Philanthropies The carrying on of the traditional work for the numerous philanthro- pies is a very interesting and deeply gratifying part of our school lives. The Farmington Lodge Society was organized by a small group of girls, in 1887, with Miss Porter's approval, and is maintained in her memory by former members of the school. The Lodge extends its hospi- tality to professional women of any age who may need a pleasant country place in which to recuperate from illness. The Ancients may recommend anyone who they feel needs the comforts the Lodge affords. The chairman of the school auxiliary committee this year is Elizabeth Barker. The Elizabeth V. Hale Memorial Kindergarten was founded by Mrs. Keep, Senior, who was deeply interested in the welfare of young children. About thirty years ago she started a kindergarten for the children of the school employees. Since then, many other children have been admitted. After her death, the Kindergarten was purchased and endowed in her memory by the girls who had been at school while she was principal. The auxiliary committee, of which Henrietta Gould is chairman, also provides knitted clothes and other handmade articles for needy children.
