Girard College Revisited—No. 2.
In reoent years Girard College has, in some mea
sure, deteriorated. Thus, as a class, although excel
lent boys of their age, 'the higher scholars of the
present school (pi not possess the manlier character
of former years; and this, for one simple reason, at
least, that it has been of late the custom to make
Premature apprenticeships. Unsettled and indis
criminate dlrectionr.unfriendly and unwise interfe
ence with,an establised organization,' are among
ome of the evils but lightly mentioned, which have
resulted from making the management of the col
lege a political instrument.
Sparing particular facto, one effect of unfortunate
management. has been a degraded household, pout
bly the consequences of an effort to give to the col
lege for orphans the character of a charity school
and orphan asylum. In the late report of the board
of directors, much stress is laid, upon its economy;
but economy at the wenn of the orphan has the
effect of robbery.
The following statistics, derived from the last
report of the board of directors, are interesting : The
college has been in operation fifteen years, with an
average of 300 pupils. In, all there have been ad
mitted to the institution 973 boys, of whom 20 have
died, 96 were dismissed, and 60 had their indentures
cancelled. 197 is, therefore, the minimum number
in all under teaching. Absoondenee has occurred
313 times. During fifteen yea's, 166 apprentices have
become of age. Of these, 23 absolutely absconded
from their masters 13 left their masters owing - to
Various causes, and 120 served out with credit their
term of apprenticeship.
Each of the 973 pupils has coat over one thousand
dollars; that is, dividing all the expenses of the
college since its operation by the number of pupils.
Another fact mentioned is, that the expense for 400
pupils in' 1862 was $12,247, leaving $4,000 unex
pended, and four thousand. dollars' worth of food
and clothing on hand ; While in 1E163, 296 pupils cost
$63 309. These last statistics are dwelt upon, but
are in no sense surprising. . It will be readily seen
that in the first Years of the college the expendi
tures were heaviest, for they involved the establish.
went andfurnieldng of most all of its presentaystem.
Most boards have had to report sums unexpended,
and supplies on hand. The report of this' board,
theiefore, does not prove, by any means,. a- miracle
of economy, however devised for political effect.
Making 350 persons comfortable on a fair sum,. and .
460 uncomfortable on a small sum, doubtless, in:
eludes a question of economy whioh these gentle.
men have solved at the expense of much-reflection:
The foregoing statistics must, perforce; be accept
ed, though it would have been reasonable to have
dwelt upon the number and conduct of the pupilipat
present under apprenticeship, as it would have been
candid to note the fact that, in 1862 i under the pre
sent board, the cases of abscondence were much
more numerous than have occurred in many years.
The fullness of the report in thisparilcularneed not
be questioned on the other hand, the . bestleatures
of the college and its operation seem ignored. But
thie lofty report must be studied to be admired, and,
for instances, the following will suffice: .
" The initial question _already noticed , is about
being solved.. As a collegiate institution, theoreti
cally; it was not difficult to foresee
- its course ;.:prac
tinnily, that course has not reached its antecadent
piedictions. The ideal and the real came into conflict.
The subjective theory was estoppel] by the objec
tive fact. The idiosyncrasies of each would not co
relate. This is not to be imputed as:either criticism
or censure to our predecessors in the directory.
Certainly not; it was caused from conflict selPoreated,
the natural consequence of a convolution of eccen
tric policies. Theories to be solved by experience,
simply this and nothing more."
'Another passage of the report. declaresw "This
college, and its greatest capacity for the largest
'good, were probably the incentives to Girard's mm-
Inulation of wealth. Its establishment one-of the
purposes of hie life. Its success, the refrain.of his
hopei, the burden of his anxiety, andthe religion of
his longevity: ,
There are other portions of the report which have
more simplicity, but are as little to the purpose as
the foregoing. Whether intended 'to confound the
pupils, in the first plaoe, and. confuse the Councils,
in the second; is perhaps worth a question.
The points of -complaint in the new report appear
to be first, that the college is-not a college ; second,
that its education is-not sufficiently practical ; and
third, that it does not hold enough pupils. What
the board proposes to do into make the college a
school and a workshop, and crowd 'in all that it is
possible. , -
ILTo do the greatest good to the greatest number is
an excellent text ; but our directors, it would:seem,
are only increasing the number without increasing
he good.
The directors think it also necessary that a system
of work should be adopted-to prepare the pupil for
apprenticeship, and‘make him pay as much as pos
t siblbfor his education: These views are expressed
with excellent intention, however rashly overstated
in the report, which threatens' the institution with
"a splendid failure " unless such ideas are adopted.
The institution can never faillas long as it possesses
its accustomed :system of teaching ; though, like
everything, it may be improved, and never perfected.
Neither can it be said, with any reason, that the Bye
tem of apprenticeship has proveda failure. This all
the' records of the - college disprove. .
What, then, is necessary I, It would be difficult to
tell from a reading of. the report. Simplified, the
whole matter is very ordinary, and by no means
novel, and does not require the emphasis of-pro.
phecy or metaphysics. 'Pupils waiting for appren
ticeship, and boys who are hopeless at school, must
be employed at useful work, and heretofore they
have been sent 'to the gardener, who foudd. them
abundant employment on the forty acres. of the
college grounds. This was inexpensive, while the
new experiment of shoemaking has, perhaps,
so far proved ,costly and troublesome: But
there can be no objection to useful and nem
sary: :employment. "Menial and unmanly. work,
however, to which the directors have some
times placed the school•boy, only degrades. and op
presses him, and cannot,. in the end, be tolerated. It
is not required that the pupil shall be self.support
. ing, or that the directors shall teach him a. trade.
Girard's bountypi ovides for his support ;. the college.
- gives him an education ; apprenticeship provides
the rest. As a matter of course, a good education
does not unfit him for trade, but only fits himfor the
better kind of trade. Education is intended to make
the boy intelligent ;.trade to apply that intelligence
and make it useful. From the school within the.
walls he graduates to the school of the- world and
experience. There is no harm in giving him
the full benefit of education and making him a
gentleman, for the most intelligent and most gen
tlemanly young men make the best apprentices.
If it is complained that a higher class of knowledge.
creates in the pupil a pride above his station and
immediate destiny, it may be answered that this
pride has virtue in it, or there would be no reason
for edupation at all. The pupil does not forget
that he beneficiary. He is not clothed in fine
linen, and does not fare sumptuously. He has the
tailliple good fortune of a home and an educatipn, with
the prospect of making his way in the world.
Education, as a great good in the mass, is a cure
Tor all its evils; and, if it gives poignancy to the
•
experiencee of life, it also brings counsel and
correction. Without such an education the life
of the orphan might be infinitely less prefera
ble ; with it he may fail ; but whoever
doubts its good is a skeptic %, of good itself.
:,The education should be as practical as possible,
and as nearly' as Possible first-class for those who
have capacity. It should also prepare the pupil in
a gentle and rational manner for the life upon
which he is to enter ; but how far - can the pre-ern.
ployment 'of shoemaking accomplish this _object?
Confessedly, it is only intended for boys who are
incorrigible at study, while by far the greater class
may . have no aptitude or affection for shoemaking,
but will prefer, engineeriag, bookkeeping, printing,
'instrument making, dealing, and other business and
manufactur,e. Should . there be workshops and
offices for these also An education ,for shoemaking

we - to measure its success by the mimber,of the

this department_which has been in operation a num
ber of years, at a yield of value only sufficient to
pay an instructor,
It were wrong to throw odium upon well meant
efforts for the permanent good of the orphan. This
is not done: The only object in viewis first to dis
cover the meaning and anima of the recent report,
(which seems strangely unfavorable in tone towards
the institution whose interests it is supposed to re
present,) and second, to hold in check a disposition
to rash -management, over-management, or mis
management. Clumsy direotion, with regard to the
question of manual employment, may only succeed
in spoiling , both scholars and apprentices—diverting
the pupil from the main object to come. It is im
possible to make manual labor a conlideration of
chief or considerable importance in the educational
'system of the college. It was never so designed—it
is only of inferior concern, and occurs as a cone
nience, and nothing more—serving to employ those.
Who cannot be employed at school in such utilities
as the ordinary economy of the college affords-

fully employed with the gardener and carpenter, but
no noise was made about what was only a matter of
course, till the present report seized the idea and •
went mad upon economy, picturing in the future an
immense self-supporting charity school, with as
many inmates as the almshouse, where every boy
should be his own washerwoman, cook, chamber
maid, shoemaker, tail Or—and why not gO further

Nothing would be more gratifying than to have
the number of the inmates of Girard College largely
increased. In proportion to the increase of number
all the departments of the college should grol in
measure and importance, and the college become
more of a college than ever. But •it can do
no more than support the four hundred pupils
.it now contains, and that only, it would seem,
with very stringent economy. This is evidence
again of rash direction. Morally it is the costliest
economy in the world to rob Peter for the sake of
paying Paul. The Major has wisely vetoed the
bill of Counclls authorizing another appropriation.

One end and a workshop at the other is theliworite

chief and positive, so the workshop is the least to
be considered.
THE WANTS THE COLLEGE.
The difficulties of the college are not extraordi
nary, or beyond common-sense control. Absoondence
from the school and from apprenticeship are what ,
May be expected from the exceptional nature of the
boyl the world over, but who shall say that the col
lege or apprenticeship have been failures? Every
thing proves the great contrary. Make the college
all that it is possible for good, a first-olass gram
mar.sehool, a large flrst•class , polytechnic aca
demy for youth, keep it -highly respectable, and
at the same time practical and popular, and it
may realize the beet ideas: < Apprenticeship must
never be regarded as a stumbling-block. It is
the mission of the institution to exalt and instruct
labor. It is complained that enough masters do not
sPPiyiwhy be in such imprudent haste to admit
more pupils at a risk to tine funds of the estate!
Cautious, kind, intelligent, liberil administration,
will, alike, command the pupil and the master.
The college, in many respects intended for the
highest classes of labor, will make apprentice.
ship popular. One thought, suggested by, a read
ing of the report, is worth attention. In
view of the nature of the institution, pupils
are often sent out too early. Three or four, and, at
the very utmost, five years, is long enough appren
ticeship for intelligent boys to serve, and to pay the
master. Sixteen, seventeen,and eighteen, are there
fore the graduating ages. But difficulties appear in
the fact that come of the boys enter the school
at six and seven years• of age, and ten years ,
within the walls- may become, finally, irksome.
It would be much better, probably,• were it possible,
to receive them at eight, nine r and ten. These mat
ters cannot well be governed, and have virtues,
doubtless, which compensate for their defects. Some
bright boy of fourteen has graduated now and then
with a boy of sixteen, but the former must serve
seven, while the latter serves only three years, at
apprenticeship. It may be possiblein time to make
all these matters more equable by modifying admis
sion, graduation, or apprenticeship.
THB BOYS Or OIBATUY OOLLBGZA
In considering this institution it must be re
membered that its inmates are not selected, in
a general sense. Their admission is not the
result of high averages or competition. Their
merit is their need. The boys of the college - are,
therefore, very various in character, and' number
all classes of the poor. Under education,. their
coadition and conduct furnish many highly ad
mirable feature., but the best results of Girard'o
be nevolence are seen among those who'have• grr
donde(' from the institution audfrom apprenticeship'.
Many are high in trust with their masters ;Isomer
have entered into partnership with their employers. ;:
some are owners of a business, and others. are
on the point of making- alortune ;three or four are
editors and lawyers ; half a dozen are captains
and lieutenants in the army, one • lately high
in position and responsibility as an engineer
under Grant, at Vicksburg. Good surveyors; engi ,
nee's, book-keepers, farmers, scientific mannfactu4
rem machinists, and chemists, the college has also
graduated. But it derives no less - credit from • the -
fact it has sent forth intefevery quarter of the city and'
State scores of humble; upright, intelligent trades

Troubles- Among the • Peopte—Conditlou of
the Loyal. Mexican Army. . .
[From the San Francisco Bulletin, Dot 1.3.]
-
There` - is a great deal of distress amongst the
poorer classes in the city of Mexico,• and instead of
the French establishii3g a government of. equality,
it is ndw looked upon as a reign .ef terror. They
have a whipping post erected at the barracks, and
for the most trivial offences persons were daily
brought:up - and flogged. The whipping of Senor
Bobalo (who has since died from the effects of his
punishment), and also the whipping of the wife of
Senor Rubio are confirmed. The cause given for
the last outrage is, that she had refused to give up
her house to some of Gem,Forey's officers.- It was
also reported that a young lady had likewise been
sentenced to be whipped-for a similar offence,and that
while they were attempting-to tie- her to the stake
she dilly a poignard and-stabbed one or the soldiers..
Since that time nothing has been heard other, . and -
theauppolition wai3 she had been made-away with.'
The popular feeling against whipping becoming very.
great, the practice was stopped for about ten days,
but WAB then re-established: The- newspapers La, •
Estefette and.the Pajero' Verdeded the way, by :stating
that the Government would be compelled to re-esta
blish the whipping stall and punish all persons whose •
acteiwere in opposition to the present Imperial ad.
ministration, and that this was the only true method
of bringing such a degraded race- to .their senses,
Thereupon the whipping post, becameonce more an ,

The French have been guilty of another act, more
outrageous still, which has created. a. great deal• of
indignation, and that is the murder of the: treasie

tion ensued, when he wounded the French, officer.
lie was immediately arrested by a. file. of French
soldiers and executed. This is only. a.portion of the

Orders have been sent to General Bazaine to nom.
mance military operations on the 15th of October,
and to carry them on with all possible activity and
vigor. The partisans of the French party in Mexico
have written to Paris that Juarez was abandoned
by all his former partners; that Doblado and Como°,
fort could easily be bought up; that, in fast, there
was no - real opposition party in Mexico, and that all
the obstacles to overcome were those offered byin
dependent bands of brigands, who, under the name of
g uerillas, were pillaging the country, killing its inha
bitants, and committing the most outrageous crimes.
General Bazaine's wife died near Paris on the eve
of her departure lox. Mexico. Parisian gossip says
that she wail formerly a
. poor Jewish girl, of great
beauty, but as ignorant as beautiful, living in one of
the poorest wards of Algeirs, when she was met by
General Bazaine, then an officer in . the Zonaves

"The sloop Varina, owned by a colored man

Richard Coates was formerly a slave of Carpenter,
but made his escape to the Union lines. Coates was
taken - on shore and the women sent to jail as fugi

were tied by Carpenter, whoaentforhis rebel friends
to witness the murder of ids slave who had run

confident of an easy victory? The - battle raged for
four hours and a half with great' fihrg. Gen. Geary
had four guns of Knapp's Pennsylvania battery,
which opened with dreadful carnage-upon the foe.
True to his stereotyped plan °Vett:leek, the rebel
general hurled his columns upon the - centre, where
their ineffectual attempt to piercetheitne met with
severest punishment. Quickly changing his tactics,
he suddenly swept with full force upon the left;
but here again death and destructiouvese dealt out
to bim by men who at Gettysburg had' learned to
resist successfully his fiercest effortal , The enemy
then made a furious onslaught upon the battery,
and here the fight raged with unprecedented vio
mace.
So' close were the lines that shell malt not be
used:, By twos and threes the horses of-the battery
were shot down. The brave Lieutenant Geary, am
to the General, was killed by a shot through the
tenni& Atwell was wounded, Biajor BOlyie killed,
and General Greene, the brave hero of the - right at
Gettysburg, shot down, badly hurt. The , glitee of
musketry blinded the eyes of the combatantd: The
fight raged even to the tents of the Generslinom.-
mending, which were riddled with holes. General
Gear) 'a form was ever where the Eight raged hottest,
and his stentorian voice resounded along the slender
line with constant exhortation to duty. The cheers
of our boys, and the yells of the Confederates, were
at times even louder than the roar of musketry.
The moon shone out brightly over all, and poured
its rays of ghastly light upon the fearful field, re
vealing all its horrors. At last, when almost the
last round of ammunition was spent, victory re
warded this Spartan band, and the foe fled the field
lersving its dead and wounded, with many prisoner:,:
in our possession.
The example of eighteen hundred men successfully
resisting the attack at night of five times their num
her is without a parallel in the history of this war.
Great credit is due General Geary in wresting vie
tory from Each odds, where many would have per
mitted themselves to be surprised and slaughtered,
or unresistingly captured. General Greene has
added new laurels to his fame. His wound is not
considered mortal, though a dangerous one. The
command lost thirty-five killed and two hundred
wounded. Ae an offset to this, our burial detail in-
terred no leas than one hundred and thirty-six of
the bodies of the enemy left upon the field in their
precipitate flight. R.
TM Richmond Prisons.
Rev. James Hawley, an army chaplain, lately con
fined in Richmond, told the following in a lecture at
Piqua, Ohio:.
.
..... The third scene Witt ••ranspired in Libby prison
was in regard to. Col. Powell, who, in an engage
ment with the rebels, had bees shot through the
breast, and it was supposed that he woulddle. The'
rebels came upon him where he was lying in his
gore, and wanted to butcher him in cold blood. He
was sent to Richmond and put in the hospital.
He had been in the hospital about two weeks
when the man Turner took him down into the base
ment of the building, and opened a door of a dark,
'damp (sell, and,said to him, " Get in there." Colonel
Powell naid,."Sir, for what am Ito be put in there ?"
Turnensaid, " God. d—n yoki; get in there; you will
know before you aet out what you are in there for."
He went into•the cell, and we got word of it in the
upper part of the building, and one of our number
got down below, and Colonel Powell got a. chance to
send. a slip of paper to us, saying, "I am here in a
cell;, P. have nothing to read; I have only a few
leaves-of lllatthew, which I have got by heart. I
can hear you.pray and sing up there in the officers'
room. Pray louder and sing louder ; I want to hear
you."' .
Well,.wobegan t inquire how he came to be in
this. cell. Finally we asked Gem Winder why he
-Was intim call. The General replied that he did not
•'know, why it was, , and Gen. Jones knew nothing
about it,' and said he had given no such order. Our
.Government, after a time, got word — of it, and they
informed. the rebels that unless Col. Powell was
released from that cell, an officer of equal rank
'would be put in the same condition, and then Col.
Powell came out of the cell, having been put there
simply upon Turner's authority, and because he
had the power to do it. A truer, braver, and nobler
man never lived. A better soldier never drew a
'mord' in battle. His regiment is the 2cl Virginia
Cavalry.
Among our number in prison, we had one who
amused himself in sketching. He would sketch the
new. comer in his fleet observation of-the prison;
next as be sat down to meditate on his condition;
then with a rebel paper in his hands, reading rebel
Inews;.then disgusted with rebeldom as he laid him
self down to seek some repoae.' There' he lay,
stretched on the floor, perhaps without a blanket,
and a stick of wood for a pillow. .There he lay
down to repose. Next he made a discovery, and
.that was that there was one of those great gray
; backs at work, about as big as a large grain of wheat.
W e understood the grayback process pretty well.
The Castle Thunder poetry said that the lice were
so big.that they themselves became lousy.

In conclusion, Mr. Fitzgerald spoke in the higheate
terms of Mr. Smithers the Union candidate for
Congress. A lawyer of eminence, and perhapathe.
ablest chancery lawyer in the State, a man.ofethe:
noblest integrity, he deserved and Would receive a.
large majority of the votes of the State. Mr.rChas.
Binten'a "peace" policy was scathingly reviewed;
and his platform entirely demolished.
Dr. Worthington, of West Chester, followed Mr.
Fitzgerald in n speech of singular power and inst,
pressiveness. We regret that we have not roam for:.
a full report of it. Re gave g reat ,plessure..to
auditors.• Rev. Dlr. Quigley then took the, stand
and spoke for a half hour, greatly to the edineation
of the crowd. He had known "Ten-Cent Jimmy"
for forty years, but had always distrusted him. Al
though Mr . Quigley had been born and reared a
Demoerst,he could not vote for the Old Public Func
tionary. He knew that bad men would influence.
him, and through his cold-blooded supersaillona
fishness, harm would come to the ,best interests_ oil
the country. .
Just before adjournment, cheers wero.glyen for-
Linealn, Smithers, and the Union.. Altogether, the
meeting was a grand success. -
