ONLY ONE IN FIVE OF THE CHILDREN OF OUR
TROOPS IN INDIA LIVES TO BE FIVE YEARS OLD, so
fatal is the climate of the plains, in which for the most part the
barracks are situated. Those who grow up are marked by sickly
frames and impaired constitutions. The moral contamination
of the Indian barrack yards, especially to the DAUGHTERS of
the private soldier, produces yet sadder results.
To remedy these appalling evils, the late Sir Henry Lawrence
founded a School and Asylum for 700 Soldiers' Children at
Kussowlie, on the Himalayas, and a similar institution, of
smaller dimensions, at Mount Aboo.
These Schools are open to Children of the men of Queen's or
Company's European regiments who at any time have served in
India• without distinction.

lln each school the children are wholly maintained from the
age of three years till sixteen, and receive a solid, practical, and
religious education. Destitute orphans of soldiers are, in every
case, provided for in I:fe.
The expenses of the Lawrence Asylum at Kussowlie exceed
5.0001. a year ; the cost of the Aboo Si.huol is less in propo.tion.
The Government of India will henceforth contribute 2,00 W.
annually; leaving an income of 0,000/. a year to be supplied by
private subscription. The death of the munificent founder, and
the disasters which have befallen our countrymen in India,
necessitate an appeal to the gratitude and bounty of England.
The Committee have resolved to raise 24,0001. in the first
Instance, as a permanent endowment fund.
Amount already advertised, 2,3621. 3s. 4d.
Further contributions received or promised.
