FAMILY MUSEUMS.

| As the product of the work of one day, by
one school in New York, we can state that more
than three hundred "Family Museums" were
commenced. Several disorderly boys in school,
much inclined to be mutinous, were requested
one morning to take an excursion for collecting
minerals to be distributed among the pupils Of
the three departments-girl boys, and prima-
ries. The boys most gladly acceded to the pro-
posal, and had ready, at the close of the school,
the same day, set of labelled specimens of
minerals for every pupil, from the largest to
the smallest, numbering in all about five hun
bred. These few minerals, showing the ele-
ments of mountains, rocks, and soils, soon lead
to other specimens, both of nature and art,
making cabinet of curiosities in any family
connected with that school,
These pupils, in making collections for them
selves, prepared specimens for others, which
they sent to other schools in and out of the
city In return for collection sent to the
schools of Syracuse, New York, they received
the following letter from some girls in that
place:
DEAR FRIENDS We hail you as sisters. We
are glad correspondence is now opened be-
tween us, and we haste to acknowledge the re-
ception of the box of minerals. In return, we
send you a collection of plants, gathered in the
vicinity of our village. We have analysed fifty
species of plants this term, and find ourselves
increasingly interested in the pursuit of so
pleasing and profitable study.
We are exceedingly pleased with the mine
! rails, and will gratefully receive any specimens
of mapping, pencilry, painting, or practical
geometry, with which you may favor us. While
we thank you, we will endeavor, in our re-
spouse, to return an ample equivalent.
| Welove the study of natural science, and are
taught by our teacher to regard the field of ma
ture as "OUR HEAVENLY FATHERS OWN IL
BRARY," from which he would not only have us
gather lessons of wisdom and instruction, but
in which every object should seem to us to mir
ror forth His perfections, and enforce His claim
upon the affections of our young hearts Hop
ing to hear from you again, we remain yours
affectionately, ELIZA FRITCHER,
On.behalf of Pupils No. Z, Syracuse.
| The above letter, with other correspondence
between the schools in these two cities of New
York, was given as part of the annual report
of the New York public schools, which report
was sent to every member of Congress, and to
numerous friends of schools in other countries !;
making in the whole respectable days work
for few disorderly boys.
