==Free, Black Town and Civil Orphan Asylums==
*This Google Books [http://books.google.com/books?id=AbYBAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA224 link], published 1855, refers page 224 to the Black Town Orphan Asylums and says a Free Day School for Boys was established in 1807, which in turn led to the establishment of a Female Asylum in 1815, and a Male Asylum in 1823.*The Annual report of the Madras Free Schools dated January 1, 1815 stated that the Female Free Orphan Asylum was due to open in April [1815]. The Male Free School had completed its eighth year, and the Female Free School its fifth. Page 178 [http://books.google.com/books?id=ALyzw0pTNmsC&pg=PA178 Google Books]
