and officers, privilege which the lao gives
to the meanest of criminals but in this

desire to cover any wrong, or to shield any
person who is in any sense blamewOrthy

dressed and marched in. From large
pipe extending around the top Of this rink,
there are rs many streams Of warm soft
water thrown. as there arc BOYS to battle.
They first wash their heads, necl,s and ears,
then their chests and arms; then being
faced, each boy vigorously scrubs his
leaders back then their legs and feet are
attended TO every change is made at the
command OF the officer in charge, and as
all are under his eye, any boy Sinking his
duty is at once detected. The testimony
OF the officers and boys whom we have to-
day examined, establishes the fact this
duty is never neglected When they come
from the bath they are wiped dry, and each
boy receives a clean shirt and a pair of
socks The clothes which are left behind
are taken TO the laundry, where they are
not only washed, but also 5oiled Having
been properly ironcd they arc sent to the
sewing room. where lost buttons are re-
stored and needed repairs are made, when
they are again ready for use

the new corners bring into the school head

all carry, but after n while he discovered
that mlny Of them were converted from
articles OF necessity into articles of adorn-

many were also lost or DESTROYED. 70
guard against this waste and 10 TIE end
that the boys heads nigh, be more care
fully attended TO, he gave each teacher
supply Of fine combs. from which any boy
might at any time borrow, and it was also
made the duty of the teachers to see that
those boys whose native pride was not sufi-
Client to lead them voluntarily to Keep
clean, should comb each others hair twice
each week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Ont Of one hundred and furty-tw0 boys in
the Institution to-day, only two were
found who had any traces of lice about
their heads, although diligent search and
