Clilldren some sick, many fraili most of tender years Ihudtliieugli the winter without uuderganiieutx of any kind uiien iiisiii their jiersens, and in palliation or this neglect the school managers, declared thai they had net provided them because the department regulations did net speeiry un un ilergarmeutH In the list el articles te be fur- nisneii eacucmiu. Tliere were taken Irem the feet of beya stockings that had been unchanged for ever a month and from which the toen and heels et me children protruded in n llltliy condition. The same shirt was found te liaelsen worn by a child day and night from Christmas te March. Hundreds et the children, lieysand girls, were observod whose clothing was tern, ragged ami oueusive te sight ami Huien. In no institution wero the boys provided with toeth-lirusliOH, and In very few schools was tliore a lull supply of combs. Ker periods or four months the children In some schools were kept from church Uicause of the lei-k of geed clothing. The law requiring that each ihlld be proUded with a full outfit upon leav ing the Institution, at the age or hi years, was In many Instances totally disregarded. Handkerchiefs costing:! cent wrerachargeU at the rate of 10 r-enta nptece : stockings cost ing 12 cents were charged at the rate of as ceuU a ialr.

The children thusntlitcted slept Indiscriminately with heatthy children, washed In tlie sanie water nnd usisl tlm same towels. Clilldren newly ml until I into the Institution were clad with the cast-oil clothing of elder In In Dittes. One child died III tlm sickroom without a nurse te attend him In his dying hours or te clese his eyes. The sick room where this child tiled, 'orphaned In life and wor.e than orphaned In death, w is filthy nnd unhealed. In many, many cases three chil dren slept hi ene bed that was scarcely sufU sufU cleut for two. Beils thirty nine Inches w Ide were used by three child ren.lssls twenty-four Inches wide by two children, and at one hcIksiI four small children slept In ene bed A building i nutaliilng Inn Isiys hid no adult alteudaiit. 'I he bedding was loll! nnd llltliy. According te the rojiert el Dr. I,ee, the slisipiug iiissunmodntleus nl mm school hcarcely reached one-third of tlm require ments or the laws of sanitation. The school rooms nnd play-rooms wero evei i reudixl, ami in some !inirlmenlH the lireathlng spicn was less than ene-lwellth of tlie quantity which tlm i Ii lid roil required. Al another K'hoel a dingy furnace lellar was the play room. The cooking arrangements of tlm schools wero also delicleet, and at one institution It was admitted that the children did net get enough te eat Isjcause or the sumllness of the isMikmg stote. Twenty-six of the boys at ttiHlH'hoel presented a petition te mn allet: lugtlmt they did net gel enough te eat. An An other and sninew hat similar petition was pro pre Minted, complaining of a want or t.trlet.t . (OtHsl. ami i svaiiii.ii loon. Tlm feed supplied w is generally coarse and unvaried.

Without further ssvitlcatlen of do de do lectlve feed it is Hiillldenl te state that fig ures were pnwented by the principal or ene school showing tint the nverage cost or n ine.il rir child was J1 cents. caretul estl in ite also shows that breakfast cost 1', cents Mr heid mid seme suppers Y, cents r head. I'.xcept In n lew Instances they received no moral or religious Instruction ether than that imiirteit at the general public exercise In thochnpel or church. In most c.tses they were huddled in tlielr ceuhned beds without prayer or religious admonition, no matron or 'guardian teaching tliem te lisp the name ofl.ed. Ne lllbles were round In tlie chil dren's rooms, and tliore weie no rellning or hoiiKvlike Inllueiices hi the surroundings of these little ones. In elght-teuths of the hcIioeM tliere was no regultr Industrial In striictlnn.

In noun or tlie schools wero lliese pretls Ions el thu law tully observed, and in mast or llieni tliore was notitpruteuseot obedlenio 111 the greater iimulKir et cases theie was net an industry or trade taught te the children. They were only employed le such exteul and in such (Hs'iipiitloiisasiuade them iirollt iirellt able te the managers by hiking the plnee or hired help. Instead of military tactics Isilng biught in every hcIiiki), as thu law contem plated, In most of the Institutions tliere was net a soldier or Ktrsen familiar w Ith military allalra employ ed in anydeiirtment. In iione was tliore leuild n teacher el iigricillture. Thoiiuintieref teachers nnd attend nits for theM.hiHils was wholly inadcqiiate lustetd of carelul teaching in vocal music thochll thechll thochll dren were lento occasional iractice in sing ing in cencert, without technical tr lining. The object el the prev Islen el the law cited evidently was that wheu the children graduated from the schools al Id years el age they would net only le fairly taught In com mon school branches of education, but would also, according te their natural bent, be fairly tralmd in seme useful industrial employ ment, and thus qiinlltled ler even oouiHi'tl eouiHi'tl oeuiHi'tl tlou in tlm race of life. Hew bheckingly this liumaue iur(sise or the Inw has been perverted will Ihi apparent vv lien It Is stated that net only was industrial instruction very generally neglected, but that also, in many iustanies, tlie clilldren weroemplojod In the most disgusting occupations, such us clean ing cosspoels and similar work, therein breaking their sell pride and humiliating them.

Mr. (iiadstone has ylelded te the pressure brought te bear by his Irlends and has niineiinced his dotormln detormln dotermln atlon te visit Scotland during Kaster recess for the purpose et addressing his Midlothian constituents en the subject of home rule. The Liberal couimltteo of arrangements for the Kaster campaign has been doing seme of its hardest preliminary work In the Scotch boroughs nnd they nre new thoroughly sewn with home rule lltorature. Arrange ments hnv e also been begun for giving Mr. Gladateuu reusing roceptlens wherever he steps lu the north, w ith torchlight proces preces sions, bands of music and addressosef wel come prosentod by the provosts of various towns. The Scotch Radical clubs nre gen erally falling Inte line for home rule, and the members of the committee say that, with Mr. Gladstone's assistance, the return of the Liberal vvaverers te tlielr nllegianpe Is as sured. The couimltteo Is also soeking te induce Mr. Themas Power O'Connor, the Nation alist member for Liverpool, te make n home rule canvass et Lancashire during l'ester week. Mr. O'Connor as president of tlie Irish National League of Great llrltaiu or er ganised the electoral campaign in the " Illaek country" Last fall which resulted in revolu tionizing tlie political complexion of Lan cashire by the vetu of hundred et thousands or Irishmen ompleyod in the collieries nnd Iren mines.

The ssme votes could new lie swung evor by the same man, te the I. literal f and home rule side. This would have the ellect at least of allowing the Tery members et the Ilouse Hint they cannot allerd toigueretho Irish vote even In Great Britain. These facts explain the anxlely of the Liberal committee te get O'Connor te make another canvass et Lancashire, but as he is already overorovvded with litentry and political engagements it Is doubtful 11 he w ill be able te comply.
