emphasize the importance of correct

'Hie children come to school clean
and bright in appearance and are
punctual and regular in attendance.
Whenever there is fresh snow, or
slush, or the weather unusually cold
the girls and little boys are brought
with the team and sleigh. In their
school work the K B children show
very plainly the effects of a wholsome,
well balanced diet, regular habitsaud
Wind and sensible treatment. Their
attitude toward the school work and
its discipline is good, reflecting as it
does the moral and Christian spirit of
the Orphanage.
