Excerpt from By-Laws of the Orphan House of Charleston, South-Carolina The Orphan House of Charleston was founded in 1790. During the seventy-one years of its history, two thousand three hundred and forty- orphan and destitute children have been maintained and educated upon its bounty, and provision has been made for the useful employment of the two thousand and six who have left the institution during that period. The number of boys and girls now in the house is three hundred and thirty-four. In their care and education, twenty-throe officers, instructors and assistants are employed. Making the entire resident white population of the household, three hundred and fifty-seven. The government of the institution is committed to a Board of twelve Commissioners, elected annually by the City Council. The current expenses of the establishment are defrayed in part out of the public endowment fund of the institution, held by Trustees, and which amounts to 168,489 60. The excess of the expenditures over the income thus derived, is provided for by annual appropriations of the Municipal Council from the general treasury of the city. A private fund, amounting to 876,775 98, is placed by ordinance of the city, under the immediate 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 north of Calhoun street, is $420,000.
