The Unfortunate Children.

The inmates of the best refOrmatory
school in England, as was proved by the
report submitted to parliament, give evi.
dence of the want of domestic training,
the lack of the thousand little tender
nesses, sacrifices, even the childish squad,
bles Of home life, at the institution; the
girls come out of these mills at eighteen,
hard, callous, morbid, totally unfit for
any work in family or for the care of
children; the boys equally hard, but re.
bellioas; and in both were seen defiance
Of the world, either dull or fierce, the in
evitable result of long compression under
memorable rules.
The child hes never had its own rag
baby, or broken toy, its own corner of
the fire, It's own brothers and sisters to
watch or kiss or perhaps fight with, and,
more than all, its own mother; IL has
been one of a class, cipher in a great
multitude; It has been fed, dosed, drilled
in row Of thousand. All the feeling,
the anger, the hot blood which has been
barred down 30 long under an unnatural
system, is bound 10 break out at last. In
the cottage plan more recently adopted
each child is received into family; care
is taken that they shall be honest, clean,
and kindly folk if they are not the lady
visitors soon discover the fact and remove
the child. The supervision and guardian
ship of the child thus rest ultimately with
educated Christian women, and not with
paid uncultured employees, such as are
usually placed in charge Of reiOrmatories,
with such sad results.
