REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.

To the Board of Directors of the Oxford Orphan Asylum.

        GENTLEMEN:--It is my duty and pleasure to report upon the operations of the Oxford Orphan Asylum from December 1, 1899, to December 1, 1900, and I shall follow the custom of taking up the work of each department separately, since I believe by this method a clearer idea of the year's work can be conveyed.

        First, let me call your attention to the fact that each child receives instruction in school half of each day and performs duty in the industrial departments of the institution during the other half day. Recreation periods are arranged so that school and general work does not become burdensome.

KITCHEN, SEWING ROOM AND LAUNDRY.

        The kitchen duties are performed by four of the larger girls, under the supervision and training and with the help of the matron, who is admirably fitted for her heavy and responsible duties. The kitchen always has a clean, tidy appearance and the food is well cooked, wholesome and abundant. Twenty-nine smaller girls are employed in the dining rooms, serving meals, waiting on the tables and doing the necessary work to keep their department neat and clean. The cleanliness, system and order in kitchen and dining rooms deserves more than passing mention. Strictest care is exercised in this and every other department to reduce waste to a minimum.

        The Masonic Hall over the dining rooms is still being used as a sewing room. Under the supervision of a competent matron and her assistant, twenty-three of the larger girls are engaged half of each day, some in the morning and others in the afternoon, in making the clothing for the boys and girls and in keeping it in repair. The sewing room is doing good work and the girls are receiving instruction and training which ought to be valuable in future life. The garments are carefully marked before being sent out. An accurate record is kept in the office of the clothing and each teacher keeps a record for the children under her care. The teachers are charged with the duty of reporting the clothing needs of their children and they perform conscientiously their duty. The garments from the laundry pass through the sewing room every week, are checked by the proper list, receive repairs needed and are sent to the several cottages to be again checked by the lists in the hands of the teachers. This department has been rather heavily taxed this year, as new winter and summer Sunday uniforms for the girls have been made.

        Ten girls do the immense amount of laundry work for the institution. The character of their work has greatly improved during the year, for which the matron and girls deserve great credit. The matron was formerly an Asylum girl.

SHOE SHOP.

        Five boys, with the instruction and assistance received from the efficient manager of this department, make and repair the shoes for children at the institution. In addition to this, considerable custom work is done and the increase in receipts from this source during the year is encouraging. The financial statement of the shoe shop, given later, shows that it has been conducted this year at a profit to the institution of $302.44.

FARM.

        About twenty boys are engaged in this healthful, important and commendable work on the farm. They are receiving excellent training. Considering the unfavorable season, the results from this department have been very satisfactory. Enough rough food for the stock this winter has been produced. The garden has usually furnished a sufficient supply of vegetables for our tables. The herd of cattle is in good condition and the supply of milk and butter has been unusually large.

        With the change now contemplated of turning the rocky,

hilly portion of the farm into grass and only cultivating the smooth, clean lands, which can be worked largely by the boys, we hope for much better results from the farm than heretofore.

PRINTING OFFICE.

        Seven boys are now learning this excellent trade. They, with the instruction, supervision and assistance of the competent foreman, set all the type in the course of the ordinary work. The Orphans' Friend and Masonic Journal is printed each week and a large amount of job work is done. Boys from this department always find ready and remunerative employment. Two of our printers have recently reached the age of discharge from the Asylum and good positions were secured for them. The usual statement below shows the year's profit to be $1,327.58.

        We cannot urge too strongly the great importance of hearty co-operation from brethren and friends in our efforts to extend the circulation and influence of The Orphans' Friend and Masonic Journal. It merits a much wider circulation. Its Masonic department is ably edited by Bro. John Nichols, Past Grand Master, and it is the official organ of our Order in North Carolina. We endeavor to fill its columns for the general reader with pure, entertaining, helpful matter. It is published in the interest of Masonry and of our work for destitute, orphan children. Can we not during the coming year increase its subscription list from the three thousand which we now have to ten thousand names?

WOOD-WORKING SHOPS.

        The manager of this department has eleven boys in his charge and he is painstaking and faithful in his efforts to teach them a valuable trade. Two boys have gone from the shops this year and both have good positions. They are doing their work and conducting themselves well. We give later a detailed statement, showing financial results from this department. When we read this statement and remember that eleven bright boys are progressing nicely

in acquiring a good trade, we will recognize that this stands among our most important industrial features.

        Near our shops the Oxford Furniture Factory has recently begun operations under the management of men of high character. Eight boys from the Asylum work half of each day in this factory, spending the other half day in school. We are pleased with this arrangement, as it enables more of our children to leave us better fitted to sustain themselves by their skilled labor. Some revenue is also brought to our institution from the employment of these boys.

SCHOOL.

        The progress of the children in school work has been marked and very encouraging. As before stated, each child attends school at least a half day and about sixty of the smaller children have advantage of both morning and afternoon sessions. Faculty meetings are held once a week, when matters pertaining to this department are thoroughly discussed. The work is well organized. It has been found practicable to add another grade this fall and we now have eight grades. As I see it, the purpose of our school is to give the destitute, orphan children in the institution an English education, which is so essential in their efforts to earn a livelihood and which should add so much to their best success and greatest usefulness. We do not go beyond a common school education, but a number of our ambitious, capable, deserving girls are obtaining a higher education in North Carolina Colleges. This is made possible partly by their own labor in the institutions they attend and partly through the assistance of friends.

        Eight teachers are employed in the Asylum and, with the counsel, direction and help of the efficient Lady Supervisor, they have done most excellent work.

        Manual training is a valuable feature of our school course. It is important that the hand and the eye of the child be trained to become obedient, accurate and skillful servants of the mind. The bi-monthly school reports, showing standing of each pupil in scholarship, deportment and attendance, are a great stimulus to good work.

        Usual statement of receipts and expenditures under the several accounts of the institution, from December 1, 1899, to December 1, 1900, is here submitted:

        The principal permanent improvements of the year have been the erection of a badly needed, brick smoke house, located at a convenient point near the kitchen. The water from several additional springs has been conducted to a new spring house which we have built, and our water supply has been more than doubled. Lattice work has been placed underneath the porches of the four boys' cottages. This adds to the appearance of the cottages and gives a convenient, dry, safe place for the storage of wood. Permanent improvements for the year have cost about $540.00.

        Seventy-six children spent the months of July and August

with relatives or friends. We consider this a wise measure. It affords pleasure to the children who go and to their friends and, we believe, is of real benefit to them and to our institution. The boys and girls go out into various sections of the State and the majority of them by their reports, their appearance and conduct, arouse greater interest in their home here. Then too, it is a saving to our institution. Four cottages are closed during these two months. The children do not enter homes, even for the summer, unless we are satisfied that they will be properly cared for. We strive to render the time of the children who remain at the Asylum as pleasant and improving as possible, and seldom see signs of discontent among them.

        Liberal donations in kind have again, during the past twelve months, materially aided us in curtailing expenses. The value of these donations is $1,754.73.

        The singing class tours this year were successful in every respect. The receipts from this source were $3,299.27. Deducting $380.25, expenses paid from the Asylum office and the printing office bill, we have a net profit from the tours of $2,919.02. Masons and friends extended cordial invitations to the children, received and entertained the class with the greatest hospitality and kindness, and worked for the success of the concerts.

        As you will see from our Treasurer's report, voluntary contributions from Masonic Lodges and friends in general have been very liberal. Some of our subordinate Lodges have made it a rule to give systematically and regularly. We recommend this course. It will prove less burdensome to the Lodges and a blessing to our institution.

        Every friend of the orphan child has cause for congratulation and great gratitude to God that, with His favor and blessing, our institution has paid off its old indebtedness. It now stands as a monument to our noble Order, free from any incumbrance whatsoever.

        There are other much needed permanent improvements, which have been delayed in our great anxiety to economize in every way possible and use every available dollar to discharge

the old debt of the institution. Now, that having been accomplished, it would seem wise to give some serious thought to other pressing needs of the institution, which are: A general wood-working and sash, door and blind factory, 54×120, one story, with basement under one portion for painting, glazing, etc., and for general stock. (The location would be favorable for such construction.) Printing office 32×54 feet and two stories high, 1st floor for printing office and 2nd floor for stock room and shoe shop. Laundry 32×54 feet and two stories high, 1st floor for laundry and 2nd floor for drying room for laundry and sewing room for mending all clothing. Boiler house and wood saw, etc., 32×64 feet, one story, in which would be located the boilers, wood saw, splitters, etc. We believe it would be wise to erect these buildings as early as possible at a convenient point on the Asylum grounds, and in the most convenient shape for economical and satisfactory management. This would save much time now consumed in the long walks to the present locations and obviate many other grave objections to the present arrangement. By this arrangement the power now available for the wood-working shops only could be utilized for laundry, wood saw and printing office; the industrial departments would be under better supervision; the children would receive more thorough training; several other important changes would be made possible, which would save money and labor and give very much more satisfactory results. The land where the wood-working shops are now located in town might be sold to best advantage.

        I feel that it is safe to state that by a careful use of all the materials in the old boys' building and in the present shop, this entire work might be done, including needed machinery for shop and laundry, for about eight thousand dollars ($8000.00). I think it would be very wise that this should be done at once, provided special funds can be secured for that purpose without risk of getting the institution in debt again.

        In the expenditure of money for the institution, as in

every other act, may we seek wisdom from the great source of all wisdom.

        We feel the improvements and changes above suggested would put the institution in better shape for a more thorough industrial training of the children than ever before. We regard it as one of our most imperative duties to teach the children, both boys and girls, to work, not at play-house work, but hard, honest labor. We want to lead them to love work. Some of them do not seem to regard work with special favor on first acquaintance, but think very much more of it as they begin to understand and realize its benefits. Many grow up to be industrious, good, reliable workers. Children well trained from their youth to work industriously, systematically and faithfully at any branch of honest labor, mechanical or otherwise, will always find ready employment at remunerative pay. There is always a good demand for capable, faithful and honest labor, so we feel that it is our Christian duty to try to train boys and girls to work at such industries as will give each one opportunity to earn an honest living. They must work at something, and whatever they do, try to do it well.

        But in all this and other matters worthy of mention, we are only unworthy imitators of the grand and good man, Bro. J. H. Mills, who taught the first child to work in an Orphan Asylum in the State and laid the foundation of Asylum management, true, plumb, and square. Each one, in succession following, has endeavored to build well on that solid foundation laid by Brother Mills, while he has gone to the great beyond, there to receive the rich reward of all his labors, and so mote it be.

        We have had quite a number of visitors during the past year, many of them from other States, and we have received many good suggestions and much encouragement in our work. We do hope that the Masons and others will continue to give us frequent visits and always give us freely and fully their suggestions as to what is wrong in the management and how to improve the conditions for the advancement and benefit of our orphan boys and girls.

        The health of our boys and girls has been very good indeed during the past year and for this great blessing also

we are profoundly grateful to our Heavenly Father. Seldom have we had a case of serious sickness. The family seems quite healthy and happy.

        Only one death has occurred since my last report. Willie Freeman, of Oxford, a sweet little girl nearly seven years of age, passed into the great beyond after a few days sickness with fever. Willie's mother was with her child when the hour of death came. After impressive services in the Asylum chapel, the remains were followed by a number of our boys and girls to the Oxford Cemetery, the last resting place of our little friend. The same loving Father who has so long guarded the health of His children here, took this little one unto Himself. In this too, we know that He was wise, merciful and loving. Every such dispensation of Providence bears to us a lesson of life and its responsibility, of our duty to God and to our fellow-man, of the eternal life upon which we have already entered.

        If the boys and girls in the Oxford Orphan Asylum were simply fed, clothed, taught and trained to make a living, the work would not appeal so strongly to all lovers of God and humanity. Moral and religious instruction is of greatest importance. Man cannot live by bread alone. There is a higher life which must be nourished. May these our children be led up to truer conceptions of the meaning of their existence, to higher ideals and nobler purposes, to lives of unselfish, loving service. In the words of another, making a living is important, but making a life is more important.

        We hope and believe the work of the year has been greatly blessed to the furtherance of the interest of orphan children, to the progress of our institution, to the advancement of the kingdom of our Lord and Master.

        The almighty Father of the fatherless led to the inauguration of this work of rescue by the Masons of North Carolina. Under God's blessing the institution has attained its present proportions and beneficent influence. The co-operation and support given to the work by brethren and friends has been impelled by Him. Thanking Him for His protection and guidance in the past and, praying earnestly for His continued blessing, with more faith and hope and love, let us plan and strive and sacrifice to carry forward this great and important work for the orphan boys and girls of our State.

Respectfully submitted,

W. J. HICKS,
Superintendent.
