This Home was opened instree April. 1564. It was designed to
take in the little ones whose charact T and circumstances
disqualify them for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tendar
ate Precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are these
who, from neglect, are already on the road to ruin. Such are
those who have been deserted by their natural protectors and
left to beecome idle wanderers. Such are those whose
Parents may have at one time or other received parish relief,
arid who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
Darents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who
train their children in the same path. Such are thoscwhose
evil associations have already had their painful effect, and
raust lead them to a life of crime and miser.
The necessity for an Institution for theseylittle ones is evi-
dent from the police statistics, which show that in London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of
atfe, have been apprehended for various offences, 79 of whom
were convicted and punished, while the bulk, 232 were dis-
charged by the magistrates with a rebuke, as being too
'Young to punish. though not too young to learn the beginnings
of crime. On the other hand, there are numbers who, but
for the timely help afforded by such an Institution, must
otherwise become paupers, and losing all ideas of self-rell-
ance and self-help, be permanent burdens to the State.
flue Home for Little Boys has, therefore, been established
to rescue the little ones, to save them from the prison on the
one band, and the workhouse on the other, and to endeavour
to make them useful members of society.
The daty routine of the Institution 13resent9 ail the fea-
tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones
are cared for as children ; they have their regular meals,
th it suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement,
and theirsinr,ing Class. They are treated AR scholars ; every

noons are occupied with various industrial occupations: making brown paper bags for bankers, and white paper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any
who will buy them; picking the coil for the mats, mending
the is othes, &c. Some assist the master in the garden,
digging, planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By
degrees they are kin.* made useful in the house, scrubbing
and sweeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots,
knives, &c. In this way it is sought to fit them for an active
Working life.
There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of
age to 10. There is room for nearly 10`, and the Committee
would joyfully see the Home filled at once ; they only wait
for the necessary subscriptions.
The Committee feel constrained to plead for those who
cannot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir-
cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they
sak—ls it right to make a widow and her family paupers for

wild in the streets and is beyond her control ? Is it kind to

help her to put one of them into a Home, but that they must
