The British Musical Biography

[E] Kenway, Helen, a teacher of music afc
Bath, desirous of extending the means of aid-
ing musicians disabled by ill-health, or other
causes, and to provide a school for orphan
girls, has devoted herself entirely to the
realisation of these benevolent objects. Be-
ginning, about 1877, by taking one girl into
her sister's school at Bath, she gradually
extended her operations ; and in 1883 took a
house in London. Since 1894 the Orphan
School has been located at 16, Norland Square,
Notting Hill, and there Miss Kenway gives
her time and means entirely to this institution,
the only one of its kind connected with the
musical profession, and dependent upon the
voluntary pecuniary aid of those interested
in her philanthropic work.
