Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and daily life of a unique institution: the Leake and Watts Orphan House, founded in New York City in 1831. The author, drawing from the institution's own annual report for 1918, provides a detailed and moving account of the Orphan House's activities. We learn about the methods used to receive and care for children, the emphasis on physical and mental development, the educational programs, and the importance of character formation. The book also highlights the institution's commitment to patriotic service during World War I, and the ways in which the children's lives were touched by the war's impact. A particular focus is placed on the institution's dedication to the physical and mental well-being of the children entrusted to its care, evident in the detailed descriptions of the educational and recreational programs, the emphasis on proper nutrition, and the vigilant monitoring of the children's health. This book reveals the significant role that orphanages played in providing care and education to vulnerable children during a period of great social change, offering readers a powerful portrait of both the challenges and the triumphs of this vital institution.
