Excerpt from The Press Album: Published in Aid of the Journalists' Orphan Fund

Every penny contributed to the Fund, from its beginning seventeen years ago, has been devoted to the keep and education of the orphans; the parent Institute meeting the whole cost of management and distribution.

Avoiding any expenditure on bricks and mortar, the principle laid down was that of saving the child to its home and its home to the child. Wherever a good mother was left - happily a usual experience the object sought was to help to maintain the influence and benefits of her unceasing care by keeping the family together.

Children of the Fund have lived and grown up in every district of the United Kingdom - the far north of Scotland and throughout Ireland - also in far-off lands of Greater Britain. Two little girls, who lost their father amidst the privations of a famous siege, were until very lately in a Colonial school Wherever boys or girls happened to be they were under a double watchfulness - the general committee keeping in regular communication with each one, and the district members adding a personal oversight.
