The Quiver Prize has long since become an annual institution in
several representative orphanages, and as our object is to encourage
honesty, industry, and general good conduct, it is awarded each
year to those inmates who have shown greatest progress in these
respects during the preceding twelve months. We publish a group of
the winners for 1898, who represent respectively the Orphan Working
School, the Reedham Orphanage, The Gordon Boys' Home, and the
National Refuges.
