THE ORPHAN'S HOME.
A Fine Public Institation. The New
Building. A Xoblo Work.
Situated on a beautiful rise, just
north of the Oregon asylum for the
insane, a handsome frame structure
has been built during the past year,
which stands there to-day as a mon
ument to a number of the noblo la
dies of Salem. This building occu
pies a plat of ground consisting of
fifteen acres, and is the new homo
for orphans, erected by the Oregon
Children's Aid Society.
This society was organized in 1866.
Its organization came about through
the donation of ten acres of this
tract by Mrs. Elizabeth Parrish,
first wife of Rev. J. L. Parrish,
which was made provided the soci
ety wouiu erect a building lor a
home for orphan children, right
away. Mrs. Parrish, Mrs. V. L.
Moores, Mrs.- H, T. Clarke, and
Julia A. Smith accordingly incorpo
rated the Oregon Children's Aid So
ciety in September 1860, and began
to receive subscriptions to the fund
for the erection of the building on
October 4, 1866, Mrs. Alfred Stanton
and Mrs. J. S. Smith each giving
$1.00 on that date to the fund. Dur
ing the fiscal year 1868, '69 the house
was completed and .furnished, and
by October 1869, one child was being
cared for by the home, and seven
more applications had been received.
Since that time, the society have
had the care, at different times, of u
great many orphan children, and
during the past few years, the old
building has become totally inade
quate to tho demands made upon
the society. The legislature of the
state has for sevoral years given the
society an annual appropriation of
$1500 to aid in support of the
institution, and after repeated re
quests, the last assembly of that
body made a further appropriation
of $2000 to aid in the erection of the
new building. While this amount
was small, yet itwas large enough
to materially assist the members of
thesociety in this work.
In many ways, by tho practice of
rigid economy, donations, etc., the
building fund was swelled to an
amount in excess of SS0OO, and the
present handsome structure was
erected at a cost of between $8300,
and $8400. A reporter of the Cap
ital Journal accepted the kind
invitation of some of the ladies of
the society this morning, and spent
an hour or more in visiting this
institution. He found Mrs. Dr.
Shelton, iv very capable and estima
ble lady, in charge as matron, and
slip very kindly tool? him all over
the building. The structure is of
the Queen Anno style of architecture,
two and a half stories above tho
basement, and 66 feet front by 88
feet deep. A broad verandah
reaches across the entire front, and
around part of the west sido of the
building. Entering at tho broad
double doors, one is shown through
a wide hall into n cosy parlor or
reception room, furnished very
neatly, with nice carpets, and good
furniture. From this room, tho
matron led tho writer through two
large, handsome, well lighted, airy
rooms the first her own room, and
the second, connected with tho
matron's by sliding doors, the girls'
(lomitory. In this are several beds,
all neat and clean, and in no wise
"huddled." Passing from this
room, we enter a back hall that
leads into the bath-room, and girls'
wardrobe. In this closet, each girl
has a shelf, with her name on, and
each keeps her clothes separate from
the others. Connected with a like
hall on tho other side of the build
ing, is the boys' bath-room and
wurdrobe. From those halls, a stair
way leads to tho basement, and a
door opens to a back porch on either
side of the building.
A largo room in the northwest
corner of the building was finished
for a boys' playroom, but it is now
being used aa a boys' dormitory.
The room upstairs, that was inten
ded for this purpose, has Jbeen used
during tho recent siego of sickness
tmeasles, etc.), nnd a pretty hard
Iego it was, lotiu--ior-several
weeks, as a hospital, and sick room.
This is the only room on tho second
floor that is finished, aa yet, but It is
expected that the next logislaturo
will make a sufficiently largo appro
priation to complete both upper
tortus.
Beside the rooms montioned on
the main floor, are the society's
sewing room, the dining room and
kitchen, all large, commodiousjight
and airy rooms, nnd a good sized
pantry.
In the basement is a largo room,
used as nluundry,hallways, a closet,
the heating room, nnd milk room.
The building is hoatcdin Its entire
ty by a Richardson & Boynton Co.
heater, while most of the rooms, in
addition, havo grates or fireplaces,
some of the latter boing vory hand
some and neat.
Tho building is hard-finished, or
finished with white plaster, and the
wainscoting is ordinary fir, heavily
oiled and varnished with the best
coach varnish. The general cfloct
of the finishings is very fine, and
especially is that of the large hall,
and handsome broad stairway lead
ing therefrom to tho second story.
The work on tho building has ap
parently all been vcll performed,
and much of it was donated. Tho
society had a solicited fund of SS00,
and this was used in fumishinc.
and in adding many comforts,
cementing the basement floor, and
the like. It is but justico to say
that Mr. Durkoop.who did the work
on the capitol steps, did this work
for the society nt half price, fur
nished the sand, nnd donated $20 in
money besides. In fact nearly all
the workmen donated something,
and all the large bills, contracts, etc.,
were discounted, most of them Ave
per cent. The kitchen range was a
gift from Mr. Loewenberg and Mr.
Jjouis Kuhn, and is a fine stove.
The building is certainly a credit
able structure, and will serve the
purpose for a long time, and give a
homo to many an unfortunate
child.
There are now eleven children at
the home, but one ' Miss Anna
Dann, whohas reached her majority,
leaves to-morrow for the home of
her grandmother, in St. Helens. It
is not usual for the society to keep
children until after they get old
enough to support themselves, sel
dom until thoy get past 15 years of
age, as they are by that time gen
erally found a good home some
where. Parties who adopt children
take them on six mouths trial first,
and then, if everything is satis
factory to the person wishing to
adopt tho child, and to the society,
this organization relinquishes con
trol of tho child, so long as it is
treated well and according to the
agreement made with tho society.
The socioty is under the manage
ment of a board of managers, con
sisting of twelve ladies. Mrs. J. H.
Moores is president, Mrs. John
Minto, vice president, Mrs. E. Y.
Chas secretary, and Mrs. G. "W.
Gray treasurer, and they form tho
executive committee. Mrs. John
Holnuui, Mrs. Gov. Moody nnd
Mrs. J. J. Murphy aro the com
mittee to receive children. Mrs.
Moody, Mrs. Minto, Mrs. A. A. Me
Cully and Mrs. Chase were the
committee under whose supervision
tho new building was erected. They
certainly managed its construction
in an admirable manner.
The home is supplied with milk
from its own two cows, and Mrs.
Shelton, beside making enough
butter for present use from this milk,
Is putting up butter for next winter
Tho garden supplies vegetables,
strawberries, raspberries, goose and
blackberries, currants, etc., and tho
orchard, other fruits for the home.
It is intended to improve the lawn
by walks and drives, and many
other important improvements aro
contemplated as the society becomes
able to make theni. It is certainly
a noble institution, and .doing a
noblo work, of which more will be
said later.
