He shall, every Three Months, deliver to the Adjutant, for the purpose of its being laid by the Commandant before the Board, an exact List of the Boys, divided into proper Classes of Reading, Writing, and other Employments; specifying each Boy’s Age, the time he has been in the Asylum, the Trade to which He is applying, and the progress he has made since his Admission. He is to have especial care that the Assistants do their Duty diligently in the Instruction of the Boys; and, at convenient times, he is to hear and examine the respective Classes under their care.
