Christopher G. Ruess, Chief Probation Officer of the County of Alameda, California, praises the work of C. Wilfred Bourne and Alice A. Bourne at the Golden Gate Orphanage. Ruess was pleasantly surprised by the good discipline and naturalness of life at the orphanage, and says that he is in the habit of recommending to the court that orphans get sent there when religion and temperament do not prevent it, and has not regretted this yet. He wishes that wealthy people knew of the good work the Bournes have been doing there.
