1/1114 CHILD APPRENTICES In America From Christ's Hospital, London, 1617-1778 Peter W. Coldham Christ's Hospital (not a hospital in the contemporary sense) was established in 1553 for the benefit of orphaned children or those made homeless by impecunious parents. If they were legitimate children of free men of the City of London, over 4 years of age and free from obvious infirmity, they were to be educated and prepared for entrance to a university or apprenticeship to a trade. As early as 1617 large numbers of scholars took "articles and left England to serve apprenticeships in America. Beginning with these children apprenticed to the Va. Company in 1617, about 1,000 Christ's Hospital students left England to take up such apprentices." $23.50
