Mr. R. 1!. Bab- on the need North Carolina has for on orthopedic hospital for crippled, deformed or diseased orphans of sound mind. Asked for some further inlorma tion retarding this proposed institu tion Mr. Babington informed The Gazette that a tentative (barter is now being drafted and will, within a few days, after having been submit ted to the gentlemen who are to f-tand sponsor for the institution as incorporators, be sent to Kaieigh for the sanction of Secretary of State Crimes. In answer to the query as 4o how lin became interested in this matter and why he was so enthusiastic coc cerning it. Mr. Babington said: "About four years ago. while read ing an orphanage paper published In North Carolina, I was struck xxitti horror and surprise to see the appli cation of three worthy children re fused by the management of the In vtitutlon. It was no reflection on the institution. Pad to say, it was proper to refuse to accept them, tie cause our present well-eeiutpped or phanages all over North Carolina are only prepared to receive the child of sound bodv Tlw r"Hr,riMnTis were from poor, dependent, needy, widowed mothers who were sick and unable to support the family. One mother had a crippled, deformed boy with :i bticht mind, in e.irs old. Another mother annlied for a bright girl of seven years, who had n Rlighf ear and catarrh affliction The third was a fine bright boy. si years old. who had tuberculosis of the snine. ' Thev were all refused admittance and correctly so, because diseased children should not be placed in orphanages with our well children. "Do you know, there is not an or phanage In North Carolina to-day that can care for the above children. A slight hn'iital operation would have cured and relieved two of those children The third one could have been wonderfully benefited anil per haps cured, or at least helned ricl relieved, if we had had a nlace to take them in. For about four years thisi much-needed institution has been a burden on my heart.
