Thts Home was opened in April, 1864. It was designed to
take in the little ones whose charact r and circumstances
disqualify the for the Orphan Asylums, and whose tender
Pe precludes their admission to the Refuges. Such are those
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,
and who are now friendless orphans. Such are those whose
Parents are breakers of the law, or are in prison, and who
train their children in the same path. Such are those whose
evil associations have already had their painful effect, and
Inuit lead them to a life of crime and misery.
There are now 50 little inmates from about four years of
age to 10. Thera 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 p'ead for those who
csnnot thus plead for themselves ; and, referring to the cir-
cumstances of some who have been already admitted, they
ask—is it right to make a widow and her family paupers for
lite because one of them (the naughty boy of the tam ly) runs
Wild in the streets and is beyond her control? Is it kind to
tell her, because she has so large a family, that you will not
h 1p her to put one of them into a Home. but that they must
all go into "the house ?" Is it doing the best we can for the
little destitute orphan to send him to the workhouse. Is it
doing to others as we would they should do unto us that when
these little ones have unnatural parents who turn them into
the streets, or force them by ill-treatment to "inn away,"
none of us shou'd be found to care for them, to speak a kindly
Word to them, to befriend them, to house and clothe th-m ?
Shall we leave them still on the doorstep, Passing by on the
other side, or else exclaiming "Am I my brother's
keeper ?"
The necessity for an Institution for these little ones is evi-
dent from the police statisrics, which show that in London
alone, in one year, no fewer than 311 boys under 10 years of
age, 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 thebeginnings
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-reli-
ance and selt-help, be permanent burdens to the State.
The daily routine of the Ins' itution presents all the fea-
tures of a home, a school, and a workshop. The little ones
,a,re cared for as children ; they have their regular meals,
Lo it suitable clothing, their hours of play and amusement,
and their singing class. They are treated as scholars ; every
morning is devoted .to school work—reading, and writing,
1
4ad cipherin e and Scriptural instruction. with occasional
"asons in ol jects and other subjects. But they are also
trained to work. As they must all, an ! that at a very early
Period in life, earn their living by the sweat of their brow,
they are here at once taught habits of industry. So the after-
noons,_ are occupied with various .industrial occupations—
rakin,,e• brown paper bags for bankers, and white gaper bags
for tradesmen, and door mats and servants' kneelers for any
Zell° will buy them ; picking the coil for the mats, mending
,!!'e c othes, &c. Some a.sist the master in the garden,
planting, watering, weeding, and so forth. By
ogrees they are being made useful in the house, scrubbing
knives,
iexeeping, while the elder ones clean all the boots,
ac. Id this way it is sought to fit them for an active
working Ilfe.
The mode of admission to the House is twofold,
lat. By election of the subscribers. roys thus admitted
ge received free, boarded, clothed, educated, and tiu,ght till
"7s: are 11 years o' age.
ith the view 10 s• cure the election of the most deserving
tZ,to, the Commitie have from the first discouraged canvas-
,ips, and they do not print any addresses of the subscribers.
e voting papers contain a description of each case, as care-
tili4iy investigated by the Committee, and with this inf orma-
lb_ the subscribers are able to judge fur themselves as to
",;le most eligible for free admission.

~,4111 children must be under 10 years of age at the time of
