Directors of the Poor. With tho closing of another year, we lay U fore your Honorable Court, the (irand Jury and the public, li e l",d report of the Directors of the Poor and the House of Employment of Som erset county, an institution most thoughtfully provided for by our fath ers, one in which all are interested, and of which all should 1 protiiL How well we have executed the trust and luHilled the onerous duties of the high and resjoiisib!e: jiosition, you twist judge. Tuoinucli praise cannot liegiventhe men, who, in the early history of our country, made provisions for tlie care of its poor and uufortuuate in life, and although at times, through' misman agement, the objects for which It was wisely intended, were abused and mis direeted, j et for a number of year it has been steadily Improving until at preseut it fully meets the requirements of the law and the expectation of the public, and has earned tlie distinction of beiug the best institution in the country. Charity, with all its phaws, must le acknowledged to l oue of the leading problems of the day, ami it would be arrogance on the part of any one to solve the question to the satisfaction of all. We are the creatures of circumstances and environment, our thoughts and lives aregoveried thereby. The per son who lives a life of ease and luxury can not know the actual siitleriug and distress of the poor, neither can such persons agree with the poor, as thebeft methods of ameliorating their condi tions; custom too often overrules the best judgment The world advances, and the wise of to-day will in time yield their opinions to others, who havegrown wiser in tlie light of the needs of the future. We have just happily terminated a war, at a great expense and the sacrifice of many 1 ves f ir the e'owu-'r widen Cubsns m l in amtlioratiig their condition and giviug buck to them the opportunities to regain their liberty and the right to sustain themselves and families. It was the philanthropic spirit iu the hearts of the American people that dared to e-all a halt to the Spaniards for their cruel and barbarous treatment to our fellow men. Webster deti ties charity as love, le nevolelice, good will; it is that dispo sition of heart w hich inclines men to think well of their fellow men, and to do them good. It is that liberality that give good gifts, and putting the lie st const ructiou oti the words and actions of their fellow man as will ad mit. It was this sentiment in tie hearts of the people that moved them to make provisions for the jxior, and ot sustaining those wio are giving me:r time to carry out the object and put Pom's for which this and kindred in stitutions were established and found ed. From the early history of the world down to the present, the case of the poor has been the great solicitude of the people. Societies of various kinds in all ages were formed, whose special care was to look after the poor. It was the divine injunction of the Christ, the Savior of the world, to His disc-iples to care for the poor, and lie fore the Christian Era, the Psalmist said "Blessed is the man that caret h for the iotr and needy," "The Lord will rememtier him in time of trouble." The provisions therefore that have lieen made in our county, for the care of the poor, and the law under which weae't, is divinely appointed, and is calculat ed to animate and encourage all in the arduous tnsk and "'.ies of looking after and carina for the deserving poor. The responsibility resting upon those who have the immediate supervision and care of poor is very great, while it is said "In faith and hope the wort J wilt disagree, but all m.-inkind's concern. Is charity." Yet harsh criticisms are often made and heard about ami of those whose dut'e-require them to act. This is an age of advancement and progress, and each year should find our methods fur caring for the poor much improved, and letter care provided without a ma'erial increase of expense. While we liehold with pride our charitable institution ai:d lioastofour humane and wise provisions of the laws of the Commonwealth we are mindful that it is as much our duty to devise ways and means for the preven. tion of pauperism as it is to care for tho poor. Within our own county pau perism is not on the Increase, neither is the demand for relief any greater than in previous years. By a thor ough system of Investigation by tlie Directors much of the outdoor relief has lieen abandoned with no distress or suffering from the suspension of if. It has lieen our observation thttor door relief educates more jieople for the Almshouse than it keeps away; it is neither economical or kindly, and in manv instances an imposition on the charltie8of the comty. Orro-tu-iitv, industry, and labor are tbesafeguards agaiust pauperism. Latior is the pa rent of all lasting wondersof the world. The sweat drop is the j"wel in the cor onet of toil. Labor constitutes the happiness of the poor. Labor drives awav their mis' inveterate enemies- ennui, ice and poverty. Often in the anministrstim or our duties, we found that pauperism wu!d be encouraged, bad we listened to the appeals made for relief, withoot inves tigation; it was simply a p'an to get relief without Iatior, . and the parties asking it in many instances able to work. With all the resivinsihiliti" resting upon us, we appreciate the fact thit the generous imblie approves all relief wise ly administered; keeping in mind these principles and acting for tlie best inter ests of both the county and the poor. we retievea vast improvement hns been msde in the managemeut of the I (nine. More comforts have been ad'b d, the irp'MN s better cared for, the Home is in lietter condition, w it ti no increase of expiree to tlie taxpayer than it ever wss retore. J-.verv vear we see a great er inl rest taken In the Home by the people of the county than before. We appreciate the visits to the Home and we have been greatly benefitted by suggestion and advioe given us by citizens during these visits. Hon. t adwallader Piddle, General Agent of the Board of Public Chari ties, and Dr. Henry Witherell, .Secrt tary of the Committee on Lunacy, on a recent visit to our Home, both un hesitatingly said: "The iumabs of the Somerset County Home had better rooms, more comforts, and se-med ss well cared for as those of any Home in the State, and far better thsn many. wi'h less expense." vve extend an invira ton to all to visit the Home and investigate for themselves. Criticisms are made by ix rsons w bo hear statements from vi eiotis and absconded paupers, whocould not lie satisfied w it li anvthmg. and wlro run away when required tn work, when upon inquiry they would find the sto ri base fabrications. No accident or epidemic of any kind wa visKeil on the Home during the year, for which all good citizens should lie thankful.

PkM have been adopted for the remodellnir of the wine of the main building during the coining year, which has been Heeded for years, and when so remtdeled will gl ?e more room and add greatly in every way to the convenience and comfort of the 1 lome. Deaths There were six deaths at the Home during the year, all of whom were old, bonie greatly alilicted. ami have been Buttering for years. Death comes to the poor as wedl ns to the rich; It is no respecter of persons, and "All seasons are thine, oh I)eath!" Children The children committed to the Home were, in roost cases, tilaced ia the care of the Children's Aid Soci ety, ho, with each other's help, have wiceeedeil ia placing many iu comfort able homes, and are regularly visited and looked after by the Society. Too much praise cau net lie given the work of the Aid Society. The idea and duty of both the Directors of the Toor and Children's Aid Society towards these children is not one of mere suport, but of preparation for life; for these children will be either the wage-earners of the next generation or paupers of the next generation. The care and educa tion of these will eventually and finally end by climbing the Almshouse steps or shall sit around their own Sresides as wage-earners and citizens, according as the care of them is wise oruuwise. We have seen already the fruits of the work of the Children's Aid Society. Like arks of refuge they stand with open arms to save helpless little ones from the flood of wretchedness and crime w hich threatens to engulf them. Through their efforts many a one's homeless child is breathing a new life in an atmosphere of affection; many a lonir-silent home rintrs with melody of childish voices; would that many more doore of fust-closed hearts swing open to receive Christ's little ones iu His Nsnie. Insane The last Legislature passed an Act of Assembly, approved 2-th day of May, 1MI7, providing when any county or municipality in tne com monwealth made provisions for the keeping, care and treatment of the in sane, that each county so doing should receive 1 otl per week for each one so kept, cared for and treated :it such hos pital froni the State; one year ago the matter was laid before the Grand Jury, which met their entire approval, but, anticipating that it would require the erection of a new buildirg, it was thons-ht Ust to postpone the matter until later. The Committee on Lunacy urged up on the Board of Directors to act and receive the benefit of the law and keep oor Chronic Insane at home. We made application to the Commit tee on Lunscv to keep our Chronic In sane, provided the building lately erect ed was sufficient for that purpose. Dr. Henry M.
