The twenty first annual report of the Board
of Directors of Girard College for Orphans was
sent to Councils yesterday. The report states
that eighty orphans we're admitted during 1868,
and sixty seven have been indentured and dis
charged, making the present number in the
college 6l0. The pupils are divided into ten
sections, five OF which, composed of boys under
twelve years of age, are placed in charge OF
governesses, and five, compo, ed OF the older
boys, are under projects. There are sixteen
classes, and when new pupils are admitted to
the college they are assigned TO such classes rs
they are qualified TO enter. The working class
at the present time numbers thirty boys; they
are employ ed with the carpenter and gardener.
The Board state that, in consequence of the
increasing difficulty OF finding employers who
will take boys under indenture, the working
class has become too large tor our existing
facilities for manual labor, and 1t will soon be-
come necessary to enlarge them by Producing
greater variety OF tapdctatts; to carry out
this plan, large SUN OF money will be required
for shops, tools, materials, etcn The eXpendi-
lures during the past year amounted to $l35,-
64s'59, of which Sl09, ,927'5l was for household
eXDeuses.
