"GREENEVILLE Anniversary of Father Mathew Ob- served by Temperance Society with Whist and Dance—Harvest Supper Given by Ladies’ Aid Society—Enu- meration of School Children. The apniversary of the birth of Fa- ther Mathew WHEE pleasingly observed ‘Wednesday evening by the Father Ma.- thew Total Abstinence society, with a whist and dance, about a hundred of the members and their lady -friends being present to enjoy the festivities. The evening was begun at 8 o'clock with whist, of which 20 tables were playad, the awards being: First lady's Katherine Leonard, pock- second, Miss Mary Downing, brooch pin; cousolation, Miss Nora Brennan; first man's prize, Patrick Downing, cuff links; second, Philias Gladue, necktie; consolation, Felix McMahon. Rev. James J. Smith, with Rev. W. A. Keefe, visited the rooms during the evening, and was called upon for re- marks. In addressing the members of the soclety, Father Smith congratu- Jated them upon their observance of the day, saying that each year it was made more pleasant. Kach year you have shown by your work the appre- ciation of the cause, The temperance cause will never cease to exist and the work will only be accomplished by men who _practice temperange themselves and set the right exam- ple. No other method will succeed. Be temperate in all things and be zeal- ous to spread the doctrine among others. Teach the youth of the par- ish the great need of temperance. To- day temperance is necessary in every vocation. After refreshments of cake and ice cream were served, the evening was rounded out,with dancing, Malone's orchestra furhishing music. The success. of the evening was largely due to the work of President Joseph A, Bellefleur, and the enter- tainment committee, which comprises Cornelius J. Downes, chairman, Joseph O'Sullivan, Simon J. Fahey, Patrick JF. Shea, M. J. Carroll and Philias Gladue, who are now making arrange- ments for another dance in January. HARVEST SUPPER.

A harvest supper that was most en- oyable and will result in a handsome addition to thelr treasury was given Wednesday evening between the hours of ¢ and 8 by the Ladles' Ald soclety of the Greeneville Congregational church in the church basement, which was decorated for the occasion. The tables were arranged attractively about the room-and all the patrons who partook of the fine supper com- mended the Work of the committee in charge, Mrs, Willlam Kramer, chair- man, Mrs. John McDougall, Sr, Mrs. ‘Willlam Brown, Mrs, Paul Zahm and Mrs. Louis O.

Casey of | Prospect - street, when their twin | daughters, Misses Katherine and Sadie | Casey, celebrated their 11th birthdays. Their playmates and friends gathered to help them enjoy the occasion, and in all there was a merry party of 22 young people, Games of many kinds were played and there was music. | Many tokens of regard were recelved by the charming hostesses. A feature of the evening was the twin birthday cakes, each illuminated with the proper number of candles. It was a happy time for all. 983 8chool Children Greenevi The enumeration of school children in the Greeneville school district, just completed by Cornelius J.

Chadwick, the visitors in the various towns of New London coun- ty, and other friends of the institu- tion interested in its children to the number of about 80 gathered at the New_ London county temporary home in East Norwich Wednesday morn- ing for the annual meeting of the board of management and the com: mittee of .vigitors. The spotless ap- pearance of the home, the happy faces of the children, and the glowing re- ports from Mrs. Frank A. Mitchell, the secretary, and the other members of the committee of visitors, reflected the general success of the year's work throughout the county, and made man- ifest the growing usefulness of the home and its work. County Commissioner Willlams of Mystic opefied the meeting at 11.30 o'clock and prayer was offered by City Missionary Rev. C. A. North- rop. Introducing the secretary, Mrs. Mitchell, Mr. Willlams defined the meaning of temporary, the idea be- ing that'children are kept at the home no longer than good homes can be found for them, Good familles are mnot as easily found as might be, and therefore there are about ninety chil- dren in the home the year around. Report of Secretaey. Mitchell's nstaking and thorough report follow: Very few important or conspicuous changes have been made in and about this building since the last annual meeting. Fresh paint outside and in, @ small room finished off in the attic are the most noticeable features, but there has also been much repairing which makes good the constant de- terioration in materials, and the wea and tear of the large family. An addi- tional plece of ground has been pur- chased which will add -materially to the playground More Room Needed. The number of double decked beds resorted to in one of the dormitories is a very patent indication of the over crawded conditions existing there,while the fact that eight or ten little ones are taught kindergarten methods by an catra teacher in the regular play room seems to point to the conclusion that this building has at least reached its 1im}¥ of usefulness. Your board of management is keen— 1y alive to the danger by fire, and Chiet Stanton of the fire department in con- sultation with some of its members has moved the fire alarm box to & pola a short distance from the house, that the wires might not be involved should the building catch fire. One boy who had been in the home but a short time causeq great alarm by a well planned attempt to set fire to the house. The boy scemied too great & menace to the welfare and safety of this helpless household and he was sent to the St. John's school for boys. Homes Preferable to lnstitutions. ‘The welfare of the dependent chil- dren of Nuw London county is so near to the heart of its citizens that there is no doubt that proper provision will be made for them, and that at no dis- tant day, but the problem arisesin the minds of many interested as to the best way to meet the situation. The general trend of opinien among Stu- dents on the subject is against instls tutional life for children as most un- natural, and in favor of family homes. 1t is evident that a sufficient number of desirable homes for smdll children, without board, are either not open or not reacked in this state, neither are there any great number avallable at the price now allowed the County home children, & sum smaller than that al- lowed for any. othrr class of state wards. If these children are to be boarded out in family homes, provision mu3t be made for adequate and intel- ligent supervision, or this system might give rise to worse conditions than those now existing in the well kept county homes of the state. In_spite of undesirable conditions, the health of the children has been g00d, there having been no illnesses of serious nature or lasting 11l effect. Teachers, Matron and Assistants. It is a renewed cause for congratula- tion that Miss Leach still continues her painstaking, intelligent service. Four different grades in one room call for diversified talent and real labor, which she gives without stint, Miss Thresher brings zeal and ap- plication to her work and gives much attention to training the children for the cantatas and musical selections with which they so creditably enter- tain their friends, and quite incident- ally give g'large amount of pleasure to themselves. Much credit is due Mrs. Graves and her sssistants, all earnest, devoted women, for the degree of happines as well as health, that has been evi- dent in the home ‘throughout the year. Some of the capable assistants have been obliged, through 11l health, to give up the work, but almost uniformly each has been willing to return or at least to_assist in some special service, Perhaps most children have fewer red-letter days during a vear than are enjoyed by those in this home. Children Entertained. Thanksglving is & day of fedsting and good cheer, but Christmas is the ay of all days so bountifuily supplied that its pelasures fill all the week un- til New Year's day. Mr. Osgood needs no reminder that the season is ap- proaching, but year by vear, whether at home or elsewhere, sends the mes- esge, “Call on me for the children's “hriv'mas.” Mr. Semple always sends a large box of oranges in the same quiet way, so that nothing is lacking which is not provided by the com- missioners. The chiidren attended during the summer the picnic of the Baptist church, as will as one planned by the matron. All the larger ones viewed the procession of the 250th annievrsary celebration from the lawn of W. R. Burnham, end the whole number were given a car ride with refreshments by the commissioners. Mr. S. B. Case sent forty volumes of boys' Dooks, the Arcanum club sent many magazines and pictorial papers, while the Loyal Temperance Legion gave a May basket filled with candy to each child. Several times during the summer the larger boys went berrving, bringing home large pails of berries for the use of the famlly, and on the last day of July Mr. A. D, Zabriskie entertain- ed the whole family of children and si assistants near his home in Preston. Mr. Zabriskie sent carriages and wag- ons to convey the party to their des- tination, and after giving them the pleasures that are only’ possible on a large farm, and an abundant dinner, returned them all before 6 o'clock to the home. There were some. express- fons of thanks given when all were quietly gathered at the evening meal that such a day had come and gone without the slightest accident. “Ome could but feel proud that day 8f the behavior of the children, and rejoice that thers was neither tear nor frown te maur the petfect day. n dealing with boys and girls during the period of adolescence much -diffi- culty s experienced in protecting them, not only from those whe would Jead them into wrong doing, but from their own impulses, and uncontrolled desires.

The reports of thé committee of vi itors were then heard with interest, fourteen of the twenty-three visitors giving their experiences in person. Mrs. Mitchell told first of a colored girl In Brooklyn,/who'is fast develop- ing into & jewel Mrs. Willlam F. Clark ot Old Lyme wrote .that one little girl she visited was very happy, and talks much more clearly than she did. There were no complaints of the” boy. ~ Mrs. . Haughton of Bozrah sald that one girl had gone to work in the mill at Bozrahville, and that one boy, becoming of age, had struck out for himself. In Col chester Miss Abby G. Willard writes that one girl who had a,temper is correcting it and that she finds one boy very helpful to the farmer he is with. " Another is going to church and Sunday school and is growing very strong. Of the two children in East Lyme Mrs.'G. K. Luce reported that one is doing very well and that the family the other girl is with think 50 much of her.that they may adopt her. There are no children in East Norwich this year, was the report of Mrs. Austin Chapman. Miss Ella 1. Smith of Franklin says the, three:chil- dren there are happy and contended: In Groton Miss A. M. Clark finds the Lebanon, Noy wrote and Miss Hattle E. . Hewitt spoke. - They had good words for the boys In their town. One man says his boy is beautiful, and he couldn’t get along without him. Mr. Babcock, who for many years was a visitor in Lebanon, was present, according to his annual custom, Wants to Go South. A letter from Thomas P. Norman of Ledyard stated that he visited a boy who had a great ambition to work in a livery stable. A colored girl down there is anxious to go south. One boy returned to the home because he was not sent to school. Anoth- er became a companion to a Meriden girl, and is mow with a refative of thig girl in New Haven. She is at- tending high school, taking the aca- demfe course. She goes to school in the affernoon and works in the morn+ ing. The girl writes that she studies ancient history for a change. Mrs. A. P. Mitchell reported for Montville and | G. E_Tinker for New London.. One boy in the latter place s particularly steady and Industrious, earning his clothes and gives his grandmother the rest of his wages. Mrs. Frank Haw- king of New London said that one girl was in a box factory, another a nurse girl; two go to school. One North Stonington boy is much interested in farming, said Mrs. J. D. Avery. Norwich Children. Mrs. R. 'W. Perkins made an inter- esting report of the children in Nor- wich. Three are with their mother, one boy is developing epilepsy, but he may outgrow it, as he s but 15. Two girls have taken up millinery and dressmaking and will soon move to Wallingford with their_father, A brother has returned from the navy o help them. A colored girl who is with a Laurel Hill family is very trust- worthy. One girl is with an Academy teacher. The others, over a. dozen of them, are all well placed and are hap- | py. Onme family calls their child a | sweet, lovely boy. Mrs. Perkins said that quite often boys on a farm, as in | the casa of one formerly on the Scot- | land rodd, fancy they are going to do great things when they get out into the world. But they come back to visit one Sunday, and then every Sun- day, and they ' realize their former comfortable home. | Mrs. G. A. Haskell of Jewett City had a most interesting report to make. One girl has every advantage in her | home—goes to school and was the only girl who didn’t get a red mark. Her high stand in branches was remark- able. Another girl, 18 years old, passw | ed the Norwich Free Academy entrance | papers and didn’t miss a question. She is a bright, ambitious girl, and is try- ing very hard to get a place n Nor- wich where she may make her home while she attends the Academy. Prin- fpal Tirrell will give her books and tuition. The three girls are all doing well and their brother is industrious. Mrs. Ogden Stanton of Preston, G. | F. Allyn of Salem, Mrs. N. B. Trum- bull and Méss Nancy Cheseborough of Stonington wrote interestingly. From Canterbury Mrs. Hetrick writes of a boy who is thinking of uniting ! with the church. Last summer he wanted to help for the Sunday school plenic, and he sent all the money he could afford—one cent. Mrs, Owen C. ‘Williams of Waterford had another in— teresting report. One hoy went to New London with a wagon on an arrand, and incidentally took e load of pas- | sengers out to Gclden Spur. The mon- | ey he thus earned he kept silent about. He is a good mechanit and will make his way. Another boy left last sum- mer and a postal card has just been received trom him from Kansas City. Before closing the reports, Mrs. Mitchell told of other children, many of them now outside the county, who are still objects of kindly interest. She said that in the reports they used the methods first introduced many years ago by Mrs. F. §. Camp, who was pres- ent and took a keen interest in the proceedings. Mr. Williams said in closing the meeting that he had never heard better rnrom than made that morning. City ‘Missionary Ncrthrup, who was present at a meeting for the first time, said he wag delighted with the reports. Dinner Served.
