RAGGED SCHOOLS.

A few years ago, the words " Ragged SllOOO
strangely on our ears, but now they are familiar(
in sound, to almost every one. All have heard!' diesl
Schools, but all, alas ! do not take an interest Tool'
at least, not that interest which all right-mindedrtroce
must feel, did they consider the immense smear

of the kingdom by this simple and humble

these schools will do more towards stemmingd
increase of ignorance and crime in the land, al?tiogre

projected with the view of ameliorating- the 03'

tiler °iv Lest some of our readers may not altoge

stand wherein consists the difference between b
school and the ordinary charity schools, vre r
state that, to obtain admission into one of the, tatte.en.
payment of a penny or twopence per week 9gee of Ot'i

cency on the part of the parents; perfect cleatl, OP,

is right and praiseworthy ; the regulations are crelsss;
for one class of children, but, then, there is soote,

beau
condition of these poor children, Christian belle
first projected the plan of ragged schools.
During the last two or three years there ..tkijoyA
several ragged schools opened in Liverpool. Ta'eolj
as Mr. Dover's, in Naylor-street, is, probably, end sob,
most efficient ; and through the aid of the Flagg
Union many others have been established in varia-doOr
of the town. All these schools are open in the ea 07,
only ; some of them every night; others two as
nights in the week. For children who have anY, reetlii!
employment during the day, and who earn serilati°
fowards their own subsistence, these schools are '°-to
db
be very useful; but for those who have nothing.cho.7
and nothing that they can really depend upon, "f thc",
consequence of the death, neglect, or depravitY 0 bee
parents, are turned into the streets to find a living
,0r
they can, something more is needed. Boys and fe4
dering about all day without control, often scannnot
sometimes, alas ! without food at all, are by no Wnk()
fit state to submit to discipline, or receive intellecta ion
moral culture. Food they must have, and it is ifi'a „
s;tia
fix the attention of a starving child on anything
question where to obtain a supply; consequen`b
teachers labour under great disadvantages. To Illii,ht4
difficulty, industrial ragged schools were estnun'tfer
differing from the ordinary ones in three imp:OWN:O,
Lures-Ist, the children are required to go in the Tell 1,10
and remain all day ; 2nd, they are supplied with
but wholesome food ; 3rd, in addition to the 0r,4001
routine of religious and secular instruction, a Per'';oel
every day, except Sunday, is devoted to learnirC
useful employment and the acquirement of inu"-
habits.

A few months ago, we called the attention of cia,r;;io(
ders to this subject. It will be seen by our adrer",,
columns that the school then proposed has been eal,ots
at 68, Soho-street. We would not insult the go°"11 e reo
and good feeling of Liverpool by doubting of its
~erta
Independent of the high motives of benefittinz a hit",teo
neglected class, we must strongly urge upon our
...ireiad
the support of this institution upon both politicw bed
economical grounds. We believe it has been real-,rlol
by one of our judges that in very few instances.soll
criminals have been found to have commenced their,o,
course after they had attained the age of twenty',
The seeds of crime had been sown long beforeLbo
reached that age. Hence, he argued, if we coulti,ao
keep the youth of both sixes in the paths of
righteou'theo
until they have attained twenty-two years of age, tioo3,
would be comparatively but few criminal proseethdetil
What encouragement is there not here ? Intiee.dol
of the immense benefit conferred upon each indi%l gto
rescued from present destitution, an, immense savin'roo;
the community at large would be the result. coed
of this, we may instance Aberdeen. Industrial It'lll.l
Schools have been established there longer than Ina 0
other place. The governor of the Aberdeen Pri3°,,e;iila

27; 1848, 19"—and then expresses a hope "that
class of prisoners will ere long cease to be loun'iAde

" .Here, then, we have the number reduced, in the cv;el,
of six years, from 53 to 19, being nearly two-ta'.4,
And if any one deem it necessary to ask what has. L

the Industrial Schools of the town, and you wih L of

hundreds of children, who are there receiving a 0; for
religious, and industrial education; and who, be' for
religious,
these schools, would have been trained to be occur
of the prison cells and pests of society.' "
This speaks volumes. In pleading for these schro •
we are not advocating a new scheme of beneve`eo,
which may, or may not, succeed, but a well-tried Pl
which has been found to answer admirably elsewilo
The machinery is now erected for producing the e
happy result in Liverpool ; and the responsibility of Pra.l,
viding means to keep it at work, and enlarge its US
ness, rests with the inhabitants of this wealthy a
generally liberal town.
