Orphanages are most effective when structured as small, home-like rural settings rather than large urban institutions.

Draft interpretation · MH 205.4

Original passage

Such institutions, to be most effective, should be modeled as closely as possible after the plan of a Christian home. Instead of large establishments, bringing great numbers together, let there be small institutions in different places. Instead of being in or near some town or large city, they should be in the country where land can be secured for cultivation and the children can be brought into contact with nature and can have the benefits of industrial training.
