Iroferto that portion whore he mnkes tho unqualified asgortion that the law concorn- ing tho dismiseal of children from the institu- tlon hias boon disregarded. He eava: * Therois ono point in tho manage- mont of the ‘Soldiors' Orphans' Home' roquires notico wo think, namely : the large numbor of inmates of both soxes, but especially girls, above tho logal age at which tho law dirocts thoir discharge. Wo boliove that if the lnwis right, it should be moro rigidly enforced than it now ig, and, if wrong, it should bo amonded. It is not obeyod.” Now, Mr. Wines has had repeated opportuni- tios (and has improved thom, too) of examiniug all books, papers, and records belonging to the institution ; and ho has cortainly nover found anything in all of our transactions to warrant any such statement. It is vory true that wo have twolve girls in the Home over tho ago of 10. Ten of thoso havo boen rogularly and logally discharged, the ro- mainder having attained that age sinco the last meoting of tho Board of Trustecs. Thoso dis- charged havo beon omployed s servants,—taken tho places and performed tho labor of poid em- ployos,— IN ACCONDANCE WITIL A RESOLUTION unanimously adopted by the Board, authorizing mo to retain such children, from among thoso dinchargod, as I thought would be of service to the Homo, and would bo bouefited themsolves by remaining. The following is a copy of tho resolution : Resolved, Thatthe Buperintendent be, and ia beroby, autliorized to rotain at (ko Hono, from among the children discharged therofrom by reason of expiration of time us provided for Ly law, all Auch ss she may conaider necessary for the performanco of labor about the {nstitution : Provided that no compensation for sich servicea shall bo given, other than board, clothe ing, snd tuition, This power bas in no instance boen tranacond- od or abused by mo; neithor have the Trustees ovnded or transgrossod the law in any partious lar by passing such o resolution, Tho law in regard to this matter I8 very ex- plicit and casy to bo understood. Wo have TUE UNDOUDTED BIGHT to employ in this Home whoever, in our judg- mont, will best suswer the purpose; and' it not strauge, with our present feolings of ox- trome solicitudo for tho fucuro wolfare of theso littlo girls, that, eoverytbing being oqual, wo ehould give the prefaronce over strangors to the oney who have. grown up undor onr own caro and_instruction, and who cortainly, from this very fact, make our most compotout and reliable ausistants, Then, too, as a matter of economy, —of sotual savivg_ in dollara and cents,—this lan is most assuredly proving a success, au can Ee readily shown by & comparison of the pay- rolls at tho prosent tims with thoso of a year or two yoors ago. These girls racoivo only the paltry remuncra- tion of food and sholter for their services,—tho mothers, in almost overy case, furnisbing the clothing, Six of the girls spokon of are ATTENDING THE NORMAL UNIVEHSITY, and are making praiseworthy progross in their studies. “Thoy will soon Lo sufliclontly far ad- vancod to teach, and thus malke for themselves honorable and indopendent livings, and ropay to tho Stute iu futuro usofuluoss what sho has ex- pended iu their education, Whoroas, had wo turned them from our doors ilko moment thoy artived ab o cortain age, in ignorauce, tho lives of many would doubtless have been those of povorty and prostitution.
