A PARTIAL REPORT
February I, 1937- December 31, 1937
Gentlemen of the Board of Di?'ectors of the ColO?'ed 0 1'­phanage
of North Carolina:
In submitting t his r eport, may I first take this oppor­tunity
to thank you collectively fo r having faith and con­fidence
in me to elect me Superintendent of this institu­tion.
I shall at alJ time keep the interest of the children
and the institution in the foreground and make these in­terests
the motivating power of all institutional activity.
Having come to the Orphanage at the time that I did,
it will be impossible to make the type of report that would
be most desirable, nevertheless, Gentlemen, it gives me
pl easure to r eport the fo llowing:
1. In the beginning, as now, we were beset with many
problems pertaining to child care, but to my thinking,
the most imminent problems were food, child handling,
living conditions, and the lack of adequate f inance. These
problems have been given most attention for the past
eleven months.
A. FOOD
Since we had a shortage of funds and did have land,
the larger par t of the year ha been pent in rai ing and
preserving foods.
Ga?'derzs-May 1, 1937, we tarted using cabbage
from our garden where we had planted three and one-half
acres of cabbage. Shortly after the cabbage, we started
having garden peas, onions, and other vegetables. In this
way, we have been able to have a diet sufficient in bulk,
calories, vitamins, and balance between the food types.
This has made the children more satisfied, healthier, and
happier, and we t hink they have gained weight on the av­erage
in a very satisfactory manner. Our gardens have
produced a total of vegetables eaten, namely :
Lima Beans ______________________ 1156 pounds
String Beans _____________________ 6243 pounds
Cabbage _________________ . ________ 5 50 pounds

In addition to this we bought yery cheaply and canned :
132:- quarts Apple
;390 quarts Apple Butter
1129 qu:uts Peaches (with a value of $646. 0)
Thi' makes our total canned food yalue 81.775.70.
In addition to food eaten and canned, \"e have mea­sured
into the cribs. 420 bu hels of yello\\' co rn, 1,000 bu-hel
of white com, and in the fields we ha\-e an e' timate
of 200 additional bushels of white corn. This makes a
total of 1.620 bushel.; of cribbed corn, \"ith a \-alue of $972.
The foclcler, 13hucks. tops. and hay are estimated at fo rty­four
ton::; \"ith a \"al uf' of .:' 39.0 . Peanut (30 bu hels)
are \'alued at $60.
R EPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 9
Peas, soy beans, and velvet beans were planted in
most of the corn. The value of the land is inestimable,
but we gathered about 80 bushels of peas valued a t $160.
We have killed 19 hogs which weighed 5,074 Ibs. when
dr essed. They are valued at $1,014.80. In addit ion to t hose
hogs, we will have 21 more to kill later in the year . This
additional kill will make our meat valu e a round $2,000
fo r the yea r .
On April 1, 1937, we bought 300 baby chicks ant ici­pating
the meeting of the need of eggs in the diet. ow
we have 146 hens and 10 roosters. At present, we a re
getting 9 dozen eggs a day. So fa r , these chickens have
produced 210 dozen eggs valued at $63 and 620 Ibs. of
meat valued at $187.80.
Our cows gave us great concern and still do. So far
this year , they have prod uced 8,450 gallons of mi lk with a
valu e of $3,380. The average has been about 35 gallons
a day. This enables a ll t he children to have three glasses
of milk each day. In addition to milk, we have killed 12
calves a t a value of $84.
ow, we a re buying less food with t he hope of being
able to make t he farm and garden feed us in the futu re.
The value of a ll farm and garden produce this year has
been $14,025.49.
B. H ANDLI IG
The li tt le boys' matron had resigned before my a r ­r
ival, which r esignation was to take effect February 15,
1937. However, she was pr evailed upon to s tay unti l
Ma r ch 1, 1937, at which t ime, Mrs. Lennon, a kin dly
young women with years of teaching experience, took
over this posit ion. The little boys' sit uation, I think, is
very sati sfactory.
The la rger boys' building is matroned by Miss Wynn,
an old worker in the cause. In her building live Mr.
Alston, his wife, and Mr. Gidney. All of these people have
concerned t hemselves with t he larger boys and they are
r esponding nicely.
The girls, who a re matr oned by Mr s. Biggers, of Gas­tonia,
an old teacher. a re not responding a3 one would
wish . They a re sti ll f ussy and seem not to have caught
the vision .
10 R EPORT OF UPERINTE DE T
In general, mo t of the childr en have r esponded ni ce­ly
to kind treatment, but it i hoped that much improve­ment
might yet be made in thi direction .
Now, we have only one boy working off the g rounds.
He ,,,orks at a nearby neighbor' house before and after
chool. 0 children haye been allowed to go out and work
for people except in groups under the supervi ion of one
of our men. The e children haye been carried to and from
work in our " ehicles, eaten all meals at home, and have
been home at nightfal l. _ Text year, " 'e hope that our added
farm and home acti \'ities will take all of the children's
time and that no outside work will be attempted .
All of the time i not u ed in work. A certain time
i set a ide each day for play. This has benefitted the mo­r
a le greatly. The number of chi ldren has been kept con-tant
at the, ugge tion of the State Welfa re Depa r tment.
We have enough beds for one hundred fifty -four children
to sleep. epar ately. Due to certain factors of beha"ior,
we feel that no additional children hould be r eceived un­til
we ha\'e more bed and matrons, or as we demiss child­ren
that others be taken in their place. We also ob erve
that as li"'ing conditions a re made better. as food is made
better and more plentiful, problem of discipline dimin­i
h.
C. LIVI 'G CONDITIONS
The Ji\'ing conditi rll1s are gradually being improved.
In the boys' building, there is sti ll a great need of heat,
but it i:-; hoped that ",hen we ha\'c the heating plant, a gift
of Dr. Shepard's ~c hool. this condition \\'ill be alleviated .
In this building, more beds, a gift of Mr. Proctor, of the
Oxford Ophanage, no\\' make it possible fo r all boy to
ha\'e separate beds. Purchase of additional bedding
makes these beds comfortable and warm. The walls need
painting, the roof needs attention, and all toilet facilities
shou ld be of a type with working parts less accessable to
boys. We haw started to close end openings so as to con­sen'e
heat and make the buildings more comfortable.
The gi rls' building is in need of much work. We ha\'e
just in:-;talled a furnace, the gift of 1\11'. Beiman, of Bei ­man
and Rowell. cf Raleigh. This furnace "'i ll put heat
all O\'er the building and \\'ill r elie\'e much suffering on
the part of ou r girls. \\'e a re also indebted to Go\'ernor
Hoey and ::\11'. Rothgeb of the Budget Bureau \\'ho used

their influence in securing this boiler. In this building,
we have done some painting and much work on the plumb­ing.
There is much more work to be done in this building.
It has never been completed or paint ed inside, and the
porches and eaves need attention. New f loo-rs are badly
needed on the first floor and before hot weather comes
again, the whole building should be screened. Mr. Pick­ens,
while on his most r ecent visit, asked when this
would be done.
In the little boys' dormi tor y, wat er seeps in at the
fl oor and all of the walls are in gr eat need of painting.
This building, however, is in best r epair of any of the
dormitor ies and will be very comfor table when the sewage
connections a re made in the near f uture.
OtheT Buildings. All of the other buildings are in
great need of repairing and r ebuilding. The old granary
is beyond r epair. We have no place for storage of seeds,
f ertilizers, t ools, et c. We hope to make brick f or such a
building next summer.
The Cow Ba1'n. There i no cow barn. The cows are
housed in a lot under a shed which is just a li ttle better
than no protection . We ha"e about 50,000 brick which we
hope to use in building such a barn, as it could be built
next summer at little cost, using Mr. Dixon and some of
the la rger boys who know omething of brick laying and
who are anxious to learn more. Our cows can never pro­duce
as they should with the present inadequate shelter.
The School Building. This building, a gift of Mr s. Duke
in honor of her son, Mr. Angier B. Duke, has deteriorated
very rapidly. The roof we have repaired time and time
again, but before very long a new roof will have to be had
and much plastering, painting, and repairing will have to
be done if the memorial and our school is to be kept
usable.
The Supe1'intendent' Home. This building has served
well its purpose for these thi r ty-five years. ow it needs
r e-building. It cannot be heated; it is poorly arranged;
and it is going to pieces very rapidly. My furn iture, my
wife, and I have suffered much ther e.
D. THE S TAFF
It has been a great pleasure to work with our present
staff. All worker have at all times worked har d, coop-

era ted to the limit in all things. Those who felt that they
could not cooperate re igned and went elsewhere. Mr. Al­ston
has exhibited every cooperat ion, despite the fact that
hi alary \Va cut $20 a month in an effort to economize.
1\1r. Gidney r eplaced 1\11'. Short as head farmer at $10
less alary a month. He has proyed his worth, as is exhi­bited
by the value of farm crops produced thi yea r. All
workers have caught the vi ion and have not only coop­erated
with me, but with one another in all way po sible.
In addition to our regular staff, the Board of Educa­tion
has made it pos ible for u to have the sen'ices of
l\Ir. Lennon by gi\'ing him \york in the school as a r egular
teacher. for whi ch se n 'ice he draw hi s salary. For his
lodging and meal . he t rain ' our singing group and is
at present t raining a banel. During the summer , he di ­r
ect the boys' play acti\' ities . He ha al so been valuable
to us as an agent in carrying our cause to the people and
he has br ought in a goodly source of money with his ing­ing
and pr ogram gr oups.

F. SEWER
The City of Oxford, Mr. Keller, Mr. Steagall, and Mr.
Jennett, have been most cooperative and helpful in the
construction of the sewer. All expenses have been kept
at a minimum. Mr. Dixon and the boys made the brick
and have put in the manholes. This project is now almost
completed. It will have a far-reaching effect upon the
health improvement.
G. SUPPORT OF THE WORK
The support which we have received from the public
is most gratifying. In addition to the appropriations com­ing
from the State and the Duke Foundation, churches,
schools, and individuals have made contribu tions in goods
and money to the extent to date of $2,389.04 in goods and
$3,164.53 in money, which makes a total of $5,553.57.
This amount includes $480.00 from the sale of the Bar­ringer
property and $195.00 r ent.
In addition to these items given to which we have at­tached
monetary value, a very much needed and appre­ciated
support comes in a loan of 11 band instruments
by the Rotary Club of Oxford.
At present we have on a state-wide drive which has
already brought in over $600 and which, I think, will give
us many more dollars before all places have reported. This
drive has been initiated for the most part in each county
by the County Superintendent of Public Welfare. These
ladies and gentlemen, along with Mrs. Bost, Miss Mitchell,
and Miss Shuford, have been most helpful in this and
other r espects. We owe them many thanks for their aid
and encouragement.
14 REPORT OF S UPERINTENDENT
H. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Since the Superintendent's home is not livable, is
too large, and is 0 run-down, I wish to ask that we be giv­en
immediate permis ion to rebuild or remodel it, even
though the nece ary money be borrowed.
2. Our experience on the farm this summer showed
that we need one more man to work from March 1 until
August 1, whose duty would be to manage the boys who
have to cut weeds, hoe, set out plant, etc.
3. That the pay of matrons be raised to a figure that
would attact and hold capable people, and that Mr. Alston
be given back his cut of $20 per month and that Mr. Gid­ney
be given a rai e.
4. That as we ca n, with our labor or a our funds per­mit,
bui lt a suitable gran ary and cow barn.
5. Our laundry work i a cause for action. In the laun­dry,
there is inadequate material to work with and an in­adequate
force of workers to do the work. At present,
each matron, with the aid of children, does the laund ry
for her building. The children lose too much time out of
school and it makes t he matron' load too heavy. I there­fore
recommend that a special laundry matron be em­ployed
and that at the earliest possible moment, we install
a power washer, water extractor, and dryer.
6. I r ea lize that you gentlemen are busy with your in­dividual
affairs, however, as I see our opportunity, it
should not be cu rtailment, but expansion. To adequately
care for the children, keep the plant in good repair and
creditable to all, we need an additional $10,000 per year.
Will you please help by tapping income not now available
to the in titution?
1. Co CLUSION
In conclusion, I wish to thank you, t he members of
the Board of Directors, for the aid and encouragement
that you ha'·e gi,·en me and the institution. I am sure that
with your conti nued aid and encouragement the Orphan­age
shall continue to go forward and shall increase in its
usefulness to the dependent children of our State.
Respectfully submitted,
T. K. BORDERS, Supe1·intendent.

REPORT FOR YEAR
January 1, 1938-December 31, 1938
Gentlemen of the Boa?'d of DiTectO?'s of the Col01'ed Or­phanage
of North Cm'olina:
In submitting this report. may I fir st thank all of you
for the time, thought, and advice that you have given
me during the year in carrying on the work here at the
Orphanage, and in getting the publ ic r e-interested and
re-educated about the work and functi ons of the Or­phanage.
Jo greater work for human uplift can be done
than the rearing, educating, and t r aining of dependent
chi ldren.
Our work here might well be classified under the
following headings :
1. Care
A. Dormitory
B. Health
C. Feeding
D. Play
E. Discipline
2. Training
A. Health
B. Work (kinds of work don e)
C. Citizenship
D. Spiritual

4. Publicity and Support
CARE
A. D ORMITORY
The living quarters of the children, as well as the
workers, are the three dormitories. The small boys (ages
24 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
f rom five to twelve) live in the newe t dormitory under
the motherly matronship of 11'. Claire Lennon. These
smaller boys have shown wonderful progress in all re­spects.
They haye learned to be kind, polite, and to as-ume
r esponsib ility. F or a time they had large girls to
clean, wa h, make beds, mend, sew on buttons, and other
details about their building. They asked that the girls be
mo\"ed and that they be allowed to do their own hOllse­keeping.
Thi reque. t \\"a granted them, and now they
do all their own house-keeping, and take great pride
in haying a mo t orderly and well-run dormitory. They
like to keep themselyes neat and perha!ls no more bath­ing
than any other gr oup. A ni ghtly bath is to th em a
nece s ity. They fou nd t ha t t o take a bath in summer
\ya as ea y and more fun than j ust \ya hing feet, so
they ha \'e kept the pr acti ce up and now it is quite a
habit wi th them.
The g irls were our g r eate t \\"orry a year ago. Now,
afte r getting a new ma t ron, Miss Lovej oy, now Irs.
Gi dney, the gi rL ha \'e taken on n w life and have changed
fo r the better. The girls' building is t ill the lea t in\'iting,
phys ically, and in the greatest need of repair. The wa ll
and fl oor of this huil di ng ha\"e ne\"er been f ini shed. The
f urn iture is meager. A parlor , howe\"er, is in this build­ing
and adds much to the dormitory, making it more
li\"able. This parlor was fu rni shed by Ea t Cedar Gro\"e
As ociation. The fu rni shings bought by thi Association
a r e a floo r lamp, cu r tains, a li\'ing room suite of three
pieces, mirror s, tables, and 20 occasional chairs in bright
color s . Too much pr aise can not be gi\"en these worthy
people fo r t he insp iration and comfort that they ha\"e
gi\'en the gi rls.
Formerly, cloth ing was owned collecti\"ely, but now,
each girl has her indi\'idual cl othing and they a re show­ing
much pr ide in caring fo r their clothing and them­selns.
Through the courtes~" of l\I1'. Benjamin Cone and
M1'. Hill Hunte r, enough clot h was given 0 that plenty
of plain d r e ~ se .' may be pr o\'ided. Girl s a r e gr eat imi ­t
ator s a nd from t heir ne,,' matron they seem to ha \'e
caught a new \'is ion and the out look for U1em eems much
more r romising than thi' time last year.
The la rge bOY3' building is in better shape t hi s year.
The larger boys a re under the tutelage of l\Iiss Wynn,
Mr. Als ton, and Mr, Dixon and eem to be gaining in
REPORT OF S UPERINTENDENT 25
self confidence and the feeling that this is their home.
They have not made the outward progress that the other
twO' groups have, but perhaps 76 boys are too many for
one matron to properly look after and inspire. This year,
we have tried to provide them with more clothing and
have allowed them, with permission, to go off
the grounds to church and to visit f riends with good re­sults.
It is hoped that suits and adequate clothing might
be provided for them on these occasions so that they
may not develop inferiority complexes from looking odd
among their friends and at church.
The heating plant ha not yet been installed in t his
building. This is the only dormitory without steam heat,
and the building is not as comfortable nor as pleasant
as we would like for it to be. These boys are supposed
to have individual clothing, but steel lockers will be
necessary before much progress can be made along this
line. Each boy does keep up with such individual po -
sessions as a comb, a tooth brush, wash cloths, towels,
etc.
B. HEALTH
Visitors often exclaim, "How do you keep them well,"
or "How many die out of this large number each year?"
We are happy to report that due to the entrance of heal­thy
children, the inces ant care and attention of Dr.
Thomas, and the matrons, that we have had no seriou
illness thi year. One boy was confi ned to the hospital
for a time due to a burn.
This healthful condition I am sure is due partially to
a healthful diet including, milk, egg, vegetables and
fruits, three regular meals at regular times daily, sani­tary
living conditions. and play. P erhaps t he next great­est
asset to health is that all sewage is now processed
by the city sewage pl ant s ince the completion of our sew­er
line, which reaches from the Little Folks Building to
the di posal plant one and one-half miles away. There
are sti ll several health measures needed. All children
who enter hould be required to have Tuberculin Tests
and chest X-Rays. In the kitchen, a steam dish wash­er
should be installed which would insu re safe and sani­tary
washing of a ll dishes, glasses, and silverware.
26 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
C. FEEDI G
Much progres eems to have been made along this
line becau e of the gai ns in weight, the health of the
children and their general demeanor. They start each
day with some warm cer eal and milk, along with some
other whole orne food served in generous portions. In
summer when there is work to be done, the heavy meal
fo llows at noon time. U ually two f resh \'egetables, milk,
cornbread, and dessert three time each week are ser­ved.
The childr en are very fond of ice cr eam and since
we ha\"e plenty of milk and eggs, ice cream i one of the
cheapest, yet mo. t wholesome des ert that we can have.
This is usually the Sunday dessert; either f ruit or berry
pie is the week-day desser t.
Due to our farmi ng and canning acti\'ities, there i
not much difference in the winter and summer diet. In
summer the lIght meal is a rou nd 5 :30 p. m. This u. ua lly
consists of soup or Yegetables. bread and milk. We try to
ha\'e fresh meat at least twice each week. All of our cull
calves. h am~. rooster s. and old hens go this way. This is
not enough for the \\'hole year, however, and from time
to time we buy fresh meat and fi h. If you look at our
children . I believe you will agree with me that they look
well -fed.
D. PLAY
"All work and no play makes J ack a dull boy," is
an old adage. The time at noon . after upper, and Satur­day
afternoons is pJa~' time. It is amusing to see the
number of things our chi ldren can do to p l a~' . I think
they CO\'er the li"t from marble shooting to s\\'immi ng.
They like baseball, and la :.::.t summer during play time
you could count half a dozen ball games at any time. Mr.
McGhee. a nei ghbor, has a nice swimming hole in a creek
t hat run through his farm. During summer, he permit­ted
the chi ldren to swim. Diffe rent gr oups kept the
place occupied at a ll times.
Last summer .iust befor e and after Joe Loui was to
fight. the boys were gi\'en boxing gloves and I am sure
J oe himself would ha\'e beamed with delight to have
'Seen the different interpreters of "Joe Loui s' Style."
Fights would start at noon on Satu rday and go until
da rk. Fighti ng even ~;uppl a nte d baseball for a while. Mr.
Lennon and Mr. Alston spent much of their leisure time
REPORT OF S UPERINTENDENT 27
teaching the children new games and supervising the
ones they already knew, much to the delight and amuse­ment
of the children.
E. D ISCIPLINE
Discipline varies with the personality, the offender,
and the nature of the case. It might be the going to bed
for an afternoon, the missing of de sert, extra duties,
staying on the campus for varying periods, r elinqui h­ing
certain privileges, a "talking to", as the children put
it, or corporal punishment in rare or extreme cases. It
matters not what the discipline may be, the offender or
offenders are always talked to and made to understand
that what is happening is for the offender's own good.
I am happy to report, however, that the neces ity for
punishment is on the decline and the children are rapidly
approaching the pO'int where they see this phase of care
more objectively.
TRAINING
A. Health
Healthy bodies are necessary to the proper develop­ment
of our children. Each worker has health training
as a major objective in dealing with the children. Each
child is taught to use his or her individual wash cloth,
towel, tooth br ush, and to eat only clean, wholesome
food . They are taught that food handlers are to handle
food only with clean hands and cooking utensils. Those
who work at the dairy are taught that clean cows, clean
dairy su r roundings and clean handling are indicative of
clean mi lk. They are taught to keep their bodies clean
by freq uent bathing and changing of clothing. They
are also taught that their rooms and buildings are more
pleasant and healthfu l if clean. From time to time, sys­tematic
health talks are given larger boys and girls.
P eriodically, phy ical examinations are given and advice
given by Dr. Thomas on a basis of findings. Due to the
small amount of illness we feel that the health training
is making atisfactory progres . This fa ll, Dr. Barnhill,
of the State Dental Depar tment, pent two weeks here
examini ng and fi lling teeth, at the same time teaching
the care of the teeth and oral hygiene.
28 R EPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
B. WORK
Each child has a job. The proper performance of this
ta k is pa ramou nt . E " eryth ing possib le is done to teach
t he children that a job well done i a work of a rt; that
no job i menia l, but t hat each ta k i to be done with di -
patch and to the best of the abili ty of the doer . An effort
is being made to have wo r ke r~ take the atti tude that they
a r e t he leaders in t he work about t he place and not t ask
master ' . Boys and girl do not like to be told, "You work
a nd I'll bos' ." They work much mor e willingly if the
worker leads the ,yay.
F rom time to t ime child ren'. tasks a re changed so
that their work li fe might cover a wide r a nge of work
exper iences. We have few lazy chi ldren. They have learn­ed
tha t work is a producti"e enterp ri ze and that the bet­t
er they work the more they will ha,'e t o enjoy. 931"'j- of
our ch ildren on lea,-ing the Institu tion will u e their
hands to ea rn a li,·ing. It is reg retta ble that we have so
little trades trai ni ng. If we mer el.,· feed t he children and
allow them t o gr ow uP. we are nnt taking advantage of
our larger oppcrtunity. E,'e ry effort :::.hould be put to
the de" eloping of a tra des traini ng program, so that
each boy and gir l might go out into the world with speci­f
ic , kill and t]" ~i n i n g- in ."ome trade. Thi year we have
made a :::.mall begi nni ng in thL dir ection by in tituting
barber tra in ing. and by the pur cha e a:1d operation of a
modern electric . hoe, hop. In this shop se" era l boys are
learn ing to repa ir shoes as i:::. done in any up-to-date hoe
shop. with the hope t ha t they may . ecu re employment as
cobblers on being di scharged from the Orpha nage.
In our :::.chool, \\'e ha" e secured t he sen 'ices of a Home
E conomics teacher who teaches the girl with the idea
of :::.eCLll' ing c10mest ic e m p l o ~' m e n t on leaying the In:::.titu ­ti
0n. We feel that this traini ng to girls of t he elementary
school le\"el is il1\'a luab e. a:::. these girls will perhaps ha\"e
to en ter t hi :-; fie ld of labor.
It i:::. hoped that in the near future we shall be f ina n­cia
lly able to bui ld. eq uip and m ~ n an Industria l School
that will eq uip Ollr child ren to earn a li"ing in t he trades

C. C IT IZENSHIP
I n a democr acy. the tra in ing fo r citi ze nship is most
e:::.sent ial and no part of the popu lace may be neglected
R EPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 29
if the democracy is to survive .and f unction efficiently.
The children have the char acteristics of good citizens
held constantly before them. Every effort to teach the
characteristics of good citizens in a practical manner is
made. They are taught how to get along together and how
to respect rules and regulations, not only because they
are laws, but also because the ob ervance of these laws
produce for them more freedom, more happiness, and a
chance to serve better their community and themselves.
Mrs. Neikirk, Superintendent of Public Welfare of
Charlotte, says that children who are r eared in orphan­ages
do not appreciate the value of money or property
because there has always been more of what they need
where the last came from. We are endeavoring to teach
our children that all properties, waste, and belongings cost
money; that there is only so much money for all pur­poses;
and that the better care they give their personal
and Orphanage belongings, the more money there will be
for impro\"ements and additional per onal belongings.
D. SPIRITUAL
Since the Institution is non-denominational, no train­ing
to directed along denominational lines, but a deep re­ligious
atmosphere is nourished and every effort in reli­gious
training is made and prevails upon the campus. In
Sunday School the children are kept in the lead. They are
given r esponsibility and places of leadership. Each Third
Sunday is given over to a student program where the
children do practically all of the program. The First Sun­day
of each month is turned over to some minister who
is invited to speak, with the rest of the services in charge
of the children. No child would think of going to bed
or eating without prayer or a blessing asked upon the
food. Then, too, a very definite effort is made to teach
them that prayers and blessings are not something merely
to be said or sung, but must be lived.
On Christmas we were pleasantly and most agreeably
surprised when the various Missionary Societies of Ox­ford
, at the suggestion of Mrs. Annie Rogers, gave 52
Bibles and Testaments to be used in Sunday School and
other devot ional services.
E. ACADEMIC T RAINING
Our school work on the grounds is progressing rather
nicely under the principalship of Mrs. Smith and her
30 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
eight capable assistants. Thi year we are happy to re­POl't
that we have t hree girls and twenty-one boy attend­ing
l\Iary Potter High School. Rev. Davis, Principal, gives
us many good and encou raging report of the progress of
these children. This year, we wi ll have one high school
graduate, William Perkins, a fine, well manner ed boy who
manage to stay on the Honor Roll despite the fact that
he travel with our Band and qua rtette. All of these child­ren
are taking ad\'antage of the vocational courses given
at l\Iary Potter.
Band-Last year . the Rotary Club, of Oxford, gave
the Orphanag ele\'en in tru!11ents. To th i number, we
ha\'e added nine additional instruments. Those of you who
ha\'e heard the Band will agree \'lith me that these boys,
under the tute lage of :\ladison . Lennon, a teacher in
our school, ha\'e made wonderful progres . The Band
made its initial appearance on Anniversary Day here.
ince then. they ha\'e played for orth Carolina College
for. 'egroes < t th ir Home Coming Game. The Band has
gi\'en concert.' in the schools and churches at near-by
places. \\'e are expecting much in the way of revenue to
come from the Band as .'oon as it hqs better tra\'eling fa­cilities.
Then. too. <e\'eral of the most outstanding band
leaders in this country ha\'e come out of Orphanage
B:lJ1ds and we expect this training to ha\'e \'ocational pos­sibilities
for our boys, as \Yell as the giving of happiness
and pleasure to them.
MAl NTENANCE
A. B ILDINGS
This year we have been able to improve the physical
plant some\\'hat. as these needs were gr eat. Through the
courtesy of Dr. R. L. Flowers, 1\Irs. l\Iary Duke Biddle
was kind enough to gi\'e S500 so that a new roof was put
on the Angier B. Duke l\Iemorial School Building. This
r oof was badl" needed. as each time it rained it was nec­essary
to mo\'e cia ses and continuously mop up the water
\\'hi ch came in through the old roof. This old roof had
been patched and repaired again and again until further
repair was impossible. During the summer. the boys paint­ed
all of the outside woodwork on thi building. ew win­dow
frames were put in where old ones had rotted and
new doors were hung. Now. the school building is in a
good state of repair on the outside, but sever al hundred
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 31
dollars could be well spent on the inside of the building
to repair the damages done by a leaky roof over a period
of year s. The outside wood work in the boys building
has also been painted this past summer by the boys. The
openings in the stairs at each end of the building have
been closed and doors have been put up. This was done
anticipating a more comfortable building when the heat­ing
plant is installed, which we hope will be done soon .
With the aid of the churches in Louisburg, at the sug­gestions
and endeavors of Rev. Lewis and Rev. Pollard,
a parlor in this building (Boys) has been partially furn ­ished
with radio and parlor furniture. These improve­ments,
we are sure, will tend to' make the large boys more
comfortable in their home, and more pleasant sUl'l'ound­ings
will add to their cultural outlook on life.
Most of the wood-work in the dining room and chapel
has also been painted by the boys during the past sum­mer.
In the kitchen a new f loor has been laid . The old one
had reached the place where sanitation was very difficult.
The back porch of the kitchen was closed in and the whole
building was re-screened. In addition to the improve­~
nents on the building, a new kitchen range was purchas­ed
to replace the old one that had r eached a point that
cooking for our large family was made impossible.
In the girls' building, some work has been done on the
roof. The material for a coat of roof coating is on the
grounds. During the early fall the boys painted most of
the outside wood work and several rooms inside. The
larger room which was painted inside is now used by the
girls, as a parlor and a living room. The other large room
on the first floor has been painted, too, and is used for a
play room and study hall. Much work needs to be done in
this building. The sleeping quarters need plaster and
paint. The f loors on the first story need to be relaid, as
years of wear have reduced them to shreds and splinter s.
This building needs much furniture, etc. It is so drab that
it does not well lend itself to the inspirational develop­ment
of the girls.
The wood work outside of the smaller boys' building
has been painted. The toi let facilities of this building
have been made available by the completion of the sewer
li ne. A bath room for the convenience of the matron has
been installed. Minor repairs to the wood work have been
made. In this building, however, we have one major tro u-
32 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
ble-water eeps in th rough the ba ement during periods
of protracted ra in', It i our intention to dig the dirt
away f r om the f ront of the building and try to make it
water-proof by u ing ta r, cement, and f illing in with peb­bles
so as t o allow dra inage,
If the weather permit, this ummel' we hope to make
a kiln of brick to be u 'ed in a modern cow barn and
granary, Our cow cannot produce milk as they should
when they do not ha\"e a warm dry place in which they
may be housed, From time to time, we are purcha ing
new farm mach inery, We ha\'e no place to keep this mach­inery,
seeds, nor fe rtili zer s, a the old gr anary and sheds
a re beyond r epair,
B, GROUNDS
Thi:-. summer our lawns and hedge were kept neat
and t rim. but anti cipated g rounds improvements had to
be postponed due to ext ra time that had to be g iven to the
farm because of la rger acreage and al so beca use of incle­ment
\\'eather. This year. we hope to gi\"e more time to
the de\'elopment of ground that will be inspirational
and beautiful.
C, EQ IPMENT
ome necessar y impro\'ements ha\'e been made in our
equipment. A ne \\' Farmall "20" Tractor , a Tractor Di k.
a Grain Dr ill. an 8 f t. Lime Spreader, an a ll teel Wagon,
and a T\\'o Disk Tractor Plow ha\'e been added to the
farm equipment. • 'ext spring a Grain Ha n 'este r will
ha\'e to be purchased. as this year \\'e will ha\'e about --10
acres of small gra in to han est. Last ~'ea r, we u ed cradles
fo r th is work. but thi year the gr ain crop is too la rge to
rely on this slow, hand method,
It is hoped in the \'el'y near f uture that orne laundry
equ ipment may be purchased , as the laundry. de pite the
fact that \\'e ha\'e an effic ient and hard working matron,
is one of the sorest spot and causes the la rger girls to
lose too much time out of school. In the kitchen a mod­ern
bake o\'el1 i a necessity, " 'hen one con-ider the pos­~
ibi l itie s of the sp read of disea -e. remembering that chi ld­ren
are washing the dishes for so la rge a family, a di h
\\'asher. too. becomes a \'ery des irable piece of equipment,
if not a necessity,
R EPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 33
D. FOOD AND FARM
The farm as you will see by the following list of pro­d
uced foods is producing a large profit, food and general
farm experience for the boys despite a bad farm year.
This year, due to the fact that we were working 50 more
acres (making a total of 1 0 acres under cu ltivat ion) we
have been so busy that the boys have had no free time to
work for neighboring farmers. It is also hoped that the
efficiency and productivity of the soil will be impr oved,
as the Department of Soil Conservation has mapped out
for us a five year improyement program which includes
terracing, building of water ways, woods improvement,
and crop rotation for e\"ery foot of our land . This pro­gram
is well underway and despite the fact that it will
cost about $400 each year, we think it a wise plan to fo l­low.
Mr. McClellan and his trai ned staff have been most
enthusiastic and helpfu l and have come to us with aid
and advice upon call.
The following is a list of product produced on the
farm with the values attached according to local whole­sale
market values :

PUBLICITY AND SUPPORT
This year the Superintendent, 1\11'. Alston, Miss Wynn,
and l\Ir. Lennon ha\'e traveled around .,15 thousand miles
in Korth Carolina \\'ith the children's groups in an en-
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 35
deavor to have North Carolina become "Orphanage con­scious."
In addition to this travel, thousands of letters,
newspaper articles, folders and other publicity material
have been distributed. In 70 counties, Orphanage Aid
Committees have been organized and a State-wide drive
is now in the process of conclusion.
The crowning factor in the publicity of this year was
a series of four radio broadcasts which were made pos­sible
through the courtesy of the officials of R'adio Sta­tion
WPTF, Raleigh, North Carolina.
On Monday, Nov. 7, 1938, Dr. E. E. Toney, Chair­man
of the Board, made a masterful introductory ad­dress.
He was followed on Monday, November 14, 1938,
by Attorney Parham who made a wonderful appeal to
the State in behalf of the Orphanage. On November 21,
1938, Mr. Medford ably addressed the radio audience in
behalf of the Institution. On November 28 Dr. C. C.
Spaulding made the final address with a special plea to
the Negro citizens of the State to make the Orphanage
an object of their support. Part of the time at each
broadcast was taken by the choral group under the direc­tion
of Mr. Lennon, our Music Instructor.
You will notice by the list of contributions that our
contribution are coming from all over North Carolina.
We cannot expect large amounts from my people, but we
hope as time goes on that larger numbers of people will
contribute. White friends throughout the State are con­tributing,
too, in large numbers and in larger amounts.
This, too, should encourage my people to increase not
only the number of their contributions, but to also in­crease
them in proportion to their ability. We hope also
that all people in large numbers will learn to remember
the Orphanage in their Wills.
It is most gratifying to note that this year's contri­butions
total larger than last year.

The public support ancl the upport produced by the
farm and other enterp ri ses on the grounds ha\-e been men­tioned
and from the growth showll in the last b\'o year
indications are that;,\,e might e.:pect it to contin~le to
grow each year as \'e are better quipped for fa rming
and as the public becomes m l'e "Orphanage conscious."
This means of support. ho\\,e\'er, i the smaller and Ie'
stable of our a\'enues of sUPPoli.
As you know, fo r the past biennium the State of
Korth Carolina has made an annual gl'ant of $26,500.
" 'hen the AC!\'isory Budget Commit ee met, a committee
from the Orphanage composed of Attorney B. \Y. Par­ham,
:'>11'. T. C. Ranis. Dr. E. E. Toney, and the Super­intend
nt appeared before the Budget Committee and
asked that in \'i e'" of the fact that the income of the Or­phanage
\\'as inadequate to meet all needs and that since
it \\'as necessan' to bOlTo\\' from time to time to meet
these needs, and that about 813,000 \\'as owed on land
and bank notes \\'hich amount could only be paid from
money gi\'en by friends. that the State for the next bien ­nium
grant the Orphanage S30,000 each year to coyer the
total cost of maint nance. ,,-hich \\'ould make it po sible
for the funds coming f rom the public and the Duke Foun­dation
to be used to clear up all outstanding indebted-
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 45
ness. This request was made, too, in view of the fact
that though we are a private non-profit corporation all
of our children are wards of the State of North Carolina,
coming to us through the various County Welfare De­partments
and leaving us only with the approval of these
same Departments. Then, too, if we are given $30,000
it will enable us to take more children, as at all times
we are forced to deny children admittance. The State
Welfare Department asks that we not take more than
150 children until we have more fund so as to more ade­quately
care for the needs of the children.
Each year The Duke Endowment, another source of
income, makes a much n ee ded and much appreciated
grant which varies from year to year depending upon the
number of days of care and the earnings of certain se­curities.
This year, it is hoped that a large part of this
appropriati on may be used to reduce ou r $13,000 debt.
CONCL 810
In general we feel that the Lord has blessed our ef­forts
this year by allowing u to care for our children
with no major mishaps or catastrophes. We look for­ward
to 1939 with great hope and anticipation of ability
to do a better job fo r these entrusted to ou r care.
We would like to ask each of you in the ew Year,
despite the fact that you are busy men, to take every op­portunity
with the State Legislature, the Governor, and
other State officials to advance the cause of the Orphan­age.
Jot only with this group do we ask you to advance
the cause, but with all people and groups of people in our
fair State and Nation.
Respectfully submitted,
T. K. BORDERS, SupeTintendent.
46 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
REPORT FOR HALF YEAR
January 1, 1939- Ju ne 30, 1939
Gentlemen of the Board of Directors of the Colo?'ed 01'­phanage
of North Carolina:
Thi six month which ha elap ed ince your meet­ing
in December has gone by seemingly so rapidly that
we have not done all of the thing~ that we set out to do
this year, but we are till making progres along finan­ciallines
and with the care of the children . We can as ure
you that we ha\'e a healthy, happy, atisfied g roup of boys
and girls in our care. Mr. Harri in hi fin a ncial r eport
\vill tell you more of the progres that has been made to­wards
putting the institution on a ca h ba is. I shall con­fine
my report to child progres and the state of the
plant, including a few of the many needed item which I
wish you to con ider.
As you know I have been incapacitated for a while due
to an illness which ha kept me in bed for part of t he
time. In making this report I am pa ing on to you the
state of co nditi ons as i seen through the eyes of the in­di\'
idual worker. I ha \'e asked each worker to make a re­port
of hi s or her department and I shall r ead to you ex­cerpt
from these repor t :
GIRLS BUILDIl\G
MRS. LE:\'ORE GID~EY, ,lJatl'on
Very little impro\'ement ha been made on the Girls'
Building since J anuary 1, 1939, Hence, this r eport will
be ome,,'hat s imil ar to pr e\'iou r eport. Howe\'e r , quite
a bit of work has been done in the girls' lavatory and bath
room. \Vi th what facilitie we ha \'e her e, we are able to
get a long . but impronment here would be in order.
Our sleeping quarter are not ufficient in that we
ha\'e fo r ty-two gi rl s sleeping in 33 beds, The e condition
cause quite a bit of confu ion. The completion of the third
floor would r elieve the sleeping situation enti r ely. If the
third fl oor is fini hed and equ ipped. accommodations can
be gi \'en to f ifty gi rls \\,ith only one in each bed. A you
know this bui lding i one of the oldest on the campus and
was ne\'er completely finished inside, Much improvement,
in the \yay of painting, plaster ing, new floors. etc" is need-
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 47
ed. However, we have t ri ed to make the building as home­like
and comfortable as possible by putting into each
r oom beautiful rugs, though cheap, which were made by
the WP A, table scarfs, bath mats, etc. Every room now
has one picture and a mirror, which were given to en­courage
orderliness and cleanliness in the room. In spite
of the fact that the girls' bedrooms have unpainted brick
walls and rough floor s, they have taken great pride in
keeping their r ooms spot less.
The girls do their own mending, sewing, laundering,
hair dressing, and cleaning. Some of the girl are n eces~
sarily more dependable than others and we think that
these gir ls have been a great influence on the others in
helping them learn to be more careful and to take more
pride in their per sonal affairs.
Illnesses so far have been minor ones. The general
state of health for this six months has been very good,
with no serious illness of any kind.
We sincerely hope that at an early date our building
will be r emodeled and made beauti fu l, for we feel that as
these dark drab conditions are covered with lightness and
beauty, so will our minds and hearts be cleaned and clear­ed
of malice and blackness that might be there. Then the
girls' building will be a more pleasant and likeable place
in which to live.
We hope that by another year our building will be pro­perly
screened and thus guar d the children against di­seases
carri ed by fli es, mosqu itoes, and so forth.
LITTLE BOYS BUILDING
MRS. CLAIRE LENNON, Matron
At the present time we have forty-two boys in our
building. These boys range in age from six to fourteen
with one exception. We have one boy, Thomas McDaniels,
who is a junior in high school, who assists in our build­ing
and lives in the building in the capacity of head wor­ker.
Every boy has a separate bed, individual clothing,
tooth brush, towel, etc. The boys are learning to take
great pride in their possessions and seem to be improving
constantly in their respect for property.
Since J anuary 1st a ll of the downstairs wood work
has been painted. WIater was seeping in the basement, but
work has been started to water-proof the walls of the
48 REPORT OF SUPERINTE DENT
basement and we hope that next winter our basement
will be in better condition so that it can be u ed a a play
room and study room, ince January we ha\'e added some
cots, por ch furnitu r e, curtain fo r the econd floor win­dows,
and rag rugs which were made by the WP A, These
rugs, though in expensive, are beautifully designed and
add much to the genera l appearance of our bui lding, We
feel that the improvements ha \'e been a good inve tment,
lJecau e a' \\'e are able to make impro\'ements we notice
a decided reaction in the boys toward an appreciation
of that which is beautiful and a desire on their part to
help keep it beautiful.
We ha\'e had no major illnes es, only common illness­es
, uch as toothache, colic. colds. etc, The weight gained
pel' child has been , atisfactory, We do notice, ho\\'e\'er,
that there a re ,e\'eral boys \\'i th bad ton ils, We hope
that these tonsil will be remo\'ed in the early fa ll.
Besides clothing and shoes for winter , our major needs
a re some equipment for play room fo r use on cold and
ra iny days, In this play room \\'e would like to ha\'e seats
iJuilt along the \\'a lls with hinged tops, so that the boy
might h:l\'e a place to keep their ".iunk·', whi ch includes
marbles and other toys and little keepsakes, There would
also be a black hoard in this room that they might be able
to draw 01' write. and white paint fo r marking hop-scotch
squares and marble rings on the cement floor. In addition
to thi - play room we \\'ould like to fix a r eadi ng room,
There are ten boys who a re fifth graders and abo\'e. and
it is necessa l'\' that they do some home work and out ide
reading, Thel:e is al 0 a great need fo r some small chai rs
for the bed r oom, Each boy h ou ld ha\'e a chair so that
he might sit and place his clothes on this chair when he
goes to bed,
BOYS BUILDI:-\C
:'I118S :'I1ARTHA WY:\K • .lJail'On
At the prese nt time th ere are 70 boy living in the
Boys Building-the larger boys of the in titution, They
are healthy, r obu t, and a re beginning to take the atti­tude
that they are the young men of the campus,
Each boy has hi own clothes and is supposed to look
after minor r epairs to t hem, Some of the boys who attend
high school needed suits of clothing to wear to the acti\'­ities
that they attended, We are \'ery grateful to se\'eral
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 49
friends who gave us su its of clothes that we have altered
to fit the boys.
There have been only two major illnesses this year­one
case of appendicitis and another boy was severely
burned.
Each per son has a job and is, held responsible fo r it.
When tasks are completed each one is free to play. Dur­ing
the winter months the boys enjoyed listening to the
radio and played. On Sunday those boys whO' have kept
a clean record during the week are given the privilege of
taking walks. Many of them have joined churches in the
community and include church attendance in their walks.
We try to provide a home-like atmosphere and to do
this there are several major repairs that should be made.
The building need repainting and re-roofing and we need
screens in all of the windows. These repai rs would make
the boys building a healthier and more sanitary place for
the boys.
LAUNDRY
MRS. A VRIE TAYLOR, MatTon
The girls do t he washing and ironing under the su­pervision
of the laundry matron. The different groups
send their clothes on a special day of the week. The
greatest problem is, getting the clothes washed during the
school session without handicapping the girls by keeping
them out of school. All of the washing is done by hand,
which makes the progress very low. The laundry is
equipped with nine tubs, two electric irons, 17 flat irons,
a heater and a hot water boiler.
With the addition of modern laundry equipment the
work could be carried on without keeping the children out
of school and everyone could have clean clothes regularly.
DINING ROOM A D KITCHEN
MRS. HATTIE: SYLVERS, Kitchen Matron
MISS ALMA HOLLOWAY, Dining Room Matl'on
Our meals depend very much upon the farm because
about three-fourths of our food comes from the farm.
There are very few food items that are bought, except
such items that the farm and dairy and poultry yard can­not
produce. We try to plan the meals in such a way that
each day each child gets at least three glasses of milk and
50 R EPORT OF S UPERINTENDENT
an adequate por tion of a ll five of t he basic feod subst ances
daily. In the winter t ime and off season when f r esh ve­getables
a re low. we have an adequate suppl y of canned
f ru it and vegetables that have been ca nned here in our
canne r y. Three meals a re sel'\'ed each day. In the summer
time t he hea \'iest meal is sen 'ed at noon and in the winter
it is served at ;) :30. The food seems adequate and sati s­fy
ing as the children a re a ll healt hy and seem to be grow­ing
and gaining weight at the proper rate.
The dini ng reom and kitch n sen e not only a a place
in which food is prepa red and sen 'ed. but al 0 as a tra in­ing
c nter. Groups of bOY~l and g ir ls are taught how to
cook and to sen 'e food pr operly. All of t he matrons come
to the dining room at m al time to assist. Dur ing t his
t ime pr oper hab;ts of ating are taught. We fee l, how­e\'
er, that if cur table' were reconditioned. t hat our din­ing
room would be perhaps a litt le more pleasant.
Since the f ir ,t of January t he di ning r oom and kitch­en
ha\"e been painted throughout and a new f loor ha been
put in the kitchel1. Our greatest need is a refr iger ati ng
plant. because we are getting mor e mil k and other per­ishable
proeluct~~ from the fa rm and garden, a nd if \\'e
had a large refrigerating plant, these food could be
more adequately cal'e el for.
FAR:\I :\:\D GARDE~
:\IR. G;L~llY GW"EY, Head FOrltlel'
At the pre,'cnt time ou r farm pr ospects look good,
Last year our total fa rm products aggregated a value of
about $20,000. We fee l that t his year ou r r et urns will be
la rger than last year. The head fa rmer is assisted on t he
fa rm by t\\'o men and in time of emer gency a ll men and
boys stop othcr \\'ork and turn t heir a ttention towa rds
the farm . We are beginning to ha\"e a r at her ni ce lot of
farm mach inery, which was purchased in the last two
years. incl uding a Farmall "20" tractor , a t ractor di c.
a tractor disc plow. a lime, preader. a ne\\' all steel two
horse \\·agon. a grain han'ester, a mo\Ying machine and
a two hor 'e molasses making mach ine. All of t hese item
ha\'e been costly, but we feel that they a re adequately pay­ing
for themsel\"es in two ways : Fi rst, thi modern ma­chinen'
enables us to do our wor k much more th oroughly
and quick ly and enables us to cu lti\'ate more la nd, Our
land in cu lti \'atio n has j u. t about doubled in t he past two
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 51
years. Seco'nd, we feel that this machinery is valuable
because many of our boys are going to be farmers, and
that they should not leave the Institution without know­ing
how to operate modern farm machinery.
Our greatest farm need is that of stock replacement
and an additional team of plow mules. At present we have
five work animals, but three of them are old and need to
be replaced with the addition of a new heavy team of
young mules.
This year we are working 68 acres of corn, 20 acres
of wheat, 3 acres of oats, 4 acres of cane, 3 acres of pea­nu
ts, 7 acres of soy beans, 4 acres of oats and clover, 10
acres of oats and vetch, 2 acres of alfa lfa, 5 acres of to­bacco,
22 acres of lespedeza, 3 acres of string bean , 2
acres of peas, 3 acres of tomatoes, % acre of onions, one­tenth
acre of okra, 10 acres of sweet potatoes, 3 acres of
Irish potatoes, 14 acre of squash, 3 acres of watermelon,
% acre of beets, 112 acre of carrots, 2 acres of collards and
turnip gr eens, 4 acres cabbage, one-tenth acre cucumbers,
and peas have been sown in a large portion of the corn.
DAIRY, HOGS, AND BRICKMAKING
MR. J . S. DIXON
During January we killed six hogs, the last of the
fifty-one that were to be killed fo'r this year's meat.
Our prospects for meat next winter are good. We will
have 38 heads including two brooder sows and one male,
one litter of seven pigs about two months old. They have
been fed soy beans as a part of their daily diet together
with hog ration and vegetables.
There are twenty old cows in the herd and we are
milking sixteen of them. We expect to begin milking four
of the old ones and two young cows in a short while. There
are also three fine heifer yearlings about one and a half
years old and five large calves about f ive months old.
Four of these large calves are bulls and will be used for
meat. Fifteen calves were born this year. One died and
two were butchered. We also have a Guernsey bull about
three years old.
Gallons of milk r eceived each month:
January ________ 1196 gallons April __________ 1247 gallons
February _______ 1068 gallons May ___________ 1360 gallons
March __________ 1288 gallons June ___________ 1201 gallons

SHOE REPAIR
C. A. ALSTON
Cl'YS Super visor and Assistant Superintendent
In a dditi on to ou r regula r work. upervisi ng the boys,
and keeping the buil di ng , plumbing, et c. , in repai r , we
have r un our ne\\' depar tment of shoe repairing each
school day afternoon fo r two or t hree hour. ince Jan­uary
1, ,,;e ha \'e put on 120 pair of heels and half -soled
190 pail" of shoe. Part of the e ha lf oles wer e ewed on
and a nother port ion were nail ed on. In the hoe repair­ing
depa rtment we haw a regular gr oup of boys \\'ho do
t his wor k and we feel that t hi depa r tment has not only
sa\'ed t he Orphanage con ider able money in r epairing
and ha lf oli ng shoe, but that it adds another avenue of
voca ti onal t ra ining which we t hink is \'ery valuable to
the boy pa rticipating.
CA INC
Up to the f irst of July we had canned 236 gallons
tring bea ns, ;) gallons blac k berrie, 12 gallons squa h,
and ha\'e made 302 gall on of kraut.
CHICKEN
Since J anua n 1st \\'e have rai ed two bat che of chick­ens.
There were' 6-1 0 in the f irst batch, which wa a gift
of the Raleigh Hatchery. and there wer e 300 white leg­horns
in t he econd batch. ince J an uary 1 t we ha\'e ki ll­ed
for food 69 hens and 120 f ri el'S. in addition to the
chicken ki ll ed. \\'e ha\'e used 1,4 19 dozen eggs.
All of the build ings need pain ting outside. The school
building needs painting in. ide. Some repair work needs
to be done to t he top of the gi rl ' bui lding and the boys'
building. The girls' bui lding needs pa inting al o. All of
the windo,," in all the bui ldings \\'ith the exception of the
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT 53
dining room and kitchen need to be screened before next
summer.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. That Charles Alston, Assistant Superintendent and
Boys' Supervisor, have restored to his salary $10.00 per
month, a cut which he received two years ago.
2. The laundry is one of our weakest spots. The lar­ger
girls who have to do the washing miss so much time
out of school that they cannot make normal progress and
become discouraged and hard to manage. The executive
committee has under consideration a plan to equip the
laundry with modern laundry equipment and we trust
that this matter may have your cooperation and approval.
3. We have absolutely no place to store our farm
produce such as wheat, oats, etc., plows, fertilizers , etc.
A granary is a necessity. I ask that you give this matter
some attention. I think with the purchase of some lum­ber
, the granary could be rebuilt.
4. Our cows are still not properly housed. By fall we
will have enough brick to build a barn if some method
of financing the building can be devised.
5. Madison Lennon, a teacher in our school, trains
our band and music groups. These groups bring to the In­stitution
considerable money and much publicity. His
compensation during the winter is his board and room.
This summer he was to get 10% of his collections-which
would include street playing, which was tabooed by the
State Welfare Department. Since he could not play on
the streets his commission has not paid him for his time,
but he has gone ahead just the same. We only have one
car and he is taking groups about in his car, which he
cannot afford.
I would like to have you say what he should be paid,
what mileage he should be given, and who should be re­sponsible
in case of an accident.
