Description
This article from The Inquirer & Commercial News reports on a public meeting at Fremantle to hear about the new Protestant Orphanage in Perth. The purpose of the meeting was to encourage people to 'subscribe' or donate to the orphanage. The rules, operations and approach to child care was discussed at the meeting. The report suggests that people from Fremantle were keen to ensure that children in need in towns other than Perth would also be eligible for entry to the orphanage.
