanks in the two main buildings and have had the city water brought in for general use, as well as for drinking purposes. The hydrant has been moved to a more favorable location and we now feel that our fire protection csnnot be questioned.

These changes have been expensive to make, but we feel that the money has been well spent. The front lawn, which was utilized for raising vegetables as a war time measure and later became a hay field, has been ploughed up with the idea of seeding it down and making it a lawn again. This will add much to the beauty of the place and was due largely to the efforts of Mr. and Mrs. Burns.

The garden, in spite of the backwardness cf the season, was a great success, thanks to Mr. Wilson and his helpers, and a great many cans of vegetables are in the cellar waiting to be used during the winter. Many individuals and organizations have contributed to the happiness of the children from time to time during the year. Time and space prevents mentioning each cf these but we are most grateful to all who have contributed in any way and appreciate the interest that prompted them to do so. We regret that we have been obliged to accept the resignation of our efficient matron, Mrs.

Bostwick. The board appreciates very much her long and faithful service. The position is being filled at present by Mrs. S. R.

Hislop. Thirty-eight children have been admitted to the Home during the year. We have placed nine for adoption and nineteen have been taken by friends or relatives, while one infant who was physically defective at birth, passed away. Respectfully submitted. ANNIE L.

The president, Mrs.

J. E. Taggart, submitted the following report for the year: The sixty-fourth year of the existence of the Home has been an event-lul one.
