CLASSIFYING PAUPERs.
Comforts and Privileges for Those De-
serving Them.

In opening classification wards"
the Fulham guardians have taken a
notable departure and the result or
their experiment will be watched with
interest, says the London Telegraph.
Prior to 1895 the inmates OF work.
houses were only classified according
to age and without reference to char
acter or past career. In January or
that year the local government board
issued a circular directing that so far
as circumstances permitted there might
be a subdivision of the inmates with
reference to their moral character and
behavior or their previous habits. The
Fulham guardians appointed a COM
mittee, which has drawn up a scheme,
and a large company attended at the
workhouse in Fulham Palace road re-
Gently, when practical effect was given
to the chief recommendation of the
committee. The Rev. p. S. G. Pro-
pert, the chairman of the board, ex-
planned that two comfortable and we'll
furnished wards are henceforth to be
provided for the separate accommoda-
ton of the aged and deserving poor
only. About sixty men and about the
same number OF women have been
selected as worthy to be included In
this class. All are over IS years OF age,
have fallen on evil days through no
fault of their own, and until compelled
to seek the shelter of the workhouse,
led respectable lives. In the case OF
the men. many have lived In the parish
nearly all their lives and several have
been rate payers for long series OF
years. They will, SO long as their con-
duct is good, enjoy certain privileges

board may In this respect allow certain
