GOVERNMENT ORPHANAGES.
Wo are asked to correct a wrong impression likely to be gathered from a telegram in Monday's issuo reporting certain remarks by Mr. W. J. Treadwell, chairman of the Wansranui Orphanage Committee. Mr. Treadwell was reported to liava contrasted private with Government orphanages to tho detriment of the latter, whereas tho Government institutions ho referred to were not orphanages, but those of the reforiliatorv t'-pe, and he said that, in after life, children from reformatories often turned out undesirables, not as he was reported as saying—criminals. So far from reflecting on Government orphanages, Mr. Treadwell did not mention them. Ho remarked further that ho hoped tho day was far distant when Wanganui would lose its orphanage, and have to send its orphan children to reformatories to be brought up.
