zen appointed by the Board OF Managers OF 0
lie House Of Refuge OF New Castle County, to
al upon the peep Of this city and county and .
olicit contributions towards the erection of r
uildings suitable for the reception of juvenile &
fenders The board has during the past year
lad under confederation other tchemes for
aising the means for this purpose, but these
iavipg failed, the managers are uow driven to
he necessity Of appealing to the benevolent for
voluntary contributions with the conviction
hat II this last resort falls, the project Of o
House of Refuge, for the present, must be aban-
doned. Such conclusion will, however, be
accepted with sincere reluctance ard regret,
iuasmuct as q beginning in this enterprise OF
vital Importance has already been made and !
much time aud labor consumed, as we'll as con.
siderable expense incurred; 10 such au event |
all TO no success. But we think the necessity |
for an institution of this character in the |
county ia SO apparent, and the desire so great
on the part of our citizens to encourage all
enterprises having for their object the Improve
ment of the condition of thoss destitute OF
moral training that such an abandonment will
not have to be- made.
Asquare of ground In an eligible location has
been rendered for the use of the House Of Refuge
by the City Council, together with the sum of
two thousand dollars, and further sum Of three
thousand dollars has been appropriated by the
Levy Court for the purpose OF furnishing and
carrying on the institution, but the want of an
amount sufficient to construct the buildings
still remains. For the latter purpose at least
ten thousand dollars will be required, and we
hope that amount will be cheerfully subscribed,
as the object is one in which all good citizens
are interested.
At present our county is destitute of any
place for the proper correction and training OF
Juvenile offenders, and as a consequence, that
class prey upon the rights aud properly Of the
community and SOW the seeds Of vice and mis-
cry with impsuity; nor Is there probability
Of an early provision being made in any other
way to supply the deficiency therefore We have
the greater assurance in appealing to our citi-
gems to assist us in our efforts to secure an iu-
sti,utiou through the agency Of which many
will be reclaimed whO In time may prove {
teri or to the community and curse TO them
selves. J. 5. VALENTINE.
