THE TOMBS SCHOOL.
SPECIAL ATTENTION is GIVEN TO HYGIENIC
INSTRUCTION-ALL THE BOYS ARE

INSTRUCTION-ALL THE BOYS ARE
TAUGHT TO READ AND WRITE.
Mrs Schuyler Van Rensselaer,. president Of the
Public Education Association. Is particularly In
terested in the Tombs School, which opened
last autumn by the Public Education Association.
The object Is to furnish instruction for the boys
confined In the Tombs Prison pending trial in the
city courts Speaking Of the school, Mrs Van
Rensselaer, said:
THE University Settlement. heartily in sympathy
with this movement furnished the association
with a most valuable auxiliary in David Willard,
the present principal Of the Tombs School The
work is n peculiar one, and calls for degree Of
tact patience and sympathy not usually required
in the management Of boys of this age 1t Is i'm
portant that their self-respect be utterly de-
stroyed and that they be encouraged to honest
and manly living. 1t is impossible In short time
to follow regular course Of study, although by
simple spelling and writing lessons the boys ac-
compish something each day. Special attention Is
given to hygienic instruction. The school Is fur
nshed with plates and skeleton that the
pupils may receive object lesson In caring for
their own bodies. and in rendering practical as
sistance in cases Of accident.
THE boys are supplied with games. suitable and
interesting reading matter. including picture papers
and magazines, which they allowed to take to
their cells. The great point gained however, Is
their confidence and the opportunity for personal
influence over the boys by their principal and
through this his ability to help and advise in
many matters quite aside from books"
The Tombs School has received from the first the
approval Of the Commissioners Of Corrections and
that OF the prison officials, who have expressed
their conviction Of its utility.
The school, although cordially indorsed by the
Board OF Education, Is in way connected with
the public school system. 1t has thus far been sup
ported solely by private subscription. During the
coming months the discomfort of the prison will
be greatly increased by the noise and dust made
In tearing down and rebuilding. Through the warm
weather much relief has been given by furnishing
ice 70 the prisoners
The Tombs School belongs to New-York and at
this time. when so much Is being said and done to
promote good citizenshp. II seems peculiarly ap-
Propriate that this effort made to elevate class
IN whom, in spite OF environment there are still
Possiplities or good should meet with encourage
ment and liberal support.

LIFE OF THE NURSES.

Birch bark canoes are still used by
the Indians for this sport, and the way
they handle them in the wide, stormy
waters of the Bay of Fundy is a revela-
ton as to the Seaworthiness of those
wonderful little craft. Boys must be-
gin their training as porpoise hunters
when they are 10 or u years old, going
out with an older man in good wealth
er first. The Indians generally go two
together, for, while shooting the por-
poise can be done easily by one in
smooth water, it is not the shooting. but
the landing of him that is the ticklish
business. After he is shot he is speared
TO finish him, and then the Indian runs
two fingers in the blow-hole, takes hold
of his fin with the other hand, lifts the
great fellow until at least half his
length is above the canoes gunwale,
and then drags him aboard. Imagine
doing that in birch bark canoe on a
rough wintersea Yetaman alonein his
canoe under such conditions will often
accomplish the feat, and not so rarely
he will fail. and lose his life to boot.
The usual thing is for two to work to-
Eether, and then accidents are COM
paratively rare. \ man has to stand up
to shoot, if the water is rough. OF
course he could not see his game if he
didn't. One of those Indians can stand
and shoot, and at the same time adapt
every movement TO the swaying of his
boat, keeping her on an even keel with
a success that is simply miraculous.
There are many sharks in these wa
tiers, and there are perfectly authentic
Gated stories of sharks cutting por-
poises in two just as the Indians were
hauling them aboard, but they don't
seem to mind the sharks at all, driving
them off with their long spears when
they are too encroaching, with perfect
GOODNESS.
