To the Editor of the "Norra: Cuina Dairy News."
Sir,—You_ kindly issued in your columns in November an appeal for the above Home. May I ask you row to print the list of subscriptions I have received since that appeal, and the summary of the year's accounts which I append?
It will be seen from the accounts that the cost of the support and education of the 40 large and small girls in the Home comes to just over a dollar each per week. That cannot be considered extravagant, I think. Even in the country towns ike Chichow the cost of living is going up all the time. But I think your readers will realize that we sre doing our best to be economical, when I report that the cost for 45 girls throughout the six months preceding the great famine of 1920 was $3.80 each per month. The rise in cost per head, for a smaller number of girls, is, I think, very moderate in the circumstances.
May I add, with gratitude, that the recent subscriptions saw us safely through 1922, and, still not without confidence for the future, that we begin 1923 with $285.26 in hand?
New subscriptions will be most gratefully received.
I am, ete.
P. M. Soorr,
