HELEN MACMURCHY. ---- y Who Made an Inspection Last Month -- A Meeting of the Board Held on Friday Afternoon. At a meeting of the Board of the ome for the Aged on Friday after- noon, at which Mayor Richardson, {R. Meek, and City. Clerk Sands were present, the following appreciative report of the Home was received from Dr. Helen MagMurchy, Toronto, assistant inspector of Ontario penal and charitable institutions. "An official visit of inspection was pald to the House of Industry, Kingston, to-day, July 12th, 1916. "On approaching the house, the Srounda presented a pleasing sight. ne side is a large, grassy lawn, in the centre of which a summer house is placed, and four of the old ladies were sitting in the summer house on comfortable chairs, It was after- wards learned that this summer house used to be at the top of the hill, and it was hard for an old per- son to reach it. It has now been removed to a better position. It is 4 source of pleasure and interest to the inmates to sit there and see what is going 'on. "On the other side, a fine kitchen- garden, with some fruit, has been planted, and four of the men were working with the superintendent in the garden. "A careful inspection was made of the house. The hall, dormito- ries, dining-room, kitchen, sitting rooms, and all other parts of the house were found in good order, "The beds were clean, neat and tidy, but they would be made more comfortable if metal springs, of the kind specially made for Ontario in- stitutions at the Ontario Reforma- tory, could be procured, This is recommended to the attention of the Board of Management as one of the best things that could be done for the comfort of 'the inmates, Four or five springs were seen, but they are of the type in which heavy wood- en frames are used. Experience has shown Abat they are undesir- able, "The toilets and bath-rooms were found - in good order. A shower bath would be a great advantage, and is almost a nece y. "The ventilation is good, The heating is good, but not sufficient in some places, One or two large rooms were seen with only one fair. sized radiator. On enquiry, it was found that these rooms are cold in winter. "There were thirty-seven (37) in- mates: to-day; twenty-two men and fifteen women, -- Inmates Satisfied, "The inmates were seen in the house, in the grounds and when they assembled for an excellent and ap- pétizing dinner. All the inmates are comfortably clothed, and seemed contented. All but three were able to come dowa to dinner, In private conversation, more than one of the inmates expressed satisfaction and gratitude for the kind treatment recélved from the superintendent and matron. "Outside, an excellent store-house for roots has been built, and also a cement ashpit. Other improve- ments such as new roofs on buildings have been made out- Brock Btreet ---- Ni persons' eyes are exact- iy Sie Glasses that correct one person's vision will probably injure another's.
