 4. All supplies 
 
 for 
 
 the institution are purchased, 
 
 upon 
 
 requisition approved by the Board of Trustees, in open market, 
 always soliciting competition, and making purchases from the

 Illinois Soldiers' Orphans' Home. 
 
 lowest responsible competitor ; staple dry goods and clothing are 
 purchased in yearly and semi-yearly quantities, thereby getting 
 greatly reduced rates, but owing to our very limited room for 
 storing groceries and provisions, we are compelled to make pur- 
 chases in this line monthly. Some of the most important items, 
 however, such as meat, flour, milk, ice, coal, &c., are furnished 
 by contract, which enables us to obtain them at wholesale prices. 
 All goods when purchased are received by the supply officer and 
 placed in rooms set aside for that purpose, and issued therefrom 
 by said supply officer, in such quantities as are required for daily 
 consumption, upon requisitions from the several departments, 
 approved by the Superintendent. 
 
 5. Of the two hundred and ninety-one children, now in- 
 mates of the Home, there are, probably, about forty who would 
 have some kind of a home to go to were they discharged from 
 this institution, the remaining two hundred and flfty-one would, 
 in our best judgment be left entirely without homes, or friends 
 who are able to care for them. 
 
 Prior to the receipt of your letter, the Board had prepared 
 for publication a statement supplementary to their rgeular bien- 
 nial report, wffiich was intended to be printed with said report ; 
 but as the matters it contains follow naturally in the line of your 
 inquiry, and will throw additional light upon several topics of 
 especial interest to the Legislature and the people of the State, 
 we have concluded to print the same in this connection. Said 
 supplementary statement is as follows : 
 
 Dr. Fred II. Wines , Secretary of State Board of Charities , 
 Springfield , Illinois : 
 
 Dear Sir: — The Board of Trustees of the Soldiers’ Or- 
 phans’ Home, recognizing that the trust imposed upon them is 
 of a public character, and that the institution they have been 
 chosen to manage is supported by public taxation, respectfully 
 present to the Board of Public Charities, and through them to 
 
10 
 
 Illinois Soldiers ’ Orphans' Home . 
 
 the Governor, and the people of the State of Illinois, the follow- 
 ing additional statement of the management and affairs of the 
 said institution. 
 
 We are prompted to this course by the fact made known to 
 us, in many ways, that there is a wide spread belief that parties’ 
 children who are inmates of the home, are there without license 
 of law ; and from a further wide spread belief that the time has 
 passed wherein it was naturally possible that there should be or- 
 phans entitled to the benefits of the Home under existing law, 
 we therefore submit : 
 
 First. Statement of Isaac H Phillips, Esq., the Treasurer 
 of the Board, who has brought into a compact shape the many 
 laws regulating the question of admission to the Home, and the 
 Board adopts and reports his conclusions in the case as their 
 own. They are as follows : 
 
 “The law authorizes children to enter the Home upon the 
 following requisites only : 
 
 1st. That the child applying shall be indigent 
 
 2d. That the father served in the army of the Union during 
 the war of the rebellion. 
 
 3d. That the father died or was disabled by means of 
 wounds or disease received in such service. 
 
 4th. That the father since the close of the war has died 
 from any cause.” 
 
 We beg to refer to the report of Mr. Phillips, herewith sub- 
 mitted and marked “Exhibit Ho. 1,” and make it a part of our 
 report. 
 
 Second. There are at present in the Home two hundred 
 and ninety-one children. 
 
 ■A carefully prepared roster shows, that of this number, both 
 parents of thirty-two inmates are living; the mothers of forty- 
 one of the inmates are dead ; the fathers of one hundred and 
 eighty-two of the inmates are dead ; both the father and mother 
 of thirty-six of the inmates are dead. 
 
 It will be seen that of the total number of two hundred and 
 ninety-one, two hundred and eighteen have lost their fathers ; 
 seventy-three have their fathers living. An examination of the 
 roster will show that nearly or quite all of the seventy-three 
 
Illinois Soldiers' Orphans' Home. 
 
 11 
 
 men have been totally disabled, most of them physically, some 
 few of them mentally and morally. 
 
 We beg to refer to the detailed roster herewith presented, 
 marked “Exhibit N o. 2,” and made a part of this report. 
 
 The Board desire to add, at this point, that they have been 
 necessarily guided in the matter of admitting children by the affi- 
 davits which have been furnished them. The Board have re- 
 quired from every applicant the written statement, under oath of 
 responsible parties, as to the financial and physical condition of 
 the applicants. These affidavits are on file with the Secretary of 
 the Board. 
 
 If they, or any of them, are false, the matter is one requir- 
 ing the attention of the State’s Attorneys of the several counties, 
 and if proper representations are made to the Board in any case 
 setting forth that the charity of the State has been abused by any 
 applicant, the Board will undertake to furnish to the proper local 
 authorities the necessary proof for indictments and prosecutions. 
 
 The affidavits have been made either before a Circuit or 
 County Judge, a Justice of the Peace, ora Notary Public, and as 
 the law is public, it is unreasonable to believe that these gentle- 
 men, or any others, would knowingly or willingly connive at an 
 imposition upon the State. We prefer to believe that the facts 
 have been exactly as represented by them. Parties who have 
 vouched for the correctness of the statements of the applicants 
 have been, among others, trustees of village boards, physicians, 
 lawyers, merchants, farmers, men of credibility and standing. 
 
 The Board is unwilling to believe, in any instance, where 
 positive proof does not exist to that effect that a conspiracy has 
 existed to defraud the State, and to cheat its noblest charity. 
 
 Third. The Board further report that as shown by their 
 regular biennial report, the average attendance of the inmates of 
 the Home during the year ending September 30, 1877, was two 
 hundred and seventy-five, at an average cost of one hundred and 
 seventy-two dollars and twelve cents per child. That in the year 
 ending September 30, 1878, the average attendance was increased 
 to two hundred and ninety-one, and the average cost per child 
 was reduced to one hundred and sixty dollars and thirty-six cents, 
 which amount includes the large expenditures for repairing floors, 
 repainting, plastering, extending the library and replacing old, 
 
12 
 
 Illinois Soldiers ’ Orphans ’ Rome. 
 
 worn furniture and carpets. The buildings having been erected 
 some ten years, repairs were necessary and have been ordered 
 and paid for. 
 
 The Board desire a close scrutiny of the work that they have 
 accomplished during the present year, in making for these chil- 
 dren a home indeed, as well as in name. More contented, happy, 
 well fed, well disciplined children of equal number cannot be 
 found, we venture to say, in any of our public schools where the 
 children go daily to and from their homes, and are under the im- 
 mediate care and supervision of loving parents or guardians. 
 The Board have introduced into the Home a system of calisthe- 
 nics. Under the able supervision of the Superintendent, the 
 girls have been and are being trained in household duties, kitch- 
 en and dining room and main room, taught to make their own 
 clothes, and trained to exercise those faculties which will hereaf- 
 ter adorn and beautify the homes where they may be located. 
 
 Their lives have been brightened as far as possible in their 
 sorrowful circumstances, without additional expense, but on the 
 contrary, at a greatly diminished expense. Diversity of apparel 
 has been introduced. The mournful uniformity of stripes and 
 bars and spots has been discarded. 
 
 The boys have been trained and are being trained in all 
 works relating to farm, garden and house. 
 
 We believe that when the children shall leave the Home 
 they will be found immensely benefitted, mentally, morally and 
 physically by their stay at this institution. 
 
 This charity cannot be measured by the amount of its cost 
 in dollars and cents; it must be measured by its great achieve- 
 ments in the State, by the future conduct of its children fitted for 
 usefulness and good citizenship. 
 
 The Board desire to add that they have sought to make the 
 charity of the institution as extensive as possible, so that parties 
 from every county in the State might be notified to attend and 
 find an open place. 
 
 Very respectfully submitted. John I. Rinaker,

Illinois Soldiers ’ Orphans' 1 Home .

 (Exhibit Number 1.) 
 
 To the Honorable Board of Trustees of the Illinois Soldiers ’ 
 Orphans ’ Home. 
 
 At your special meeting, held Nov. 26, 1878, the following 
 preamble and resolutions were adopted : 
 
 Whereas, great uncertainty exists in the minds of many as 
 to the authority of the Board of Trustees to admit many of the 
 children who are at present inmates of the Home ; 
 
 Whereas, very many question the right of many to receive 
 the benefits of the Home who are inmates, and 
 
 Whereas, it is desirable that full information in regard to 
 this matter should be furnished to the Legislature and the public, 
 
 Therefore be it Besolved , that the Treasurer of this Board 
 be directed to prepare a statement of the law as originally passed, 
 and as amended, regulating the admission of children to the ben- 
 efits of the Home. 
 
 Resolved , that such statement when so prepared, and after 
 approval by the Board, be submitted as an additional report by 
 this Board to the State Board of Public Charities, with a request 
 that the same be communicated to the Governor of the State. 
 
 In compliance with said resolution I have the honor to sub- 
 mit the following statement : 
 
 The original act providing for the establishment of the Home 
 is entitled, “An act to establish a home for the children of de- 
 ceased soldiers,” and was approved Feb. 16, 1865. That act 
 contained the following section bearing upon the question of the 
 admission of children : 
 
 “The object of this incorporation is declared to be to provide 
 a home for the nurture and education, without charge, of all in- 
 digent children of soldiers who have served in the armies of the 
 Union during the present rebellion, and have been disabled from 
 disease or wounds therein, or have died, or been killed in such 
 service ; and in accomplishment of this end, said Trustees may 
 adopt such means as they may deem best suited to attain the 
 
14 
 
 Illinois Soldiers ’ Orphans' Home. 
 
 same, not inconsistent with the laws of this State then in force.” 
 — Session Laws of 1865, p. 77, See. 6. 
 
 The next act bearing upon this question is, “An act to 
 amend an act to establish a home for the children of decased sol- 
 diers,” approved March 5, 1867, which provides, among other 
 things, as follows : 
 
 “That there shall be first received into the institution chil- 
 dren under the age of five years, who are in indigent circum- 
 stances, and then, if the means and endowments of the institu- 
 tion justify it, indigent orphans above that age, but below the 
 age of ten years, shall be received ; and then, if there are sufficient 
 means, all other indigent orphans, but none who are over the 
 age of fourteen, at which age all pupils of said institution shall be 
 discharged therefrom.” — Session Laws of 1867,^?. 29, See. 3. 
 
 In 1869 an act was passed which contained the following 
 section : 
 
 “In special cases of peculiar inability of a pupil to support 
 himself or herself, the said Board of Trustees, or its executive 
 committee, may retain such pupil, although above the age of 
 fourteen (14) years, and until said pupil has reached the age of 
 sixteen (16); and said Trustees, or their executive committee, 
 may discharge at any time any child for persistent violation of 
 the rules of said Home, or when in their judgment it is necessary 
 for the best interests and good government of the same.” — Ses- 
 sion Laws of 1869, p. 39, See. 3. 
 
 On April 3, 1871, an act was approved making appropria- 
 tions to the Home, “for the support, education, nurture and care 
 of the children of deceased or disabled soldiers;” but aside from 
 the general purpose stated, it contained nothing on the subject of 
 what children should or should not be admitted. — Session Laws 
 of 1871-2, p. 159. 
 
 The appropriation of 1873 is stated to be for a like purpose 
 as the last, but contains nothing further on the subject. — Session 
 Laics of 1873, p. 25. 
 
 The Legislature, at its session of 1875, in addition to the 
 regular appropriation for the Home, which may be found on page 
 24 of the laws of that session, passed “an act to regulate the 
 State charitable institutions and State Reform School, and to im- 
 prove their organization and increase their efficiency.” This act 
 
Illinois Soldiers ’ Orphans ’ Home.

 is in effect a revision of former acts concerning the Home and 
 other charitable institutions. The section bearing upon the sub- 
 ject in hand is as follows : 
 
 “The object of the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home shall be to 
 provide a home for the nurture and intellectual, moral and phys- 
 ical culture of all indigent children below the age of fourteen 
 years, whose fathers served in the armies of the Union during 
 the late rebellion, and have died or been disabled by reason of 
 wounds or disease received therein, or have since died ; provided, 
 that in special cases of peculiar inability of a pupil to support 
 himself or herself, the Trustees may retain such pupil although 
 above the age of fourteen years, and until such pupil has reached 
 the age of sixteen, beyond which no pupil shall be retained.” — 
 Session Laws of 1875, p. 105, Sec. 5. 
 
 Section 26 of the same act further provides that “ail resi- 
 dents of the State of Illinois who are, or may become inmates of 
 any of the State charitable institutions shall receive their board, 
 tuition and treatment free of charge during their stay. The resi- 
 dents of other States may be admitted to said institutions upon 
 the payment of the just cost of said board, tuition and treatment; 
 provided, that no resident of another State shall be received or 
 retained to the exclusion of any resident of the State of Illinois, ’ ’ 
 etc. — Laws of 1875, p. 109. 
 
 An act making appropriations for the Home will be found in 
 the laws of 1877, at page 36 ; but it contains nothing directly in 
 regard to the admission of pupils. The appropriation, as in 
 former acts is stated to be “for the support, education, nurture 
 and care of the children of deceased and disabled soldiers.” 
 
 I find no other acts, which in any way relate to the Home ; 
 and I have referred to each act in order to facilitate an original 
 examination by any one who may wish to verify this report. 
 
 It will be seen that the scope and object of the Home was 
 materially extended by the act of 1875, above cited. The requi- 
 sites of admission now are : First , that the child applying is in- 
 digent. Second , that the father served in the army of the Union 
 during the late rebellion. Third , that such father died, or was 
 disabled by reason of wounds or disease received in such service, 
 and, Fourth , (by act of 1875,) that such father since the rebellion 
 has simply died without reference to the cause or manner of his 
 
16 Illinois Soldiers' Orphans' Home. 
 
 death. This is believed to be the reasonable construction of the 
 law as it now stands. 
 
 It will be seen that the date of a child’s birth makes no dif- 
 ference where all other requisites are met. For example, 
 a man disabled by reason of wounds or disease received or con- 
 tracted during service, has since the war married and has a child. 
 Such child is in indigent circumstances. It may have been born 
 last year. It would not on that account be excluded, if otherwise 
 a competent candidate. Take another example, which is the 
 most extreme which could be put : A soldier, who served in the 
 Union army, and who came home safe and sound, dies and leaves 
 a child under fourteen years old ; it may be but two or three years 
 old. This child, if in indigent circumstances, and otherwise 
 eligible, may, under the act of 1875 be admitted to the Home. 
 
 The common impression is, that because it has now been 
 about fourteen years since the close of the war, there cannot pos- 
 sibly be many, if any “soldiers’ orphans” under fourteen years 
 old. That this impression is based upon an erroneous under- 
 standing of the law lixing the eligibility of pupils, will be seen by 
 the most casual reading of the sections above cited. 
 
 Respectfully submitted, 
 
 ISAAC N. PHILLIPS, 
 
 Treasurer.

 OF THE 
 
 BOARD OF TRUSTEES 
 
 OF THE 
 
 ILLINOIS 
 
 Soldiers' Orphans’ Home, 
 
 TO THE 
 
 Thirty-Second General Assembly 
 
 OF THE 
 
 STATE OF ILLINOIS. 
 
 Bloomington, III. : 
 
 PANTAGRAPH PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT. 
 1881. 
 
To the Members of the Senate and House of Representatives of 
 the Thirty-Second General Assembly of the State of 
 Illinois: 
 
 Gentlemen — The Trustees assume that in enacting laws 
 relating to the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home, and in making appro- 
 priations therefor, you desire to act justly and fairly ; and. that 
 you would be greatly assisted in the discharge of your respon- 
 sible duties by a concise statement of its affairs, thereby relieving 
 you from the irksome labor of searching the almost interminable 
 reports for any desired information. 
 
 We are well aware that there is a common impression 
 abroad in the land, that because nearly sixteen years have now 
 elapsed since the close of the war, that either we are maintain- 
 ing in this institution, at public expense, a large number of 
 young ladies and gentlemen capable of earning their own living, 
 or else we are admitting those not entitled to its benefits ; but 
 the most casual reading of the different sections of the law here- 
 inafter cited will dispel this erroneous impression. 
 
 The original act providing for the establishment of the Home 
 is entitled, “An act to establish a home for the children of de- 
 ceased soldiers,” and was approved February 16, 1865. That 
 act contained the following section bearing upon the question of 
 the admission of children: 
 
 “The object of this incorporation 'is declared to be to provide a home for 
 the nurture and education, without charge, of all indigent children of soldiers 
 who have served in the armies of the Union during the present rebellion, and 
 have been disabled from disease or wounds therein, or have died, or been killed 
 in such service; and in accomplishment of this end, said Trustees may adopt 
 such means as they may deem best suited to attain the same, not inconsistent 
 with the laws of this state then in force .” — Session Laws of 1865, p. 77, § 6. 
 
 The next act bearing upon this question is, “An act to 
 amend an act to establish a home for the children of deceased 
 
4 
 
 Illinois Soldiers' Orphans' Home. 
 
 soldiers,” approved March 5, 1867, which provides, among other 
 things, as follows : 
 
 “That there shall be first received into the institution children under the 
 age of five years, who are in indigent circumstances; and then, if the means 
 and endowments of the institution justify it, indigent orphans above that age, 
 but below the age of ten years, shall be received; and then, if there are suffi- 
 cient means, all other indigent orphans, but none who are over the age of four- 
 teen, at which age all pupils of said institution shall be discharged therefrom.” 
 — Session Laws of 1867, p. 29, § 3. 
 
 In 1869 an act was passed which contained the following 
 section : 
 
 “In special cases of peculiar inability of a pupil to support himself or her- 
 self, the said Board of Trustees, or its executive committee, may retain such 
 pupil, although above the age of fourteen (14) years, and until said pupil has 
 reached the age of sixteen (16); and said Trustees, or their executive committee, 
 may discharge at any time any child for persistent violation of the rules of said 
 Home, or when in their judgment it is necessary for the best interests and good 
 government of the same .” — Session Laws of 1869, p. 39, § 3. 
 
 On April 3, 1871, an act was approved making appropria- 
 tions to the Home, “for the support, education, nurture, and 
 care of the children of deceased or disabled soldiers;” but, aside 
 from the general purpose stated, it contained nothing on the sub- 
 ject of what children should or should not be admitted. (Ses- 
 sion Laws of 1871-2, p. 159.)' 
 
 The appropriation of 1873 is stated to be for a like purpose 
 as the last, but contains nothing further on the subject. (Ses- 
 sion Laws of 1873, p. 25.) 
 
 The Legislature, at its session of 1875, in addition to the 
 regular appropriation for the H^me, which may be found on 
 page 24 of the laws of that session, passed “an act to regulate 
 the state charitable institutions and State Reform School, and to 
 improve their organization and increase their efficiency.” This 
 act is in effect a revision of former acts concerning the Home and 
 other charitable institutions. The section bearing upon the sub- 
 ject in hand is as follows: 
 
 “The object of the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home shall be to provide a home for 
 the nurture, and intellectual, moral, and physical culture, of all indigent 
 children below the age of fourteen years, whose fathers served in the armies of 
 
 V

 the Union during the late rebellion, and have died or been disabled by reason 
 of wounds or disease received therein, or have since died ; provided, that in 
 special cases of peculiar inability of a pupil to support himself or herself, the 
 Trustees may retain such pupil, although above the age of fourteen years, and 
 until such pupil has reached the age of sixteen, beyond which no pupil shall be 
 retained .” — Session Laws of 1875 , p. 105, § 5. 
 
 Section 26 of the same act further provides that “ all resi- 
 dents of the state of Illinois who are, or may become, inmates of 
 any of the state charitable institutions, shall receive their board, 
 tuition, and treatment, free of charge during their stay. The 
 resideijts of other states may be admitted to said institutions 
 upon the payment of the just cost of said board, tuition, and 
 treatment; provided, that no resident of another state shall be 
 received or retained to the exclusion of any resident of the state 
 of Illinois,” &c. (Laws of 1875, p. 109.) 
 
 We find no other acts which in any way relate to the Home ; 
 and we have referred to each act in order to facilitate an original 
 examination by any one who may wish to verify this report. 
 
 It will be seen that the scope and object of the Home was 
 materially extended by the act of 1875, above cited. The requi- 
 sites of admission now are, — 1. That the child applying is indi- 
 gent ; 2. That the father served in the army of the Union during 
 the late rebellion ; 3. That such father died, or was disabled by 
 reason of wounds or disease received in such service ; and, 4. (by 
 act of 1875) That such father since the rebellion has simply died, 
 without reference to the cause or manner of his death. This is 
 believed to be the reasonable construction of the law as it now 
 stands. 
 
 It will be seen that the date of a child’s birth makes no dif- 
 ference, where all other requisites are met. For example, a 
 man, disabled by reason of wounds or disease received or con- 
 tracted during service, has since the war married and has a child. 
 Such child is in indigent circumstances. It may have been born 
 last year. It would not on that account be excluded, if other- 
 wise a competent candidate. Take another example, which is 
 
6 
 
 Illinois Soldiers’’ Orphans'* Home. 
 
 the most extreme that could be put : A soldier, who served in 
 the Union army, and who came home safe and sound, dies and 
 leaves a child under fourteen years old ; it may be hut two or 
 three years old. This child, if in indigent circumstances and 
 otherwise eligible, may, under the act of 1875, be admitted to 
 the Home. 
 
 To guard against any imposition being practiced upon us in 
 the admission of applicants, we caused the following circular to 
 be published, and mailed by our Treasurer to postmasters, 
 county officers, and responsible citizens, whence the children 
 come : 
 
 Bloomington, III., 188. .

 It will be observed that the expenses of the last year exceed 
 that of the preceding one by $5,673.87. This is mainly in the 
 first four items, — 1. Salaries and wages, $673.19; caused by a 
 slight increase of some salaries, and the employment of a prin- 
 cipal for the schools; 2. Food, '$1,987.17; 3. Clothing, bedding, 
 &c., $932.88; 4. Laundry supplies, $80.85; 5. Fuel, $1,824.57. 
 Total, $5,498.66. 
 
 At the time of making the report, two years ago (Novem- 
 ber 30, 1878), there were 291 children in the institution; but 
 now, two years and one month later, there are 341 present, or 
 fifty more children than before. This increase of children, to- 
 gether with some rise in the prices of supplies, and the fact that 
 in September last we laid in a large supply of coal (which proved 
 a fortunate thing, owing to the extreme cold weather and miners’ 
 strikes), will account for the difference of expenses for the two 
 years. 
 
 In comparing the cost per capita of our institution with 
 others in the state, it should be remembered that we furnish 
 food, clothing, schooling, everything, for forty cents per day; 
 while in many others the clothing is otherwise provided for. 
 
 We also publish, below, our report made to the Governor, 
 transmitting reports, October 1, 1880, as giving, in as brief and 
 concise form as possible, what we have been doing for the care 
 and nurture of these orphan children.

 Illinois Soldiers'* Orphans' 1 Home. 
 
 To His Excellency , Honorable Shelby M. Cullom , Governor of 
 the State of Illinois : 
 
 Sir — We herewith transmit the reports and detailed state- 
 ments of the Superintendent, Treasurer, Physician, and Princi- 
 pal of the schools of the Soldiers’ Orphans’ Home, covering the 
 period of two years from October 1, A. D. 1878, to September 
 30, A. D. 1880. We have carefully inspected the institution 
 repeatedly during this time, and are satisfied that each depart- 
 ment is efficiently conducted, and that the whole institution is in 
 excellent condition. 
 
 A greater number of children have been maintained at the 
 Home during the past two years than at any previous period of 
 of its existence. Although we have discharged every one when 
 they arrived at the age of fourteen years, and some few before 
 that time, and have admitted children until the physician has 
 warned us that we might endanger their health by overcrowding, 
 yet we have been unable to accommodate a large number of 
 worthy applicants. Being unable to provide for all, we have 
 endeavored to care for the most needy. To guard against impo- 
 sition, we have caused circulars of inquiry to be addressed to 
 postmasters, county officers, bankers, and other reputable citi- 
 zens whence the children came, and are happy to say that the 
 information thus obtained has established the most perfect good 
 faith on the part of applicants. This increase in the number of 
 inmates has necessarily entailed additional expenses, especially 
 for food, clothing, and general supplies ; besides, the quite gen- 
 eral rise in prices has increased the costs of all materials pur- 
 chased, rendering it very difficult to keep our expenditures with- 
 in our appropriations. 
 
 The average age of the inmates is eight and three-quarters 
 years, — the youngest being two years old, and the eldest thir- 
 teen and one-half years of age. 
 
Illinois /Soldiers' Orphans' Home. 13 
 
 Knowing that these children are practically thrown upon the 
 world to maintain themselves at the tender age of fourteen years, 
 we have thought their welfare would be best promoted by giving 
 them all the education possible while they remain in the institu- 
 tion, not only in the knowledge of the books, but in the practi- 
 cal duties of life. 
 
 \ 
 
 At our request, the State Superintendent of schools and the 
 County Superintendent of McLean county have visited and in- 
 spected our schools, and, upon their recommendation, we have, 
 in addition to the teachers heretofore in service, employed a 
 principal to have charge and supervision of the work; and we 
 are endeavoring to make our schools second to none of the 
 graded schools of tbe state, and to give the children a good com- 
 mon-school education, — no branches being taught save such as 
 are prescribed for the common schools of the country. 
 
 We have also caused the children to be divided into details 
 or sections for work, — the boys to work on the farm, in the gar- 
 den, and about the stables and grounds, and at such work as 
 may be appropriate for them about the buildings ; the girls to 
 work in the kitchen, the laundry, the dining-room, and about the 
 house, and in the sewing classes. 
 
 In this manner the boys are taught to plow, hoe, weed in 
 the garden, feed and curry the horses, sweep and dust the school 
 rooms, clean the grounds, and assist in the work about the main 
 building. 
 
 The girls are taught to cook, set the table, and wash dishes, 
 wash and iron clothes, and to sweep, dust, scrub, and make beds; 
 and, under the direction of an experienced instructress, they are 
 taught to sew, so they can make their own clothes. 
 
 The delicate and responsible duty of finding homes for these 
 orphan children when discharged from the institution, has been 
 performed to the best of our ability ; and, so far as possible, we 
 have aimed to place them with substantial farmers, rather than 
 send them into the towns or cities. 
 
14 
 
 Illinois Soldiers' Orphans' Home. 
 
 We estimate the value of all the property in the hands of 
 the trustees September 30, A. D. 1880, as follows: 
 
 Lands • $ 10,600.00 
 
 Main building and gas fixtures complete 125,000.00 
 
 School building .* 15,000.00 
 
 Boiler-house, kitchen, and laundry 6,000.00 
 
 Steam heating apparatus, complete 8,000.00 
 
 Barns, carpenter shop, and other improvements 3,750.00 
 
 Furniture in all departments, including beds and bedding 12,685.00 
 
 Library and school books 1,755.00 
 
 Horses, carriages, wagons, and farm implements 2,000.00 
 
 Dry goods and groceries, in store 6,000.00 
 
 Laundry machinery and fixtures 980.00 
 
 400 tons coal on hand 800.00 
 
 1200 gallons gasoline on hand 250.00 
 
 $192,820.00 
 
 We would respectfully request the following appropriations 
 for the support and maintainance of this institution for the next 
 
 two years; to- wit, — 
 
 Ordinary expenses $85,250.00 
 
 Improvements and repairs 3,000.00 
 
 Library (new books) 500.00 
 
 Hospital building 8,000.00 
 
 Addition to school building 3,500.00 
 
 New boiler-house 4,300.00 
 
 $104,550.00 
 
 The civilization of the age demands that the feeble-minded, 
 insane, deaf and dumb, and blind, shall be provided for at pub- 
 lic expense, instead of being driven forth, as in ancient times, to 
 “perish of hunger and cold, or to be devoured by wild beasts.” 
 It is believed that no thoughtful or humane citizen objects to 
 these benefactions in favor of such unfortunate beings as are by 
 nature deprived of their faculties so as to render them dependent 
 and helpless. 
 
 The obligations of the state to these unfortunate children, 
 who have been deprived of their natural protectors by the state 
 taking the life or the health of their fathers for the public 
 
Illinois Soldiers ’ Orphans ’ Home. 15 
 
 defense, thereby rendering them dependent orphans, would seem 
 to be even greater than to those rendered helpless by nature. 
 
 The state of Illinois has nobly responded to these claims 
 upon it, and we doubt not that it will fully maintain its honor in 
 this matter. Yery respectfully, 
 
 John I. Rinaker, 
 
 John C. Black, 
 
 Ira J. Bloomfield, 
 
 Normal, 111., Oct. 1, 1880. Trustees. 
 
 In this report we are asking for three special appropria- 
 tions, — 
 
 1. The experience of the past two years, with sore eyes, 
 measles, and other contagious diseases among so large a number 
 of children, has demonstrated the absolute necessity of a hospital 
 building, separate from the main building, where those so afflicted 
 may be prevented from mingling with the other children ; and, 
 besides, in the crowded condition of the institution, it is very 
 desirable that the hospital, with all its offensive odors, be re- 
 moved far enough from the sleeping apartments of the children 
 to prevent any infection. 
 
 2. The increase of inmates has overcrowded our schools, 
 so that part of the children can only be in school half of each 
 day; whereas we ought to be able to give these children all the 
 schooling we can, because, to the most of them, their departure 
 from the Home, at the age of fourteen, will mark the end of 
 their school days. Besides, the principal should have a room 
 where she can have an office, and examine classes, and, when 
 the school is crowded, teach part of the time. 
 
 3. The erection of a hospital building and an addition to the 
 school house would necessitate some increase of our heating ca- 
 pacity. And, when that is done, it seems very desirable, both 
 as a matter of convenience and of safety, that the large steam 
 
16 
 
 Illinois Soldiers' Orphans' Home. 
 
 boilers should be taken from under the kitchen and laundry; 
 for large numbers of the children are employed there, and an 
 explosion might produce such awful results that we should not 
 heedlessly so expose their lives. The present board are not 
 responsible for the creation of this danger, and do not want to 
 maintain it. Had the contractor and architect studiously aimed 
 at inconvenience and danger, it is difficult to conceive how they 
 could have exceeded the result. 
 
 The following Roster of all the inmates of the Soldiers’ 
 Orphans’ Home, up to January 1, 1881, shows the name of each 
 child, postoffice address, name of the county, condition of the 
 parents, and the company and regiment in which the father 
 served:

 This Roster is made up to the first day of January, as more 
 convenient ; although two or three children have since that been 
 discharged, and five or six admitted, making the total up to 
 January 25, in the Home, 344; and among the last admitted 
 there is one child only eleven months old. 
 
 We respectfully invite not only the regularly appointed com- 
 mittees, but all the members of the Legislature, to visit the 
 institution, and examine for yourselves ; and come, if you like, 
 unheralded. You can then see things in every-day dress, and 
 the usual routine of work and instruction pursued at the institu- 
 tion. 
 
 Respectfully submitted. John I. Rinaker, 
 
 John C. Black, 
 
 Ira J. Bloomfield, 
 
 Jan. 25, 1881. Trustees.
