Annual Meeting of the Board of Managers of the Educational Home

The annual meeting of the Board of Managers of the Educational Home, Forty-ninth street and Greenway avenue, which is the male department of the Lincoln Institute, was held yesterday morning at the Home. Bishop Whitaker presided, and he and Judge William N. Ashman made addresses. An interesting occurrence was the presentation by the pupils of a sword to Colonel Samuel I. Givin, the commanding officer of the Indian battalion. Speeches were made by Joseph Chubb, a Mohawk, and First Lieutenant Thomas Balmer, a Chippewa.

The Committee on Admission reported that thirty-two new pupils were received during the year; thirty-five returned home and two died of consumption; the total number now on the roll is 105. Of the pupils now in the home, two attend the Central High School, sixteen the Newton Grammar School, and five more are about to be admitted there.  Fifty-nine attend the home school.
