    Order No. 11. SITTING-ROOMS. For the greater convenience of the house and the O comfort of attendants and employes, certain rooms are to be used for the evening gathering of attendants, seamstresses, and employes generally, and thus all excuse be removed for reading, writing, or sewing in children’s sleeping-rooms, which is hereafter prohibited except in extreme cases and by permission of the Superintendent. The House Rules on Order, Cleanliness, and Con- sumption of Light are to be scrupulously observed in the sitting-rooms, as elsewhere. February 14, 1865. Order No. 12. CARE OF GROUNDS, SHRUBBERY, ETC. All employes will exercise such care over the chil- dren as to prevent the destruction of out-buildings, fences, arbors, wood seats, etc., and injury to trees, shrubbery, grass, flowers, etc. Young forest trees, chestnut shoots, etc., must not be cut or broken, as upon these we depend for future shade. Endeavor to cultivate among our children a love and admiration for leaves and flowers, and they will learn their use and discontinue habits of destruction. Re- member that bv attention to this order you are per- petuating our own blessing of forest and wild flowers, and transmitting a goodlv heritage to the attendants and children of the years to come. 3*
