thy OF being initiated in every country.
All boys found in the streets asking aims.

purpose. As soon as they enter the door
and before having been cleaned or their
dirty clothes removed, portrait of eacl.
one is taken. representing him in the same
:orm as when found begging. When the
portrait is finished, he is cleaned. and pre,

After going through regular course of
education, appointed by the directors OF
the asylum. they are put to learn trade.
at which they work until they have earned
enough to liquidaie all their expenses from
the first day they entered the institution.
When this is completed they are dismiss
ed from the institution TO gain their own
livelihood. A, the same time The portal.
taken when they first entered, is pre-.
scented to them; which they swear thew
will preserve as long as they live, in or
