A Day With the Orphans-
These are prolific times, and great
events and enterprises are born.
Among others that will illumine the
pages of history but lew will outshine
in philanthropic grandeur that devot
ed to the origin and progress of Sol
diers' Orphan Schools.
Children Avhose fathers fell in our
late struggle are gathered together by
the State, eared for and educated as
faithfully and as tenderly as a kind in
telligent father, with ample means
would do.
Could the State, in any other way,
to the same extent, repair the loss to
the children and to herself? How
much better to erect moral and intel
lectual monuments to the honor of pa
rents and to the State than monu
ments of marble or granite ? How
much more sensible and christian-like
to remember in this way the " bone
and sinew" of the land which really
gave the death blows to treason than
to expend all our public thanks and
money in the erection of monuments
to the memory of men whom fortune I
made great? Verily we are teaching
the nations of the tvorld a lesson.
A short time since, while on a visit
to the school at McAlisterville, I was
deeply impressed with the grandeur ol
the movement, and felt proud that for
once, at least, and in so noble an enter
prise. Pennsylvania leads the nation,
the world.
Are any prejudiced against these
schools, let them visit one well eon
ducted, and see the happy, cheerful,
joyous faces of the children, the care
and attention paid them, and hear
them sing in their sweet, impressive
tones such songs as "Tenting on the
old campground," " Orphans' prayer,"
&e., and surely, if they have the mer
est spark of humanity left, the}' will
go home ashamed ol their prejudices.
I myself had no prejudices to be
ashamed of but was really not prepar
ed for such a treat,—threatened the
" little lolks" I would tell the people
of Mifflin county all about them.
I arrived :n tlie morning and was in
troduced to Mr. Caveny, the acting
principal, a gentleman much beloved
by the children, whom they delight to
call papa. Mr. Caveny took great
pleasure in showing me into the differ
ent departments of the school and ex
plaining its general working. I was
first shown into tlfl? clothing depart
ment, where, to my surprise, 1 learned
that all the clothing for the one hund
red and fifty-five boys and girls are
made by the orphan girls themselves
under the superintendence of two la
dies, one principal. ,he other assistant.
Here 1 was J WuL struck with the
home-like appc ance of things. Girls
were sitting Dusily plying the needle
with cheerful countenances, while the
elderly ladies, mother-like, were mov
ing about preparing work, giving in
structions, &c. I there learned the
modus operandi of the school. That
each boy and girl was required to work
two hours a day, and study and recite
lessons six, making eight hours em
ployment for each day. That the girls
were taught and required to do all
kinds of housework,—sewing, baking,
making beds, scrubbing, washing dish
es, taking care of garden, &c. That
the boys learn farm labor on twenty
eight acres of land belonging to the
institution, which is farmed principal
ly in garden vegetables. In short, I
found it was only a family on a large
scale.
I was then shown into the primary
department of the school under the
charge ot a lady from New York, and
was highly pleased, delighted indeed,
with her teaching, as well as with the
deportment of the pupils and the inte
rest they manifested in their lessons.
Next I \\as conducted into the princi
pal school room in which were seated
about one hundred and fifty boys and
gills whose brightly beaming eyes re
flecting radiance on every side, gave
assurance of contented, happy hearts
beating beneath their bosoms.
Then they sung, and what a volume
of unwritten history unfolded itself as
they breathed forth in beautiful song
the touching words of " Tenting on the
old camp ground," "The orphans'
pra\ ci, &c. Iho scenes of many a
camp ground with its sick and dying
fatheis whose arlections had clustered
BO tenderly around these children •
the fiery ordeal of battle when put'
ting forth a brief petition for the dear
ones at home; many a father bravely
and heroically met the foe and poured
out his precious life for the salvation
of his country; then the grandeur of
the thought that the State has heard
the prayer of the dying hero and has
become a father to tho fi.tborlcM, fool,
ing like a kind parent to their interest
aod to their welfare. All this, torna
do-like, rushed through the spiritual
heavens sweeping everything before
it, at least, so far as my vision extend
ed.
While addressing the children, which
I was kindly requested to do, I asked
them, How many are tired of this place
and would like to go home ? All that
are, raise hands. Not a single hand
went up. All was quiet. I then said
ail who like this place and would
rather stay thau go home, raise bands.
Quick as lightning every hand went
up at fuH arms length. I wish those
grumblers and propagators of false
hood from Mifflin county had been
there.
Next, dinner being ready, we were
ushered into the diuing room, and soon
two drummer boys and one with fife
struck up a lively air, to which the
boys in fine order marched to their
seats at table. Thus tbey continued
fthile the girls took their places, pro
moting in a wonderful manner an air
of cheerfulness. We had a plain sub
stantial dinner in the shape of potpie.
Ac. lam satisfied that their living is
as good as any children's ought to be.
They are taught politeness at table,
boys being required to help the girls,
and no one is allowed to leave until
tap of bell, when all leave in order.
in the afternoon 1 visited the other
teachers and heard their classes recite,
and am convinced that the orphans are
more highly favored in teachers than
children generally are.
1 was highly-pleased with the school
in every respect and advise people to
visit it. The children generally are
clean and well clad—are required to
attend worship daily, are taught hab
its of obedience, diligence, industry and
politeness, and with the good teachers
they have, are making fine progress in
their studies. * M. M.
