Orphanages In Turkey.

There are 22 orphanages in the Turkish empire, copducted by Americans, enrolling 3,000 Inmates. In connection with these orphanages an industrial work has sprung up which gives employment to over 10,000 people in addition to the orphans. The work is largely done by the widows and orphans and Includes rug and lace making, various forms of embroidery, and other domestic work. The product of these Institutions finds a market abroad.
