A late 1820s Philadelphia reminiscence discusses infant schools and orphan asylums, urging careful support for enduring charity. It recalls London’s Spitalfields nursery system, child happiness through play, and strict adherence to commitments to subscribers amid modest local funding. It notes two Philadelphia sites and the broader aim of moral education for the poor.
