Who held some office, our bsfne
Brother Waterton, Cleveland, was
sounded from one to another by the
Cleveland boys. The boys sloep, on
the second floor, entered BY. a broad
stairway into a hall, then dividing
right and left, modating twenty
in each room, boyeach having q sepel
rate neat bed ,looking very clean. AT
the end Of ut this entrance hall Is a
small lobby for the watchnan, that
no boy from either room can go
down stairs without his knowledge.

Brother w, much resembled old
friends meeting after being parted
o long time. We would here state,
that on the farm, from Principal
down to watchman ard ell who
they call friends, are called brothers
in common conversation. Even
Messrs. Reemelin, Foot aud Ladd
are called brothers. tru .f .e.i .'
i Their general breakfast time is
; six o'clock. When the first bell 10
'rung, then sounds the whistle, and
every boy runs to his place, forming
|. a line 10 front of the building. At
different sounds of the whistle, their
movements change. AT certain
sound Of the whistle they all march
In single file to the dining room,
each taking their own place. The
breakfast, ,as well as. all other meals
consist Of good healthy food, and
+ the best white bread in the States.
/, After breakfast, the boys ran round
} and had some play by the way Of
recreation, until shout seven o'clock,
\ when they with all of the officers
took their seats in the school-room
to review the past week. This they
lcall the moral review, which is en-
,exanination of their moral or i'm.
, moral acts and thoughts, probing to
. the very quick. The examiner,
L. who is the Principal, endeavors to
: discern between truth and false
e hood. This is very severe ordeal
+. OF moral training to pass through.

Q was offered me, to address the boyss

. the material given me during the

, with their elder brothers (wsrdens)
went walking in the woods by way
) Of exercise and recreation. For one
: hour after their return they held their
o Sabbath School. BY this time Mr..
