Buckner Orphans Home Aims for Modern Cottage System
The Buckner Orphans Home near Dallas Texas, founded 1879 by the late R C Buckner, cares for about 600 children. It plans to replace dormitory living with small cottages for about fifty children each and add ten cottages, doubling capacity in five years while expanding its farm and school facilities. The home remains non sectarian under the Baptist General Convention of Texas and emphasizes a real home environment with orderly routines and practical training.
