what Shall be Done VII" Nhem
Since the yellow fever epidemic the
orphans who had no relatives or friends
to take charge Of them have been gath
cred into the different asylums. Since
that time numerous applications, both in
person and by letter, have reached the
Judge Of our Probate Court, asking that
some Of these orphans be appreniiced TO
the applicants, and pledging themselves
TO take care Of and educate them until
they become Of age. IL is the duty OF
the Probate Court TO take charge OF and
apprentice out all orphans without
relatives or means who reside in
the county. The court sees that
the applicant gives the necessary
bond providing for the proper mainten-
ance End schooling Of the orphan during
his or her apprenticeship. But the
orphan ass Iuns being corporations, and
having taken charge Of the orphans,
the Probate Court has no authority to
Interfere, and the applications for the
children were invariably refused by the
asylum authorities. One party residing
in the county offered to adopt one Of
The orphans and bring her up as his own
clild, aud in the distribution Of his large
est ate to make no distinction between
the adopted orphan and his own children.
This application was also refused. By
permitting the Probate Court to appren-
tice these orphans to responsible parties
our orphan asylums would be relieved
annually. and the orphans would be
brought up to trades by which in after
life they could make living and be-
come prosperous citizens.
