The Colonial Standard, after recording a
series of recent cases of yagrancy and rutia-
njsm among the children of the lower classes
in Kingston, says Our readers may judge
from them that we exaggerate nothing when
we state that juvenile delinquency IS on the
increase. The next questions which arise are,
first, what is the cause OF this state OF things,
and next what remedy should be applied. We
believe the answer to the first question, will
he found in the we'll known fact that through
the misdirected, though no doubt sincere
efforts Of the friends Of education, parents Of
the humber classes are taught to dream q
brighter future for their children than as ag-
ri~oultural labourers or handicraftsmen The
children are sent to school, and taught a litera-
ry education, without a single industrial In
gredient in it. They come home, and astOnish
the Ignorant parents with a show OF the little
learning acquired at school, and these straight
wav see in them boys destined to be above work
not followed by gentlemen. The boys are
encouraged in idleness. They are thought too
good to work. The foolish and hopeful parents
toll as hard as they can to keep the embryo
white.choker- wearer,-for to become that is
the supreme aim of their ambition shoes,
and Injuries, whilst they themselves go bare
footed, and live on the toughest food. The
children are, in a word, spoiled and not only
go to ruin themselves, but by their example
influence those who are even lower placed
than themselves to become idle Migrants.
The remedy we think is in the institution
of industrial schools, and also of a system
something like the Prussian system to secure
the children being sent to those schools. In
Prussia there is an accurate register of births
and deaths Kept, and every parent is obliged
to produce his child after a certain age to re-
oeive suitable education at the public school,
unless he can shew that the child Is being
educated elsewhere We want good agri-

virgin colony get behind the police, behind
the troops, into the town, aboard the ships,
to. those poor and benighted islands they
despise-anywhere for a quiet life, till their
arch-enemy, that quadriliteral Hennessy, is
recalled, as they hOpe,-or makes it safe for
them to return to their penatcs. Sadness and
mystery, a prudential calm, succeeds to the
WaSplsh thunder of the anti confederate press.
Meanwhile, with q poor sugar crop half-reaped,
the provision fields plundered, and the two
great classes in mutual antagonism, the happy
and cOntented colony is the antithesis of its
former self, and will be happy if it get through
the next twelve-month with a quarter of the
loss, materially, it has suffered in reputation
for practical good sense, liberation and modera-
ton. Twenty years of discretion will not
restore what it has lost in these respects.
There is mystery, which wants clearing up.
There were surprises and diSenChantments on
every side; but it speaks ill for the common
feeling that ought to reign through such a
small island, that such are possible. 1t will
take thabest qualities of all parties to recon
Gle each to each, to purge the bile from their
blood and restore q healthy balance. Mean
while, the source Of the Illusion that possessed
the rioters must be traced, and if there be a
criminal in the case within reach of the authori-
ties he must be punished. What must be
known to many, should not be hard to ind.
The prisons are meanwhile full to repIetion,
and the trials will fill the papers and amuse
the curious for weeks. And the constitution
where is it2 just where it was. And will
remain there, till Barbadians see that for their
own sake they must reform it. An early result
of their troubles will be that many will abandon
the boasted constitution of Barbados to throw
themselves into the arms of this Crown colony
more perhaps than we shall be ready to
welcome, not being certifCated for sobriety OF
life and language, or respect for meum and
tuum. The average common Barbadian has
not an enyiable reputation here at present
the too probable additions we may shortly
receive are not likely to better it. We have
certainly many respectable people of every
rank from the sister island, and the more Of
these that come and settle amongst us the
better. A party of heads of families, each
head having o saving OF &l5 or 20, may
become purchasers of Grown lands in ten acre
allotments (for s9l0 a pieceh in neighbOrhood,
at the monthly sales, forming the nucleus of
a Barbadian settlement. Persons of larger
meaas may settle or acquire an estate here
for amazingly less than would be necessary in
Barbados and, If near Grown lands, may easily
surround themselves, if they choose, with
Barbados ~cOttiers on whom they may rely
for occasional help during crop, aud also at
other times. Both classes will be welcomed
here. and we venture to say will find life
to}erable even under a Grown colony system
while We have good magistrates and a free
Dress. If the Planter be q man of means, he
NAV apply for and have his share Of coUlie

THE RECENTLY DISCOVERED FRESH
WATER SPRING IN ST. THOMAS.
fEro,, t6s TC5ovJol
From the Tidende.)

In our issue Of the 18th of April we referred
to the Fresh Water Spring which had been
found in the Fort So uare, during the blasting
operations which have lately been carried on
there. 1t was at the moment when everything
was parohed up, and the cry was water water!l
when ~cisterns were empty, and wells were Civ
ing out that this spring was so unexpectedly
stumbled upon, and it therefore came more in
the shape ola Godsend than anything else
which could possibly have been bestowed on
US. On the 22nd of the same month we gave
an account of the Investigations which had been
commenced by one or two gentlemen who have
taken a great deal of interest in this matter. 1t
was then promise d hat the Investigations, which
had then been found so satisfactory, would be
continued, in order to find out if the spring was
one from which a permanent yield of water may
be expected. We have abided the time, from
that to this, with no small degree of anxiety
as to the result Of the f1rther trials. Ga We'd
nesday last several Of the officers of the civil
government, the officers Of the Brand Corps and
some other c~.t13us, who appear to be very
Z Qlous in tn ltter IF a water supply
o. at least in suppl" from this spring
mustered on tho s. d, ha. ng had two pumps
carried there, for the propose OF testing the
source. They were most fortunate Iu-
deed, in having with them q ge0logiSt,- "a
gentleman who happened to be passing through
here. The two pumps We're set to work
with full force and together pumped from the
mall reservoir, which was fed by the spring,
at the rate Of GO gallons per minute. This was
more than was expected and has so far proved
that the yield Of this one spring, if continuous,
will be quite equal to the wants Of the place.
1t is the opinion Of the geOlogist that the supply
is inexhaustible, though to prove this some
further and more minute Investigations will
have to be made. The water is now undergo
ing anal yzation-and has so far proved to be
quite as free from any impurities as the best
oistern water in the island. After all the trials
and Investigations have been completed it will
then remain to be seen what is to be done with
il; how It can be applied to the necessities of
the community and how much the undertaking
will cost-whioh is by no means the least CON
sideratiou in the matter,
