377 have been received; total, 97. or these, 362
have been indtntured and discharged, leaving re-
mander, at the end of the year, Of SIS, under the
of the Society. The physicians report shows not

boys school state that the whole number under in

disciplined in reading, arithmetic, and geography In
the girls department, I5i have been Taught in all, and

years, are appended to the report. BY the
syftem of labor adopted for the boys, they
employed under contracts with responsible parties,
and are occupied diligently with work from six to
eight hours each working-day of the year. The par

where the boys make and repair their own clothes)
jackets pantaloons and vests have been made and re-
paired by the Thousand during the year. The girls are
equally indus rous in washing aud mendng their own

establishment. They are thus trained 10 earn their
living under any circumstances which may befal them

committees are often harassed by applications on the
part OF parents and guardians for the release Of those
placed under the authority Of tho Board For obvious
reasons, these applications met by an almost uni.

involve removal Of the delinquent to distance from
