" " The Charlotte Pay JUnrsery, IMtt :;ona DaTldson street,,, 1 one. of the vity's meet Interesting-, e well M ft worthy institution Jo-one can fully r predate the work that Is nelns; done there unless he or ahe visits the bom and sees what to actually going on. The purpose of the nursery la to take care f lltUe children, during the day, while their mothers toll for a living. - One day last week an Obierver man, accompanied by Mrs. David S. Yates, went to the Charlotte Day Nursery and saw many things of interest to himself and the public. The nursery Is on the corner of " Fourteenth and Davidson streets, and It Is a large two-storied af fair of frame which was once used as boarding house. The building Is not -pretty to look upon but Is fairly com fortable. The managers of the Day - Nursery purchased It. At a ring of the bell, when Mrs. Tales and The Observer representative ar rived. Mrs. Raymer, the matron and the manager, of the home, came for ward and opened the door. It was Mrs. . Yates week on duty, and she was m wctd. The newspaper msn.was avls- -"Come in." said Mrs. Raymer, with a ' ' faint bit of the Northwest In her voice, "walk right In the office:" Mrs. Raymer la an Interesting per on. Her native home is Duluth, Minn. She ha an attractive face, and -a cheerful manner. She Is peculiarly - fitted for the work that she has In hand. 8he seems to see the bright side; her - disposition Is sweet and gentle. In other words she is a mother to one and all under her care. Soon after the re- - porter was ushered Into the reception ?!roomv or office, a child was heard - " whimpering in th hall. "'That's my baby." said Mrs. Raymer. as she rose and went out of the door. ' f Before she was well out of sight she returned, bearing a chubby-faced boy 7" about JO months old. ''Yes." she declared, "th's Is my little ',. , baby. He Is a sweet fellow." ,.. i "Is it your own cWlrf?" was asked. , ' "No. Indeed, one of the children that ,i is sent here to be cared for." - "What. Mrs. Raymer, do you do for v these little ones?" was asked. ' 1 "Well, we receive them here early In the morning, say about 6:30 o'clock. ' and keep them till 7 at night. The first thing we do for them Is to wash their ; faces, and put aprons on them. We ' give them breakfast and dinner and ' ' entertain them. The youngest one, my , charge, is but ten months and the old ', est, 12 years old." The newspaper man was Invited to - visit the various rooms. The first was ; the ''rest room," where the children i ' sleep. Sitting around In there were a number of cradles, or cribs, some of which were old-fashioned wooden roncerns, like those that little brats of '"So years ago were rocked in. " 'Some days in the summer," ex- - plained Mrs. Raymer. "all these little J- beds are full every one containing a ' child. And It Is a pleasant sight to see. ' ' too." J "This room." said Mrs. Raymer, as ' crossed the hall and opened the ' , second door to the left. "Is the mothers' meeting room, where the Saturday ' " meetings are held. We keep the funny X Idea how the little boys and girls en 1 Joy the funny papers, and, for a long r' time, we did not get but one, but now 1 - we have more. I used to call for such 1 things through the press and many " I kind friends came to .our aid. We - . " would like to have fresh funny sheets. See how these are worn from constant " v?i v use. After Inspecting the kitchen the earrv went Into the kindergarten room, where Mrs. Julia L.nBar had her class of tlnv tots at work. The klnder- garten has recently been started, and it Is proving a valuable feature of the dally programme. The children are taught system, order and obedience. They are given lessons In singing, cal- 1 Isthervlcs and discipline. - As the visitors entered the room Mrs. La Bar was getting her class ready for v devotional exercised. A dozen or more ' f .boys and girls were formed In a circle, -wUn heads thrown back and every pair sVoTj. of feet closfd at the toee, and shoulders braced and arm dropped yth side. At the beck of the - teacher the children Hosed thplr eyes s ' ' and began to repeat th morning pray- r. Every little mouth was at work. t After prayer several hour were sung, j ' and all Joined In with spirit, ir not ' Understanding. One little girl, a new- ' 5" prompted her. ,s The kindergarten will prove very bn , efluiel to those children, for It will be .' - I . .. l. .. . 1 , . .- .n . 1 .
