A Venture in 1777

Philadelphia in the country is the Church Home for Children. Here during half a century one thousand girls have been carefully educated for domestic service. At the age of sixteen these children are placed in families selected with care. Their future as to wages, usage and general surroundings becomes for years the object of thoughtful inquiry and kindly interest on the part of members of the Managing Board charged with this duty.
