C., May ist, 1888. The undersigned begs leave to submit the following report of his proceedings as Superintendent of the Thompson Orphanage : Since my connection with the work I have received from all sources the sum of $4,212.92, of which the sum of $2,969.50 has been raised for the support of the institution, and $1,243.42 for the building fund. The total expenditures have been $2,730.01, leav¬ ing a balance of $239.49 for current expenses, at the beginning of another year. I herewith submit an account of the sums received, marked Schedule “A.” and those expended marked “B.” Of the sums paid out, about four hundred dollars was for repairs and building, \ and about five hundred dollars for furniture and such supplies as will last for some years. We now have thirty children in the institution, and the building is full. I’ estimate the expense of supporting the Orphanage with this number, as follows : Salary of Superintendent.$ 800 00 “ “ Matron. 300 00 “ Matron’s Assistant. 120 00 “ Foreman of the Farm. 240 00 Thirty Children at $60 Each.1,800 00 Teacher . .. 100 00 $3,360 00 Deduct the probable proceeds of the farm. 5 °° 00 Leaving balance.$2,860 00 We are greatly in need of an endowment large enough at least to cover the salary of the Superintendent and other employes of the institution. It is very embarrassing to be compelled to solicit funds for one’s own support. If such an endowment was secured, there would be but little difficulty in procuring the funds necessary to support the children, as our people and the public generally will cheerfully contribute for that purpose. I have based my estimate of the cost ot providing for the chil¬ dren upon the supposition that they will be supplied with clothing by the women of the diocese. This can be done with little trouble if each parish and mission will send us a box of clothing once or twice a year, as many have done heretofore. There is a debt of about $1,600 on the property. $1,000, with interest for two or three years, is owing to the diocese, and a lien encumbers the property so that the deeds for part thereof cannot be completed. The bal¬ ance is now due by the Trustees of the diocese to the orphanage, the amount having been advanced by the Superintendent out of the building fund to pay off a debt upon the property, he taking an obligation in the nature of a lien on the land for the same. These debts should by all means be paid off, as they seriously cripple the growth and usefulness of the institution. The progress of the work of the orphanage has so far been satis¬ factory in all respects. The children have been uniformly healthy, and have greatly improved in mind and character. The average intelligence is good, and a more promising set of boys and girls can hardly be found anywhere in the country. Their moral and religious training is closely attended to, and they already begin to show the result in their appearance and deportment. It has been a source of much labor and care to the Superintend¬ ent to provide the means of support for this institution. But the task has been a grateful one on account of the cheerful assistance he has received everywhere from the people of the State. The bulk of what has been given has been contributed in small amounts, though some few persons of means have contriubted larger sums. My plan has been to try to secure regular contributions, by inducing persons to agree to give something, however small, each* 4 ' month for the support of the orphanage. A few dozen subscrip¬ tions in each congregation, ranging from twenty-five cents to one dollar per month will, with the offerings on Thanksgiving Day, go very far towards its support. Another excellent plan is to have a guild in each congregation whose members will agree to do some¬ thing for the institution each month. One such guild has been organized in Tarboro, called the "Thcmpson Orphanage Guild,” which contributed nearly three hundred dollars last year ; and one • in Christ Church, Raleigh, called “The St. Agnes Guild,” com¬ posed of young people and children, contributed more than one hundred dollars. The women of the diocese, as might have been expected, have done a noble part by this institution. In addition to their liberal contributions in money, they have been untiring in their labors, collecting subscriptions and procuring supplies in the way of cloth- bedding, etc. Many branches of the Woman’s Auxiliary have contributed in this way, and I have received quite a number of val¬ uable contributions from beyond the State. I estimate that the supplies in kind that have come from all these sources, in addition to the money, will amount to at least one thousand dollars in value. I should be glad to publish with this report an itemized statement ot all the contributions, with the names of the parties contributing, but the list would be so long as to entail considerable expense. But I will use this occasion to thank all who have assisted in this noble work, and to beg that they will continue to aid us, assuring them that so long as 1 am connected with it, I will do my best to make a wise and judicious use of the means they entrust to my care, so as to advance the welfare of man and the glory of God our Savior. E. A. OSBORNE. Superintendent. y i • '• ■ . »*•» ^ ” . « ; • ' ■ * ' » TTHK Training Institute CHARLOTTE, N. C. a Second Annual Report •> t88q REV. E. A. OSBORNE SUPERINTENDENT CHARLOTTE, N. C. The Hirst Printing and Publishing Company the and training Institute In making this second annual Report as Super¬ intendent of the Thompson Orphanage, I am impressed with a sense of profound gratitude to Almighty God, who, by His good providence has been pleased to favour and prosper the work even beyond our expectations, and to shield it from any disaster. Our children, 30 in number, have been blessed with good health. The spiritual, moral, intellectual and practical training of the children, has, in the main, been satisfactory and encouraging, and they show marked improvement in every respect, and are, without exception, so far as I can say, happy and contented. Our farming operations are now tolerably well organized and equipped, and, I hope, will become year by year more profitable, both financially and as a training school for the children. We have employed a teacher for about ten months during the year, so that the children could be taught a portion of each day when not at work. We have been enabled to complete a comfortable eight room, two story residence for the Superin¬ tendent, and also a very good two story barn; to put a good wire fence around the main building of the institution, and also to fence a large piece of bottom land for pasturage, which will not only reduce the expense of keeping our cows, but also 4 be a. source of some little revenue to the institution. The people of the state have manifested much interest in the Orphanage, and, as its benefits have not been confined to our own Diocese, neither have the contributions. Quite a number of parishes and individuals of East Carolina have given liberally towards our support. We have also received a number of contributions from other states. As our usefulness has been extended, so have our expenses increased. The account shows: Amount received during the year.$ 33 68 7 2 Sale of Cotton. 150 oo Balance from last year for current expenses . . . 239 49 For building fund.

One thing we need most urgently is an infirmary. We have no suitable place for our sick, and in case of contagion the whole school is at the mercy of the disease. A comfortable apartment could be built for about $ 600 . We also need an industrial hall, where various kinds of mechanical operations can be carried on, wfith an apartment for a play room for the children in bad weather. This building would cost about $ 1000 . A chapel is also very much needed. At present we hold services in the school room, but it is dificult to impress children with proper ideas of reverence and devotion under such circumstances. If we had a chapel that would cost about $1000 we could build up a small congre¬ gation around the Orphanage, and the benefit to the children would be incalculable. We also need printing material in order that we may publish a paper and train some of the children in the art of printing This would be of great practical service to the orphanage in many ways besides the training of the children. The experience of other institutions has proven that a paper pub¬ lished by the institution not only pays expenses, but gives a surplus to the concern. A good outfit will cost about $500. Our great need is an endowment. Our people have generally responded very readily to every appeal I have made, and no doubt they will continue to do so. But an institution of so much importance 6 as this, should be placed upon a more certain foot¬ ing than to depend entirely upon voluntary contri¬ butions for its existence. It is especially important that the salary of the superintendent and other em¬ ployees should be provided for by an endowment. This would always secure an efficient head ; and then the rest of the means for the support ol the institution could be easily provided for, as people will always contribute for the wants of children, if there is a reliable and efficient person to represent the work, and see that the funds contributed are properly applied. T he Board of managers have passed a resolution asking the Convention to set apart a portion of the Mary Ruffin Smith legacy for this purpose It would be difficult to conceive of a more fitting use to which it could be applied. I desire to acknowledge with much thankfulness the unvarying kindness that has been shown me, personally, both by our ministers and laity in this work. To their bounty and generous support the church is indebted for whatever measure of success has been attained. Many guilds and societies have been formed, and through their devoted and self denying labors much has been done for the work. And in those congregations where these organiza¬ tions have not been formed, other efficient means have been adopted for aiding the cause. We are greatly indebted to the Woman’s Aux¬ iliary, both in the State and out of it, for money and supplies. Through the instrumentality of this organization we have been mainly furnished with clothing and bedding for the children. We are also under many obligations to the railroads of the state, the Charlotte Street Car Company, Mr. J. W. 7 Wadsworth, merchants and lawyers of Charlotte and other towns, and to the Mecklenburg Iron Works, for favors shown. I hereto append a statement of our receipts and a brief summary ot the disbursements for the year, regretting that my space will not permit me to men¬ tion each individual act of kindness shown: MAY CONTRIBUTIONS, 1888.

C.: Hirst Printing Company. 1891. fp ICCFS of fl) and put it into the hearts of His people to provide for the support of these dependent children ot the Church, of whom we now have forty-seven. Twenty-eight are at Thompson Hall, and nineteen at Branson Hall. The latter department is used for small children. Eleven of our children are from East Carolina. That Dio¬ cese contributes liberally to the support of the Institution, as will be seen from the schedule of contributions. This schedule is referred to as showing the sources by which the Orphanage is supported. A number of parishes in the diocese have complied with the request of the convention by organizing guilds, which render efficient aid in carrying on the work. It is greatly to be desired that all should do so, to render the support permanent and secure. , „ . The farm has paid well during the past year, and affords pleasant and healthful employment for the boys. I estimate its products at about $1,000. involving an outlay of about $400, giving a net balance of about $600 in money and supplies for the table. The girls are taught such domestic arts as cooking, washing, sewing etc., but we feel the need of some other kinds of industry in order to fit them for a higher sphere of usefulness and happiness than can usually be procured by domestic labor m this section of our country, owing to the competition of cheap nejro labor in that line of work. To this end we recommend the establishment of a steam laundry, knitt.ng factory or od industry that will give them such training as W11 en “ bl ^ h ^ a ‘°. earn good wages when they go out to work, and in the mean time contribute in some measure to the support of the Orphan 3 ^ The sympathy and interest of our people throughout 4 State have been unabated, and the indications are that the Insti¬ tution is permanently and firmly established. 1 he employees of the Institution are faithful and conscien¬ tious workers, and the superintendent attributes the success ot the work mainly to their devoted labors. A gentleman of Char¬ lotte has kindly undertaken to have a chapel built on the grounds ol the Orphanage. This will be an important addition to the work, and a benefit to the neighborhood. We still greatly need an infirmary ; also an industrial hall. The former can be built for about $600, and the latter for about $ 1 , 000 , or less. They would add greatly to the efficiency of the work. We are under many obligations to persons in all parts of the State and in other states for kindnesses and courtesies shown us during the year. The railroads and express company have been very kind and accommodating. I also desire to mention with much gratitude the unceasing kindness and assistance of Dr. S. B. Jones, our physician in charge, who has always faithfully attended the sick without compensation. Drs. William Graham, Geo. Graham and Alexander have been very kind and helpful in their special lines, and rendered much assistance. Nine children have been discharged during the year, of whom two have nice h@mes, where they are happy and contented. The others have returned to their relatives. One of our girls is at Claremont College, Hickory, where she has been for two terms, through the assistance of the Guilds in Charlotte and Hickory, and the generosity of the proprietor of the school. She desires to become a teacher, and Mr. Sanborn, after keeping her two terms at about half rates, is now keeping her for the present term without charge, rather than to disappoint her aims. Two more years, at $100 a year, would enable her to graduate. We have received from all sources during the year . . $3,475 24 Balance from last year... 83s 64.

The average monthly contributions have been somewhat larger than heretofore, and the expenses somewhat larger also. If the contributions continue at the present average, they will barely support the work at its present capacity of forty-five children No extra efforts were made during the past year to increase the contributions. I hope to make such efforts during the coming year in order to put the work in better shape for accomplishing the ends in view. Our expenses are about $300 a month, or nearly $100 a year for each child. Respectfully submitted with the annexed schedule as part of this report. E. A.
