Terms-Board and Clothing for four years. This boy has a very comfortable home and appears to appreciate it and is making good progress. He is of robust appearance, and is well supplied with clothing. Mrs Ledingham states there is marked improvement in him since he came there a little over a year ago. They do not appear to have taken to him at first, rather expecting too much of him, but he is now giving good satisfaction.
