FEBRUARY NOTES FROM THE
THORNWELL ORPHANAGE.
During the past month five matrons
out of the eighteen employed at the Orphanage
had to take rest through sickness
or business. It was pleasant to see
how easily their places could be supplied
by former pupils of the home, and how
well thev succeeded in their nreru
A very interesting incident of the
month, and one that shows the deep love
that the alumni have for their alma mar
ter, is the proposition now being worked
out by the young men of the Alumni Association
to erect at Riverside, our summer
farm, a cottage for their own special
accommodation. They have raised
among themselves a subscription of not
less than $600 for the building of this cottage,
so as to afford the former pupils a
pleasant little summer resting place on
the banks of Enoree, to renew their
youth and memories and to bring them
into closer affiliation with the "Thornwell
College for Orphans." The building
will be the property of the home. A
number of the young men will use the
drill onntiiM/l J? ? ? -11 m *

School in erecting this building while I
resting this summer.
No sickness among the pupils in February.
But we are much indebted to
the Presbyterian Hospital and to the
Ladies' Auxiliary Society of Atlanta, who
have taken charge of one of our little
boys for an operation on his foot, in the
hope of putting it into a better sltupe,
and all without a dollar's cost to the institution.
The Thornwell Orphanage cannot
do without the Presbyterian Hospital
of Atlanta.
There are so many of our ex-pupils in
Atlanta that they have organized an Atlanta
Society.
Among the improvements of the
momn is tile beginning of work on a
large annex to the Technical building,
60 by 70 feet, for storage for lumber ana
for bench work in the carpentry department.
It is being built of concrete
blocks, which are made on the place. The
woodwork will be done by our boys.
Those "soulless corporations," the fertilizer
companies and cotton mills, are
furnishing us all the guano necessary
for our farm and all the unbleached cotton
goods needed for our children.
As fast as a vacancy occurs in our
ranks, two applications come in for it.
We do need another cottage for boys
shortly.
The 100th annivcrsnrv nf tho r\f
Cyrus H. McCormlck was observed at the
Orphanage.
Receipts for February were very light,
about equal to half expenses. We hope
for better things this month.
