A Boys Paradise.


A correspondent of the New
York Epening Post has found at the
obscure village of Washington,
Connecticut, a school for boys, con.
Quoted on principles which, if he
tells the truth, must make it q real
paradise, compared with most
schools, and we fear this publicity
given to it will fearfully test its ca
pacity. The correspondent says:
The moral tone of the school is its
distinguishing feature. Any one
guilty of deceit or fraud is warned
by his companions to report him>
self to the head master, If be neg
lects to do so he is at once informed
upon by his companions. Instead
OF its being considered mean to re-
port . misdemeanor, il is here re.
garded as an offense against the
whole boy community to permit
misdeed to 60 unpunished. Tho
methods of punishment pursued at
the school are entirely original and
generally arise on the spur of the
moment. A littls boy makes too
much noise; he is ordered to take
horn to the village green, and to
blow o blast at each corner OF the
church or he is sent a mile over
the hill to the Moody barn; or he
helps rake hay for half an hour in
the fields, or cleans some brick
that are required for building
One day boy stole some apples
from a poor widow; he was sent
the next day to pick up stones
from her field as a punishment,
but the widows heart softened, and
she mado him come in 10 dinner,
.and stuffed him with good things
and sent him homo. A liftlo boy
was caught ducking o cat in the
rainwater hogshead; up steps the
teacher behind him, and scizing
him by the seat Of his breechos
and the nape Of tho neck, plunges
him after the cat, to show him
how it feels. Such things as bul.
lying and tagging are not tolera-
ted. There are no rules, no for.
hidden games; everything that can
afford amusement is tolerated at
proper times and in proper quaint.
ty.
The master of the school is una.
bic to distinguish between the
good DR.. Busby and the wicked.
ness of ordinary playing cards,
and 80 tho boys play whist, if they
know enough, openly and in the
parlor. The sinfulness Of dancing
and the orthodoxy OF calisthenics
are metaphysical distinctions and
the boys have a dance when there
is timc for it, and they like it,
Those who arc old enough have
breech-loading rifles, and they are
taught how to use them, as the
master OF the school is one of the
best shote in the country. The
older boys learn oil about tho
haunts of animals. They know
tho track Of the woodchuck the
raccoon, the fox, and can tell the
name Of o bird from its song, its
nest, or its egg. They roam the
forests on Saturdays, and fish, and
hunt, and batho in the mountain
streams, some trusty big boy &c.
companies the smaller ones, and
no party goes away without the
knowledge of the teachers. All
the boys wear good stout wooden
clothing, which necessarily meets
with q good many rents and tears,
but is kept in order by Aunt Betsy,
whose needle and patch work are
in constant demand. Such q bee.
hive, such exuberant spirits and
shouts of happiness constantly
6ubbling up and running over as
this school exhibits, it has never
been my lot to witness before.
