Various simple games are taught to ensure the propec control acd play of every muscle, while the whole aim is to arouve the interest and incite the child frequeatly by evea boisterous merriment to throw off the sloth and inertia which mark the daily life of the idiot. One hour before the school session is devoted to gym- mastic aad imitative exercises under the direction of an eMicient master. For this purpose, ladders and other ‘apparatus are prepared in the schoo! room. Besides these sports, useful labor in the garden has proved an able auxiliary in educating both body and mind. In performing these labors the smallest child has been taught to do something, whilst some of the larger boys have become so thoroughly acquainted with the myste- ries of general tillage, that they are fully competent to work profitably alone, or direct the awkward attempts of novices in the business. A few of the pupils have manifested, from the first, an interest in these pursuits, though the larger portion have needed all the encour- agement which tact and ingenuity could devise to instil @ love for labor. ‘The older boys have been also instructed in the care and maogement of horses, cattle, &., whilst the smaller ones have had their corresponding duty to perform—one to feed the poultry, another the rabbits, and a third the aquirrels, &c. A class of the boys have become so okilled in the use of tools, and confident in their owa powers, that they are abundantly qualified to learn ordinary trades, and are fully capable of supporting themselves well by the labor of their hands. There have, says the report, been two daily sessions ‘in the school room, the morning commencing at 9 A. M. and closing at 12; the afternoon from half past 2 P. M. till 6. Both sessions open and close with singing. When the pupils first entered the school, it required seme ‘time and much labor to induce them to behave with prope decorum, many having formed strongly rooted habits of perpetual chattering, whistling, singing, or, ‘more frequently still, @ constant restlessness, changing the position every minute. When a child had learned to sit still a few minutes, and $0 control all audible demonstrations, a great point was gained. Yet the next step was still more difficult, and @emandoi generally » much longer period of time, viz: to fix the attention upon a given object long enough to ria an idea of what it is, or to what use it may be ap- plied. A stranger to this art of teaching would, after # fow trials, have given up the task as hopeless, and the footed _— is Wryhadregd aed Lees cy att pa- eatly, by degrees, by » perseverence, and ju: eat the victory is finally gained. An now these same heed- teas, noiay, truly unthinking children sit quietly in their Places, each one busy at his task, and show by their earnest looks and? pleasant faces that they are thinking about what they are doing. Of course the same atrict- nesa of behavior is not required of any pupil that should be demanded from children of (oe capacity, yet the general order and industry visible during achool hours would compare favorably with our ordinary echools. Toaid tne teacher in his arduous work, all appli- snces which experience has proved beneficial are collect- nd. He teaches at first by objects principally. The pupils aot deal in abstractions; they wi the tangible thing itself before their eyes, to see it and handle it, be- vore they cam comprehend what you would teach taem. From objects the teacher proceeds to words. When poe word is really learned another is added, and then dnother, till some of the children can now tell the aames of quite a lacge aumber of words, define and spell them cor cectly—others atill can combine those words into sen- tences, write them upon the boards and read wenteares. Still farther on others have mastered t and combiaations of figures, and are becoming: A the art of writing and cyphering, till in the most ad- vanced class the pupils can pass a very creditable exami- matioa ia the rudiments of the various branches usually taugnt in the common, schools writing, areing, y, grammar, arithmetic and philosophy. Sing- fag has bean daily taught in the school and lias called forth moze universal iaterest than any other exercise. The power of music to soothe the avgry passioaa, or excite the dull mind to action has been (ully tested, whilst its refining, elevating influences have, perhaps, shown moce clearly here than with ordinary children, because so many sources of refinement and elevation are closed forever # there darkened minds. The quick sob has frequently testified to the depth of feeling stirred by the sad notes of a plaintive air, whilst the hearty laugh and grotesque dancing have shown equal sympathy with Kively quick music. As a proof of the success which has attended the aystem of instruction pursued in the institution at tre, the following account of the proficiency made by one of the pupils, wfll be read with much interest —The subject is a young woman of nine- teen years of age—physical developement perfect, frame large and ‘stout, head of ordinary food ro: portions, features regular, but eyes po Boag! aad it expressive. Having seldom mingled in society, her ma: ners were awkward, and she was wholly ignorant of t! rules of politeness. language was imperfect, indi tinct, rey delighted in asking questions, which were usually of a trifling character and often repeated.

Every possible exertion had been made to teach her to read and write, or instil any love of learning, but with- out success, so the attempt was abandoned and she was taught to sew, knit and do various kinds of housework well, with some supervision. She knew most of her letters, aad could spell out some words inan uncertain, hesi- tating manager.

Nowhere is there a pupil that isso grateful to you for a new thought as this Lecter that has never learned the use of thoughts at Thus the aystem proceeds. It begins with the simplest of all impressions—the very foundation. Here is # row ‘lar blocks of different sizes, and there is a rew of into which they respectively fit. The idiot is hol taught to put each in its appropriate place, and thus he makes his first comparison and gets hi idea of size. There is a set of red, green, blue, yellew, and white balls and cups. To fit each ball to its proper cup leads him to comprehension of differences in color. Another set of various shaped blocks teach him form. Whe: jas advanced thus far he can be taught to recognise a word printed on a card. But he recognises it aa you do a face, i its ger ponent parts. Upside the sameto him. By degrees, he is brought, first to know its meaning, then its separate letters, and then to trace it on the black board. has reached the thresbold on which ordinary children stand when they fi. first to school. Thenceforth his education is much like meral t, not by its com- down, or ent side up, it is all en he can do this. he theirs, only requiring infinitely more patience and perseverance and gentleness. Next you pass into the main sc room where two dozea or more are assembled. Some are sitting at their desks and books. At one end of the room is a class spelling simple words, and at the other another class nami , as they are pointed out, on an outline map. studies are like those of other schools, but not so the pupils. Time after time, do the listless'ears tura a and the dulleyes stare im vacant stupidity. But the teacher’s whole heart seems to be set on mak- ing them comprebend- rouses, questions, encourages, smiles, nods and commends, in rapi and with unflagging gentle patience. “Now ‘Quick, Fennie!” “Spell it, dear.” “Think, Harry, that’s a good boy!” “You can tell that, Kitty!”’—pat: ting one on the head, smiling encouragement to the and clapping ber hands to arouse the attention of for all the world as if they were sound asleep, and she wag bound to force the information into their drowsy ears and out of their sleepy mouths, in order to wake them up. Sound asleep they are, intellectually, and 40 they would remain, if her look and voice were not every moment reiterating something to arrest and tix their irregular, wandering train of thought. At last the slow, hesitating answer comes, given with a trembling cagerness of manner, but with the imper- fect lisp of early childhood, tor few of the idiots whea first brought here can speak distinctly. Great is Kddie’s triumph if the answer happens to be right. Besides the commendations of the teacher, the whole class beam with sympathetic exultation—for in these simple natures there is an implicit Srcak confidence and lack of jealousy, that we educated wise people are straagera to. Everything in the studies is made as simple as possi- ble. When the name of an Cone! is to be spelled, the object itself is shown, that they may understand the connection between the word and the thing. Abundance of pictures, maps, globes and models, illustrate the geo- graphical and historical lessons. In short, no pains are spared to strengthen the two faculties, especially weak in idiote—concentration and conception. Pass now into the last room. At the black board a boy of ten is copying an outline drawing with remarkable fidelity. Another will write his own name, and yours, if requested. Another is Ngerirend a difficult sum in division. Here is a girl of fourteen who cannot phon 3 the simplest word without more exertion than it would cost you to halloo actoxe the street, yet she will name t! different countries as you point them out, on an outline be, describe their inhabitants, productions end pag sical condition. There is a boy who, besides hia idiocy, was pronounced deaf and dumb from his cradle, and came here from the Aaylum for Mutes—yet in less than three years he has learned the elements of i grammar, and will parse you a sentence andgive you the syntax. And here is another little fellow with a par- alyzed arm, who can set down and work out an alge braic formula better than most boys who possess all their faculties. When the idiot can master grammar and mathematica, it is clear that he is an idiot no longer. He can carry out a train ef reasoning and reflection, sai Plato and Newton had no different process whereby to in the greatest philosophic truths. It seems strange, and yet it strikes you that somehow have a more staid and sober look than those whom you saw at first. But ao it is, Asthey ‘a mere animal nature for a human one, they gradually lose that perpetaal manifestation of glee so characteristic of idiocy. It is not that they have mads intellectual progress at the expense of physical, for they are as plump and rosy. It is{not that their developement, opening as it does, sources of enduring ani deep happi ness, have made them grave. But itis because a wise Providence partially compensates the poor unfortucate who lacks everything else, by the pleasing, ludicrous images that be es is vision, and dance in perpetual succession before his bewildered brain, ‘Ot course while the education of the intellect goes on, that of the moral sense is not neglected. Moral duties are inculeated at each step, and such spiritual truths taught as can be made comprehensible. The physical teaching and exercise is not the least im- portant part of the school. From being helpless, brutish almost in habits, they are taught to atans, to sit, to walk, to use their hands, to feed themselves, toteke care of their persons and clothes, and to conduct themselves like other reasoning beings. One exercise in which the boys take an especial delight is the military manual, which they through with at the word of command, drawa up ins ine, with mimic gui Sometimes the Jere oa is pat under command of one of their own num! Tn the summer they work in the garden, ke. ‘At mealtime they enter the dining room quietly and in order, and find and take their own seats, If you look ia upon the row, with their neat aprons, clean faces, and smoothly brushed hair, sitting patiently and ‘decorousiy until they are helped to the dishes before them, you would hardly believe that they belong to the wild, un- controllable class of beings that are commonly known as idiots ‘That the discipline ia firm and strict you nnot but | Ddelieve, on seeing these effects of it, and on watching the ready obedience yielded to the teachers, Yet that it is marked by parental gentleness and kindness cannot be doubted, when you see with what eagerness they comply with their teachers’ wishes, with what satisfaction they receive their approval, how they turn to them in every difficulty or fear, and what affectionate regard they ex- hibit for each and all of them. Oneof the teachers told us she found them (saving lack of comprehen: i to manage than other children of their age. | Society for the Reformation of Juvenile De- Mnquents. From the thirtieth anniversary report of this instita- tion, we learn thatthe number of children under its charge is 421, while the whole number received into the House of Refuge since its opening in 1825, is 6,370, For several years past the income bas been found more than sufficient to meet the expenses of maintaining the estad- lishmeat, and by means of a steady and vigilanteconomy a small surplus bas occasionally been realized. The ac- cumulation of these ravings caabled the society to pay for the siteon Ward’s Island, costing about $16,000, which was afterwards exchanged with the city for the convenient and extensive site on Randall's Island. The past year has been attended with some unusual expenses ‘wHead hae | copuected with the removal, and with a considerable ia- | crease @) z from the very high price of fusl sad fod, aad thee is a dedcieacy ia the lacgus of the year, te per pen pabrinreey wine riba thousand dollars por angum are collected from the excise fund of the city, theatie and circus licenses, and the Board of Education; and a ilar amount of revenue is obtained proceeds of the labor of the boys. For the required to erect this building, the acknowledg- ments of the managers are due alike to the city and State authorities. From the former they received au- thority to dispose of the site on Twenty-third from which we have just removed, whish been sold very advantageously, for the sum of about $170,000, From the latter they have received three appropriations, moun! im the agai to $126,000, and hope to acknowledge, at an early day, adcitional appropria- tion sufficient to defray the coat of erecting the female house. The House of Refuge is a achool of reformation for ju- venile delinquents, and admita only such inmates as are regularly committed by judges after trial, or by police ee upon examination. It retains by law the control of those entrusted to its care until they are of age, u| the obvious principle, that as, through the neglect of the parent or guardian, the child has entered upon his initiation in a vicious course of life, and has become a pest or a burden to the community, such per son has forfeited his natural claim to guardianship, and the State, to protect itself, stands in the place of a pa- rent, and takes care of, educates and disciplines the child for the same period that the parent would dis- charge the ssme du' ie From the report of the Treasurer it appears that the total expenses of the institution during the past year was $40,081 99, of which $7,000 were carried tempora- rily to the bi fund, The receipts for the same time amounted to $41,403 97. The number of inmates in the institution on the 1st of January, as we have stated, is 421, of whom 335 were white boys, 68 white girls, 10 colored boys, and 8 color. ed girls. During the past year 382 were indentured to the following trades and occupations:—To farmers, 151; housewifery, 50; whaling service, 1 poems Pe 18; cabinet mal , 4; ci 13; clerkships, 8; black- itha, 17; masons, 2: printer, 1; baker, 1; carriage akers, 3; tinamith, 1; hatter, 1; tailors, 2; painters, ; stone cutter, 1; P gtaptlecrany 8; butchers, 3; coo) 2; silver plater, 1; mariners, 4; wheelwrights, 2; chinist, 1; saddier, 1; manufacturers, 4; sash and blind maker, 1; stone polisher, 1; chair maker, 1; jewellers, 2; glasa cutter, 1. The whole number discharged during the same was 71, and 2 died. Of 327 who were received into the institution during the Peed 1854, 66 were of Amsrican Parentage, 207 Irish, 15 English, 30 German, 6 Scotch, 3 och, and 1 Polish. The boys are employed mostly in making chair seats, and manufacturing shoes, &0. ‘They make sud mend ali their own clothes, except the shirts, which are made by the girls, and make and repair all the shoes for the male and female departments. The girls make their own wearing apparel. and do all the washing for the house. The entire work of the institution is done by the children, State Lunatic Asylum. This institation is situated at Utica, and was founied about twelve years ago, having been opened for the ad_ mission of patients on the lith of January, 1843, In that period, 4,313 patients have been admitted within its walls, and of these 1,789 have been discharged recovered, 55 much improved, 640 improved, 868 unimproved, and 511 have died, leaving 450 remaining in the institution at the close of the year. Of the whole number of patienta (886) uuder treatment during the year, 164 were discharged recovered, 42 improved, 115 unimproved, and 65 have died. The expenses of the asylum are de- frayed by the board money received from the pay patients, of whom there are a considerable number, and also from an annuity received from the State. From the ‘Treasurer's report it appears that the receipts duriag the past year amounted to $89,421 20, and the expenses to $87,451 68, leaving a balance of $1,969 52. Of the whole number of patients admitted, 300, 44 males and 4 females were intemperate; and 85 males and 44 females were accustomed to the use of tobacco; 110 males and 84 females were not members of any religious society ; 18 had received an academic, and 259 a common school education; 72 could only read, and 41 had no edu- cation at all. ‘The following statistics showing the causes of derange- ment are interesting and instructive as betes, the dif- ferent agencies which are at work im producing insanity: Intemperauce and vice 45, vicious habits and indal- gences 25, popular errors 12, puerperal 14, domestic trouble 30; change of life 8, defective training 11, grief 14, malaria 2, phthisis pulmonalis 8, hereditary predis- posicion 15, predisposition from previous attacks 10, spilepay 7, fatigue and anxiety 4, business perplezi- 1b, ane ties me al irregularities 20, injuries of head 4, old age 6, religious excitement 1, want and destitution 5, seduction 1, tr any pe in love 1, excessive venery 1, loss of sleep 8, coup de soliel 2, fever 2, dysentery 2, uterine diseases 4, itt health 21, excessive labor 8, opium eat 2, imprisonment 2, ex- posure to heat 1, remorse 3, 1, intemper- ance of father 2, loss of property eal operations 1, severe contusions 1, nostalgia 1, prolonged tion 2, acute rheumatism 1, excessive depletion 1, apoplexy 1, unascertained 63—total 390.
