    articles of wood-carving are made for sale, and orders can always be carried out. Some of the girls are employed at weaving and in laundry work, and both boys and girls are taught farm and garden work. Manual work is taught in the schools, and useful leather and other bags, and raffia baskets are made. Those whose friends are unable to pay for their care and maintenance can be elected by the votes of subscribers, and are admitted for a period of seven years. At the end of this time they can be re-elected. It is expected that the parents should contribute whatever they can afford towards the cost of maintenance. The charitable income is not nearly sufficient for the support of the charitable cases and additional annual assist¬ ance is urgently required in order to avoid any possibility of the number of these cases having to be reduced. A Bankers Order Form for the payment of an Annual Subscription will be found at the end of this Report.
