CLAR3•YARSBT RAGGED SCHOOLS AND

REIPUGIL

The annual meeting in support of the above insti-
tution, held yesterday, noder the presidency of Lord STILET•
TORD DE itsticurra, at the Vestry-house, St. Clement Danes,
was invested with more than ordinary interest, from the
insight it afforded into the working of the ragged school
system, as probably the most crowded and poverty-stricken
district of the metropolis. The committee speak in terms
of satisfaction of the conduct and application of the chil-
dren taken from the streets, who have voluntarily subjected
themselves to the discipline of a school as an earnest of their
ambition to tread the high road to respectability.
The mechanism by which the committee shape their
rough and ready material into objects of utility if not of
ornament to society a?pears to have been devised by sound
good sense, and has met with deserved succeas. A refuge in
the vicinity of the school (Tichbourue-court, Whetstone-
park) offers—or rather did offer—to the actually homeless
and destitute • hospitable hammock and • modicum of
food ; while for those who had a local habitation of their
own the committee appear to have added a series of attrae-
tive accessories to the bumble means provided in the schools
for elementary learning. With • due regard to the maxim
which ranks persuasion above force, the youthful Arab
finds himself, es soon as be has made mastery over the ele-
ments iu his hornbook, on the free list of a miniature
"Mudie's," enriched, by the way. during the last year, by a
munificient donation from Mr. H. W. Smith, of railway
stall celebrity ; and as soon as be becomes alive to
the close connexion insisted on between cleanliness and
godliness, the sum of one halfpenny proves a "sesame" to the
aquatic glories of the Endell-street Swimming Bath. His
clothing he eau, when his means admit of it, acquire from •
store—which the committee hints at as rather low—at a
price only more than nominal, to prevent • temptation to
resell it ; and as if to help him to • practical acquaintance
with the principles of our monetary system, • penny bank
I is open at stated times, in which the theories of " Poor
Richard" are daily receiving practical illustration. Should
his attendance become regular and his conduct good,
be obtains a recommendation to the committee of
the Ragged School Shoeblack Society, and becomes (still
however continuing his nightly attendee°, at the school)
I enrolled in the brigade (Red). Should his conduct continue
good he may be sure that within& coniparatively short period
he will have the offer of a good situation ; or, should his
inomad spirit have retained its bent, of assistance to emigrate
to some of our colonies. One very gratifying circumstance
connected with the school is the celebration onee of
' what in establishments of more pretens would be
" Founder's Day." On the last, without one preliminary
note of warning, no less than one hundred of those whom
the rode exigencies of life bad compelled to break off
their attendance at the school, assembled in the schoolroom
lat Bear-yard to keep what they term "the meeting of old
I scholars," the origin of which, we bear, is attributable to
I Miss Twining, a lady whose philanthropy is always of a
practical turn.
