Viet children, when they kft the school,
object of importance by the Governors
He feared it was too often neglected
were leftientirely to themselves when t
dial schools. Li Sunday schools they often es,
tamed sitaaltions for the children, either in their evt,„
businesses or among their acquaintance. When tht",
km a steady attentive boy they generally reee‘
onesded him to some situation where he was likely y
be well attended to and prosper. Many of them hie
succeeded remarkably well, and become teach
themselves.; and many of them, from the lowest state
of society had become respectable characters ail
filled usefdl situations, if not very high ones. It yea ,
of the highest importance to contrey moral instructs e
while communicating knowledge to the children, to
knowledge, Unaccompanied by virtue, very te,
quently only capacitated for increasing mischief q)
Society. No one, who had been accustomed to vita.,
the Scotch and Irish at their own habitations,
have failed to observe a marked and decided distino:
tion between them. The Scotch were constano
taught when young to read their Bible, and acein...
tomed to moral and religious instruction. FromhK
knowledge of the trading world, and of the chilore
of the poor, he thought a more ettensive plan ofoe.
cation would be one of the greatest public beerke.
He had no doubt that it would lessen public criami
for the most guilty criminal characters were cosh
monly the most ignorant; in fact they could not get
them to stay in their schools ; they had sonotonti
gathered them from the highways, and brought then
into their schools, but they could never keep them
long together. In Wales, owing to the general et,
tablishment of Sunday Schools there, in one or two
of the counties the prison doors had been Linn
open, and he attributed it to education, because
nearly every individual throughout those counties
attended the schools. The maid servants from the I
country were in general very much preferred to Loie
don servants, being in general decidedly of a better
moral character, which he thought partly arose bun
having a better education.
Mr. THOMAS DAVIS, a distiller. in Oldotreet, St.
Luke's, stated that he was acquainted with the Po
, rochial School of St. Luke's, which was established
in 1698. There was another founded in 1761, W
addition to it, partly supported from funded pro pan
and annual subscriptions. It had sow 46300 in tl4
t S per cent. consols, and the yearly income of the no
rage of the last three years, was £752 per alma.
The expenses for the same period had been as mu
seloo as possible--one hundred boys and eighty.fire
j girls were now educated—within these four years
sixty-five children had been added to the number.—
They had only one master, who taught on the old
plan generally. The children were clothed, but act
boarded nor lodged. The schoolmaster's salary was
100 guineas a year, a house, and two chaldron and
a half of coals. One guinea per annum was paid to
4he.mistress for the instruction.of each of the eighty.
five girls. The Mistress had also the privilege of
letting children work for the persons who wanted
needle-work and such kind of things done. The es-
pence of clothing per child was nearly XS. 181. prr
annum. The Trustees of the charity were chorea
by the general body of subscribers. On receiving a
Report by the Schoolmaster of Newgate respecting
their school, he,considered it his duty as Treasurer to
go to Newgate, and to make the best enqu'ry ht
able as to the materials upcn which the Report was
founded. He asked the master, Mr. Godinge, .how
he came to suffer such a Report to gn abroad, 'hat
in the Parochial School of St. Luke's they had five
hundred thieves; • he informed him that the only
foundation he had for so framing the Report w.ir
from the information be had obtained from a boy
young man there, of the name of Filby White, who
was three or four years previous to that educated its
the Parochial School—he went to Newgate a second
time, but he could gala no further information horn
Godinge. His Report appeared to be exceedingly
unfounded, for he could not, on examining the Re-
ports of the convicted persons, find one other person
who had been educated at the school but this Filby
White. He was fearful that such Report might have
injured the interest of the Charity very much, for in
St. Luke's parish, independent of the Paroclio
School, children to the amount of 1227 were edu-
cated by charitable persons, at different schools and
charities. They had a gift called Worrel's Chario,
which was an endowment of forty children—Fisher s
Charity to clothe and educate twenty—he was Tre: •
surer of that also, and there were children educat, d
in the Workhouse to the number he believed of abn•
forty ; there was another charity called FinslArry
School, educating about fifty-two boys and girls;
the Lancasterian School in the City Road for five
hundred boys; Walbrook School for fifty boys and
thirty girls ; the Orphan Working School ninety
children; the Catholic School 160 boys and s;xiy
girls—making a total of 1227 children. He had no
doubt that there were a great many bad disposed out
of so great a number; but it the, same time he found
himself hurt as Treasurer, that all the odium of so
many children should be placed to the discredit of
185 poor children. The master, who was of fifteen
years standing, never knew but one child being
discarded the school for theft : his name was Payne.
