 The Orphan House of Churleston was founded in 171)0. 
 
 iMring the seventy-one years of its history, two thousand 
 three liundred and forty orphan and destitute children have 
 heen maintained and educated upon its bounty, and provision 
 lias been made for the useful empioA'Juent of the two thousand 
 and six who have left the institution durint;; that period. 
 
 The nunil)or of boys and girls now in the house is three 
 hundred ami thirty-four. In their care and education, twenty- 
 throe officei's. instructors and assistants are emploj-od. Makin<;- 
 the entire resident white pojiulation of the household, three 
 hundred and lifty-seven. 
 
 The government of the institution is comniitlod to a Board 
 of twelve Commissioners, elected annually by the City Council. 
 
 The current expenses of the establishment ai'c defrayed in 
 jiart out of the public endowment fund of the institution, held 
 by Trustees, and which amounts to §108,489 6'J. The excess 
 of the expenditures over the income thus derived, is provided 
 for by annual appropriations of the Municipal Council from the 
 general ti-easury of the city. A private fund, amounting to 
 ^76,775 98.- is placed by ordinance of the city, under the imme- 
 diate control of the Board of Commissioners. The income of 
 this fund is appropriated by the said Board to the personal 
 comfort and advancement of the children, and to the benefit of 
 other members of the household. 
 
 The appraised value of the real estate of the Institution, 
 embracing the buildings and grounds nortli of Calhoun street, 
 is ^420,000. 
 
 Since 1854, extensive additions and improvements have been 
 made, which involved changes in the economy of the Institu- 
 
8 
 
 tion, ami rendereil the written regulations previousl}' adopted^ 
 in many respects, inapplicable and insufficient. 
 
 To remedy this, the following codification of the Municipal 
 and State laws ajjpertaining to the present organization of the 
 Institution, and of the standing rules of the house, now of force, 
 has been prepared and adopted by the Board of Commissioners, 
 and approved by the City Council.
