The proceedingshaving been opened with prayer by
the Rev: Mr. Moore, •
The MAYOR said : —Ladies and Gentlemen, I know
I need not assure you that it gives me very great plea-

sure to take the chair to-day at this, the eleventh annual

meeting of the Soho-str.,,a Industrial Ragged Schools.
Allow me to congratulate you who are chiefly friends
and subscribers of these schools on their continued pros-

perity and usefulness.! So much. has been said on raged
schools and the principles upon which they are conducted
are so well understood and appreciated, that it is scarcely
possible to add anything new. As that is the case it may be
well for a moment to take a retrospective view of what
. .

has been effected by these schools ; and I think that if
we do, we shall find abundan4 cause for gratitude and

encouragement. I observe, by the report which will be
submitted to you by the honorary secretary, that during
the eleven years since_ these schools were established, no
less than 1,33'S boys and 622 girls—all of whom would
have. been left in 'ignorance, perhaps might have fallen
into crimet—la ye been educated in them. We have not

only given then a secular and a sonmi moral and reli-
gious education, but we 'have trained' them up to
trial purshitS, and have endeavoured to inculcate habits
of industry. -These schools had attained so, high a cha-
racter, that dtiring, the time they had been in: existence
no less than 584 children have obtained' situations. (Ap-
plause.) - These plain facts are, I am sure, sufficient to
prove to the public the good that has been done by them,
and' also sufficient to commend them to the support
and the sympathy of all. I recollect very well when
the plan for ,the formation of these schools was sub-
mitted to some excelinnt, well-disposed, and benevo-•
lent gentlemen in • this town, who thought we
should not. be able carry out our intentions;
but I am sure they are rejoiced at finding they were
mistaken, and at the success that has attended these
schools. I think the friends of ragged schools have
reason to congratulate themselves unOn the diminution
of juvenile crime•that has taken plan c during the last'
few years, and which, , I think, is in
.a great measure
-attributable to the operation of such schools as these.
As treasurer of these schools, perhaps I may alloWed
again to allude to the fact that the Government
grant has been reduced. this year from Ws. 4d.
to £li& 4s. 11d. • If, therefore, these schools are to be
carriedion in their present efaieney—if their operations
are to he extended, it will be necessary that thepshould
receive a considerable •increase of public support • For
the purpose of reducing the annual expenditursr it has
been proposed to have a bazzar during the summer, to
raise funds to enable the committee to purchase or to
build premises so as to save the rental at present paid ;
and I here if this proposal is-carried out, the public
will come forward and assist us in every way irk their
power. will not detain you further, but call upon the
honorary secretary to read the report. (Applause.)'.

of which the following is an abstract
