Across the lull is what formerly
w a the school room hut now is, at
\ ..i i<times, the room for morning
ami evening services, the plav room,
an ironing room, a drying room, a
bath room. Kconotny of space!
U these four long tables in the
lai ge dining room the children are
filled three times a day. Oneiorner
is the kitchen in which two big rang
es are busy nearly every morning h ik
ing bread forty latge loaves usually.
A hot water tank, u sink, and work
tables fill the space well. Next to
the kitchen is the cook's work loom
where all bread is molded and dish
es kept. back of this is the store
room with sides lined with shelves
which must be kept well tilled for
storms often keep ns from Nodiak
for several days at a time. In front
of the last two rooms is the workers'
dining room,
Coming back thru the front hall,
we go up stairs. Here we find the
rooms of the workers, plainly fur
nished, and the hoys' dormitory,
which is crowded. Some of the beds
ure m.ule of heavy iron pipe with
springs these were donated hv Mrs.
..mi a- the lest ate home made.
The. e should be replaced with iron
bed; Who will furnish the means?
In the attic the large boys have just
finished a room for themselves at
one end. The main part is used for
drying clothes, for half the time they
mi st be dried under cover. At the
soutli end is the store-room where
hoys' clothing is kept until issued.
Returning to the first floor by the
bai k stuns, we p.iss thru the wash
house, This is a busy place several
days each week. That is the over
flow from the hogshead up stairs, It
runs continually and another stream,
as large, runs at the cottage,
Passim; in t.lie north thru a Ionj;
shed, we sec the ice-house a few sti ps
up the hill, and the wood shed at
the top. Here the boys can find
work cverv day in the year. Above
the wood shed is the shop and store
room for tools. Here too is the
carpet loom on which has been wov
en nearly ail the raj; carpet you see
on the premises.
This jrravel path leads to the
Winch i dormitory, and it is an easier
road than the front one. Mrs. Ellen
M. It. Winch, who so recently went
toiler toward, paid the cost of this
huildinj;, which is the j;>rls' home.
On the j;round floor are a sittini;
room, a play room, a sick room, and
a sew in j; room where the girls do the
mending, darning, and other work.
The second floor is used for the dorm
itory, and the attic for clothes drying
and store-room. This huildinj; joins
to the Cottage the first room of which
Mrs. Campbell has for her own.
The wash rooms are at the back
and a bed room and other dry rooms
ate in the second story.
