by the placing at all important rail-

with the bootblack brigade. This work
Is undertaken by the Central Shoe

surprise that they are expected to

The society has sixty boys, who are
lodged, taught and partially boarded
on the premises of the institution, and
there is an ingenious allotment Of their
earnings into three parts after an al

one-third being their own, another
third the society's and the remaining
third going to their bank account, on
which they can draw for special pur.
