The North Indiana M. E. Conference, held at Wabash, came to a close at the Monday afternoon session. At tue Saturday session Miss Sarah Bowmen, from the'school, spoke to the conference. - ■. . This school is at present under the Methodist Deaconess' direction and is capable of receiving only twenty girls. Twenty-five hundred has been raised for a new building and work will be commenced at once. The probable cost is about $3,500 and the capacity of the house will then be 70., With the increased capacity the home will be easily filled for many (applications are waiting. The girls are taken from any place and are simply girls in need of Christian teaching, who are below the sixth grade. A small tuition is asked, sl2 per month being the only expense. Some are, when very needy, admitted for less. It is the hope of the promoters to raise an endowment so that the organization can do a more complete benevolent work. The school deserves the support of all lovers of pure and noble womanhood.
