responsibility of bringing out orphan boys from Britain and training them in

suitable occupations.

A number has already been sent to several church training farms.

Moderator. i

The farm is on the main road between Murchison and Tatura.

Its house is one of the old-time station homesteads, and is very suitable for a training home.

It will accommodate 30 boys, who, if they wish, will have the opportunity of learning occupa- tions other than farming.
