every Sunday; and to read Prayers to them on every Wednesday, and Friday
Morning.—He is also to be responsible for, and to have a general
Superintendence of, the Education of the Children; to take care that they
duly and reverently attend Public Worship; to reprove them for any

guilty of; and, if they do not amend after admonition, he is to Report
their Behaviour in Writing to the Commandant. It will likewise be his
Duty to have a watchful Eye over the Moral and Religious Conduct of the
Officers, Assistants, and Servants, of the Institution; and likewise to
visit frequently, and at uncertain times, the Schools, Workshops,
Refectories and Dormitories; and particularly to Report to the
Commandant, if He hear any Oaths or indecent Expressions made use of by
the Children, or by the under Officers, or Servants, of the Institution.
In fine, He shall in every respect, to the best of his ability, endeavour
that the Children be carefully instructed in the Principles of Virtue and
Religion; and that a pious, sober, and orderly, conduct be observed by
every Person in the Asylum.

Commissioners; and to produce them fairly written in a Book, at the next
succeeding Meeting; as also, whenever called for by a Commissioner or by
the Commandant.
He shall keep an Alphabetical List of all Applications for the Admission
of Children into the Asylum, and likewise a Register of such as are
admitted; with their Names and Ages, Time of Admission, the Regiment to
which the Father of the Child belonged; and his Parochial Settlement,

is disposed of, on quitting the Asylum.
He shall likewise keep a Book, wherein shall be constantly recorded the
behaviour of each of the Children.
