[LM_NET] Book title?

[Mary Ludwick <mludwick@IRVINGISD.NET>]

One of our staff members would like to find a book from his childhood.
His teacher read it to him in the late 60s, but he thinks the book was
well known by then, so its copyright was earlier.  Here is what he
remembers:
In the story a boy escapes from an orphanage, injures his leg while
climbing over a fence.  He is "laid up" for awhile as the leg heals, and
eventually lives with a farm family and everything works out.  The
family took him in and was very supportive.

Does anyone have a clue as to what the title might be?
