The institution was organized for the reception and training of desti-
tute colored children between the ages of 2 and 10 years. Judges and:
other competent authorities, in the counties of the State, are em-
powered to commit to this Institution such destitute colored chil-
dren, of the prescribed age, as may seem proper to them. Only, it
does not feel bound to receive from the counties more children than
the appropriation from the State Justifies. The children thus com-
mitted from the counties are directly under the supervision of the
board, and, at the proper time, after careful investigation, are
secured homes in private families, until they become of age, thus
making room in the institution for new comers from the counties.
Any communication for Information should be addressed to Mr.
George B. Murphy, Secretary, 1404 Argyle Avenue, or to the Presi-
