Fifteen years ago business reverses
preyed heavily on the mind Of Mr..

would not permit him to meet his old
friends and acquaintance, it was said

A WORTHY CHARITY.

~f~~-
half of Berkshire Industrial School.
Through the kindness of the Rev,
and Mrs. Philemon Sturges, meeting
was held at St. Peters Rectory on
Tuesday last, in aid Of the Berkshire
Industrial Farm.
All present were deeply interested
as they listened to the Rev. Lewis
Cameron, of South Orange, who de-
scribed his visits to the Farm, to see
g his boy" as he called poor boy who
had been committed to the Jail in
Newark for stealing, but had been
afterward given to Mr. Cameron to re-
form if possible. The gradual change
in the boy, under the kindly influences
of the Farm, his love for the animals,
especially for 6 his pigs" his sense OF
the justice with which he was treated,
his consideration for the other boys,
were graphically and humorously de-
scribed by Mr.. Cameron, who held the
audience spellbound.
A report was then read. There are
eighty boys at the Farm fifteen OF
whom are from New Jersey. Three
have recently been received from Nor
ristown. Each boy costs 9 $3.50 year
including salaries of superintendent
and teachers, and allother expenses.
The report described some of the
homes made wretched by drink and
vice, from which boys have been taken.
One boy, who had been two years at
the Farm, on being told that he had
earned his discharge by good conduct
said, do you think God would care,
if should kill myself for / cannot
go back to my home"
Extracts from letters received from
the boys who have left the Farm were
read, telling of their success in earn
ing an honest living as printers, plum
bcrs, farmers, clerks, ETC., all express
ing their attachment to the "B. l.
f." as they call it.
A letter was then read from Rev. DR..
Hughes, expressing his regret that an
engagement kept him away from the
meeting and saying that his impress
ions of the work gained in his two
visits to the Farm were most favor
able, and that he gave it his thorough
endorsement.
Rev. DR.. Erdman then spoke of visit
several years ago, in which he had
specially noted the strong religious
safuence which peryaded the life
there.
Rev. Mr.. Dwight closed the meeting
with a reference to the late DR.. Charl-
ton T. Lewis, who from the organiza-
tion of the Farm had been deeply inter
ested in the philosophical aspect of
the work. He regarded the mill sys-
tenn of rewards and fines, which is
copied from the system at Mettray,
France, as model system for dealing
with boys. Every bov can earn his
way out by good conduct. Something
to look forward to, is necessary for the
young.
Rev. Mr.. Sturges added akindly word
of inquiry as to the state of the funds.
The work Of the Berkshire Farm
has been recently organized in Morris
town by the appointment of seven
Associate Managers Mrs. Sturges,
Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Maury, Mrs. Burn
ham, Mrs. Dwight, Mrs. Vice. -Chancel-
lor Stevens, and Mrs. Frederic Kel-
logg. Mrs. Kellogg has kindly con-
sented to act as treasurer, and will
gladly receive any contributions to
the work.
