THE SHELTER FOR CoLORED ORPHANS
The Thirty-frst Annual Report Of this institu
ton is lust issued. The ''Shelter" for friend
less and orphan colored children was started
forty-four years ago. The reasons assigned
for not making any public statement of its
operations for thirteen years has an historical
interest. The report says:-"The association
in its early movements was scarcely cheered
with a hope of success. At the commencement,
and even long after, incredible as it may
appear, so strong was the aversion of some of
their white neighbors that it was difficult to
locate the Shelter. In the meantime it was
Justly feared to adopt any measure which
might bring the Shelter, for coJOred orphans,
before the public. This train of difficulties has
been gradually subsiding, and is now reviewed
in retrospect to vindicate that system of silence
which has cast veil of obscurity over years
of patient perseverance"
There are now "a children in the Shelter, of
whom Is are under four years of age; the
eldest is not over ten. These are all taken
from the lowest condition in life, where want
and dirt reign supreme.
In the list of officers and managers we do
not find the name of a single man. All its
affairs are managed by women.
The children are under good discipline, and
show more proficiency i'll the rudiments of
education, or in knowledge of scripture, than
can be found in any other institution.
An appeal is made by the Treasurer, Re-
becca Carter, No. 329 South Twelfth street,
for more funds, to meet increasing expenses.
The building has fine airy location in West
Philadelphia, near the terminus of the Market
street railroad, and is capable of accommodate
ing 200 children.
