Report emphasizes the importance of the Orphan Asylum in the lives of needy children, the financial and educational achievements of the facility, and their strongest needs, which include building projects and a light plant. The Treasurer's report includes information about the general fund and the building fund, and provides monthly tables detailing receipts and disbursements from December 1899 through November 1900. The Superintendent's report outlines the Asylum operation, instructional classes for younger students, and the various industrial departments such as cooking, sewing, and laundry for the girls and farming, printing, and woodworking for the boys to provide the children with marketable skills upon leaving the Orphanage. Tabular accounting information and more specific details about the facility follow the summaries. After the Superintendent's Report is a list of the children living in the Asylum, broken down by county.
