NORMAL SCHOOL AND REFUGE FOR DESTI-
TUTE CHILDREN, IN SCIIIERS, CANTON DE
GRISONS, SWITZERLAND.
IN the deep retirement of the sequestered Valley of Schiers,
amid the high and rocky mountains of the Alpine regions
of the Grisons, where the glad sound of Gospel truth had
been but faintly heard, and where even very little progress
had ever been made in the common arts of civilized life,—
there has arisen, within the lest four years, an Institution,
which promises not only to secure to this isolated, this
almost unknown people, the rich blessings of which they
have been so long deprived, but also to make them the ho-
noured instruments of imparting these blessings I. the
neighbouring cantons.
'1 he objects of this institution are—
I.—To provide a refuge for Orphan Children, where they
are wholly maintained ; where they are trained in the nurture 1
and admonition of the Lord, and instructed in all things that •
will prepare them to become useful members of society.
lI.—To educate young men of promising talenis and of '
amiable dispositions, and to fit them for the office of school-
masters.
It will easily be seen how important this last object may
prove in its results, to an unenlightened population. Until
nearly a generation has succeeded to the present, the school-
master must be the soleteacher, he must impart that instruc-
tion to the children, which they could not receive from their ,
ignorant and too often ungodly parents; but, with the effi-
cient aid of the Society which is now in operation, may we
not look forward in happy anticipation to the time when, by
means of these well-trained little ones, " the good seed,"—
" the word of the kingdom," will be widely scattered, and
the now barren wilderness will rejoice and blossom as the
rose ?
Although yearly accounts have been published in the Ger-
man
and French languages of the progress of the Institution,
no English report has yet been submitted to the kind friends
who have so liberally contributed to their support.
In the year 1837, the Committee were much encouraged
to enter upon the work they had at heart, by the lively in-
terest that many persons in the surrounding neighbourhood
had taken in it, and the aid they ptoffered to it ; but these,
their first benefactors, have now either become luewarm, or
are unable any longer to contribute to the funds. Thus,
their hopes seem blighted, their hands hang down ; and
although they pray to be enabled to trust Him first, whose
is the silver and the gold, they feel again compelled to appeal
to the kind sympathy of their English friends, who love their
nation and the cause in which they are engaged,—who are
fellow-workers with Him, who "will have all men to be
saved."
When the Normal School was first opened, a very small
dwelling was engaged, in which thirteen young men were ad-
mitted under one teacher; but, encouraged by many dona-
tions, and urged to exertion by the number of children who
sought admission, the foundation of a spacious building was
laid in the course of the following year, and on the Ist of
October, 1839, it was completed and consecrated to the
Lord, with much prayer for his abundant blessing, and the
outpouring of his Spirit on those who desired to labour only
for his glory and for the salvation of precious immortal souls;
—in the hearing of assembled multitudes, under the canopy
of heaven, was the God of heaven invoked !
Soon did it please Him, who delights in mercy, to cause
some good fruit to spring up. Four young men, zealous
workers, and earnest to gather into the happy fold the seat-
tered lambs of the Lard's flock, were prepared for and sent
out as teachers. At this time the two first orphan children
were admitted ; more could not be, for the building was not
yet paid for, furniture was not provided. nor could food and
clothing be found for an increased number of inmates; yet
the Lord soon gave us to know that He had not forsaken us,
nor had forgotton His promise to supply the want of those
who trust in His mercy,—one and another came forward to
help in this our time of need, and " did what they could,"
—some who were themselves far from wealthy, brought po-
tatoes, peas, apples, Dour, and other provisions,—others
spun and knit, and made up clothes and bedding,—lastly,
and moat unexpectedly, a number of young men applied for
admission into the Normal School from almost all parts of
Switzerland, desiring to become teachers, and to be instructed
in other useful arts ; these students engaged to pay 24 fr.
(£1) per month for board and education, which was a great
help to the Institution, and their number amounted in the
course of last autumn to fifty-seven.
Under these circumstances the Committee found it neces-
sary to appoint proper persons to preside over the establish-
ment. A minister and his wife undertook the general ma-
nagement, three teachers were set over the students, and
three household servants were engaged, snaking a total, with
thirteen children, of seventy-eight individuals under the
roof.
The amount of last year's expenses was 9000 gulden (630)
for the maintenance of the household.
A debt remains of 2862f1. (..C197) for the building, which
is an enormous sum for this very poor country.
The support of the Institution depends almost entirely
upon the payments of the elder students and the free-will
offerings of Christian friends, for little is contributed by the
poor children,—a few supply their food, others give a mere
trifle towards their maintenance, the greater number are
received without payment.
There are yet two most desirable and important objects to
be attained, to promote the efficiency of the institution ;—the
first is the possession of a piece of ground, by the cultiva-
tion of which, both students and children might be instructed
in the art of agriculture,—a knowledge much needed in this
country.
The second object is the free maintenance and education
of schoolmasters.
The profession is considered so little respectable in Swit-
zerland, and the salary. of teachers is so contemptible; that
none but the poor and mean will follow the calling ;—how
important then does it appear to be, to encourage young
men of promising talents, however poor, and to afford them
such instruction as will constitute them able schoolmasters,
and thus raise the tone of feeling towards this roost useful
class of the community. And may it not be said in conclu-
sion, how desirable, how truly gratifying, would it be to
every member of the Committee, to every kind heart who
feels for the neglected friendless orphan, freely to be able to
extend to them the hand of charity—no longer to be com-
pelled to consider which amongst them can contribute
some-
thing to the funds of the Refuge, and thereby of
necessity
to reject the most abject, those who have the strongest claims
upon our sympathy ?

GENTLEMEN,
A Dissolution of Parliament being evidently at hand, I beg
most respectfully to announce that the pledge given by
me to afford you, at this EVENTFUL CRISIS, an opportunity
of recording your votes, I am now ready to redeesa.
The present Government—no longer an independent C4*-
vernment—too weak to administer the affairs of this country.
and too tenacious of the advantages of office to relinquish
them, has succumbed to popular clamour and proposed
total change in our just and admirable system of CORN-
LAWS—a measure which, if carried, would not only de-
prive the English landowner and farmer of their property ail
the English labourer of his means of subsistence, but the
manufacturer of his best and most certain market, thereby
proving ultimately as injurious to the one interest es isme.
diately destructive to the other.

A Government thus composed, and so regardless of the

our confidence.

Having on a former occasion issued an address, / will only
