fifty-six boys and thirty girls. The children are
instructed in the principles of the Christian religion, and
in Psalmody; they constantly attend Divine Service at
Church on week days, as well as Sundays, and the greatest
attention is paid to their morals.

arithmetic, and needle-work. They are all annually
cloathed, supplied with fuel, furnished with books, paper,
