LOCAL MISSION
JESSE LEE HOME CHILDREN
HAVE DIVERSIFIED PERIODS
THROUGHOUT THE DAY
RISE AT SIX IN THE MORNING
Buildings Overcrowded At Present
Time Owing to Four Rooms.
There are now about 80 children
enrolled in the local Jesse Lee Home
class rooms but in addition there are
some twenty or thirty children not
of school age. Three more children
of school age will arrive in Seward
on the steamer Starr from t'he West.
. Due to the fact that rooms in the
Home buildings have been made over
into school rooms, the condition, even
at the present time, is overcrowded
and it is hoped that a Territorial
School will be established very soon.
Four teachers are employed on the
faculty staff teaching the primary
grades, from the first to the eigh;t
grades. R. V. B. Dunlap, superinten
dent of the institution, stated yester
day there were now three or four
pupils who will be ready for high
school next year.
The regular routine of the Jesse
Lee Home has never been published
before so, to give one an idea of
the excellent care and training the
many children are undergoing, it is
believed the following will be of con
siderable interest to Gateway read
ers:
The children arise at 6 a. m. every
day, and at 6:45 breakfast is served.
After a substantial breakfast the
children make their beds, sweep out,
wash the dishes, while others are de
tailed to the laundry, sewing room,
and some of the older boys to the
furnace room, carrying out ashes,
garbage, also taking care of the big
coal stove in the bakery.
At 8:45 all proceed to the chapel,
and at 9 o’clock they enter the class
rooms where studying is carried on
until the noon hour. At one o’clock
to 3:30 school is again in session;
from 3:30 to 5 o’clock, general work
is done about the building and yards,
until supper time which is over at
5:30. From 5:30 to 7:30 p. m., the
children have two hours to them
selves much of the time being spent
in the large gymnasium. Regular
schedules have been worked out for
the children of various ages in line
with their gymnastic activities. At
7:30 o’clock the smaller children
are hustled off to bed and the older
ones at 9, when lights go out.
• Every Thursday evening, between
the hours of 7 and 8 o’clock, a pray
er meeting is held to which the old
er children attend. On Sunday morn
ings Sunday -School classes meet from
9:30 to 10:30 o’clock. Regular church
services are held Sunday evtnings
from 7 to 8 o’clock.
With respect to the regular Sun
day services, Rev. Dunlap announces
he would be glad to have the local
public attend at any time they may
so feel inclined. They will be al
ways welcomed.
