Junior Order Home On the afternoon of February 13, the LEXHIPEP staff put away their work and hopped into their cars to journey to the Junior Order Home. Mr. Robert Bruton, the superintendent, met us at the door to take us on a tour of the campus. Since we were already in the main building, we went first to the classrooms where we saw the primary and grammar grades hard at work. The different grades are divided into morning and afternoon classes; therefore, this way the children attend school only one half a day, the re mainder giving an opportunity for work. Next we visited the shoe shop where we were amazed to find so many machines that make and repair shoes. Mr. Bruton showed us sandals, that many of the children wear that had been made in the shop. From the shoe shop we visited the printing house, where we watched the printing presses and linotype machines. Naturally we were interested in the different kinds of printing, so we lingered here for quite some time. After we left the printing shop, we went to the boys’ dormitory. The dorm is very attractive. As one enters the front door he steps into the recep tion room, a large room resembling a living room. It is very comfortably furnished, complete with television set. Each of the three dormitories has a television set. To the left of the living room is the dining room and a large kitchen. The boys sleep upstairs in rooms with double decker beds. There are from six to eight boys in each room. From the boys’ dorm we went to the smaller children’s dorm. This dorm was similar to the other except that everything was slightly smaller. The dining room and reception room were decorated with lovely little pictures, and the chairs and tables were smaller than average. Also, the children’s silverware was smaller. When we went upstairs we discovered that the chil dren were asleep. They would never have guessed that we had been there and even snapped pictures of them unless someone told them, for they were sound asleep. From the dorms we went to the barn and to the laundry. The Home takes pride in its livestock, and they certainly should. In the huge laundry they wash, clean and press all their clothes. We could have spent a whole day wandering in the building and over the lovely grounds of the Junior Order Home, where some three hundred children are finding loving hearts and friendly comradeship in a real home, but it was time to return to our own homes and we left, hoping to visit with Mr. Bruton and “The Home’’ again. 3. Sonic Supervision, Huh, Boys?
