PHILANTHROPIC FARM SCHOOL FOR THE
REFORSIATION OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS.

On Saturday the anniversary festival of this insti-
tutions was celebrated at the London Tavern, Bishopegate-
Meet. Sir John Pakington, Bart, M.P., presided, and was
supported by Mr. Beadles, M.P., Sir A. Rothschild, Bart.,
Mr. Freabfbeld, the High Sheriff of Surrey, Mr. R. M.
Milne*, M.P., Mr. Satinet Adams, Mr. Weguelin (chair-
man of the Rorie Company), M. Ducpetiaux, Inspector.
General of Prisons in Belgium, the Rev. Dr. Rice, Captain
Holland, die., numbering in all about 100 gentlemen.
It appeared from a report submitted to the company, that
since the 13'.h of April, 1849, the date at which the Farm
School was opened at Reekill, 65 boys had beta admitted,
and 46 placed out. Of the 65 admitted-16 wen orphans,
or utterly deserted ; 22 had lost sae of their parents; 6 had
dissolute or drunken parents. Of the sixty-five, the ma-
jori y had been frequently in prison : in the case of thirma
of them, however, the cause of their offences was their
utter destitution rather than their vicious r r
' nal icedination, their only convictions being for
beggirg or vagrancy, or some similar misdemeanor
esenuted with th•ir distressed Gad friendless sate.
The best and most improving boys of the whole numbar
have been those received from country districto, on the eppli-
Gallo, of the charitable associations now In union with the
Philanthropic, in Cheshire, Norfolk, Ac. These lads are
volunteers, selected with judicious care by the chaplain of
the prison. They eater the school with a sincere wish
to do better for themselves, and to retrieve their charac-
ter. Many of them, from their ruggedness and unsettled
habit., find the self-r*straint and the industrial exertion
required of them, hard ; but reason, kindn-re, and, in ex-
treme cases, the threat of expulsion from the school,
have succesued in controlling them, and in enlisting them
is earnest in the work of their moral and social recovery.
Ten very promising lads of the same clue have lately been
sent by Sir George Grey from the Westminster Btidewell.
They have all bees carefully chosen out from upwards of one
haedred lads in that prison, u (from their character or their
I cdreumesoces) deserving of en opportunity to break from
their former habits and associates. A few more, similarly
selected, from Cold Bath Fields Hoene of Correction, will
shortly be received. With reference to the boys placed
out since April, 1849, the committee felt st to be
desirable to transfer to the farm school on its first
opening, as few of the boys that had been and to the
employment sad discipline of tee Loudon school as
possible. A great many therefore of the younger boys in
the latter establishment were either apprenticed or returned
to their friends. Thus boys were necessarily but imper-
fectly reformed, and many of them have relapsed into their
former C unee, or are complained of as disorderly and trou-
blesome. The general want of employment, and the distress
and alarm caused by the cholera, have ne doubt greedy
coateibuted to this The masters of some of the boys have
been involved in diffieultM, and obliged to discontinue their
butane, end the parents of others have been unable to sup-
port them or watch over thorn. Of many of them, however.
a good report au be gives. The number that have left the
Logsdon school sines April 13, 1849, the date at which Use
farm school commenced, is 24 ; of these, one emigrated to
Amities, 12 were apprenticed to masters, seven were
placed with friends, one was returned to Millbaak prison,
two absconded, one was taken away by his mother.
Twenty-two lads have left the farraechool since the game
date: of these, eight have emigrated; two have been placed
la &hustling in Reglor.d ; one has been reemmiled to his
meter , tour have returned to their friends; seven have
absconded from the echoed. Of them lest, three left the
school immediately on being transferred to it; four
after some weeks' experience of its diseipline: twe
of these four have been aim transperted ; one hat
been sentenced to a long period of haprimaseot

Amongst the touts proposed was that of the " Army and
Navy," and Captain HOLLAND in returning thanks on

the benefits which had resulted from the institution. A sug-
gestion bad been made Whist that the Ragged Schools should
be connected with this establishmat, sad, in his opinion,
such a connexion would be advantageous to both inatitu•
tines.

of
vice which existed in the country, and c onsidering
Low deficient was our education and religious in-
'limbo° there could be no subject: more fitting the
deep and anxious attention of the public sad of the
iszeielg:tare than the reformation of juvenile offenders. The
of this institution WU to divert polluted streams into

creatures who had been led astray, either through misfor-
tune or evil communications. Such an object was certainly

cams should not lead them to the adoption of any general
system which might hare the effect of wilding out &premium

with great enthusiasms,

Mr. &great ADAMS propmed the health of Dnepr-
abd the foreign institutions for the reformaties of
jumenile offenden,' and in doing so took occasion to express
an opinion highly favourable to the institution. There could
be no doubt that the surest way of reforming juvenile
offenders was not to enclose the within f.ur walls, but to
teach them the value of industrial libbits, by allowing them
bo reap the fruits of them.
