 floor察and told them of the wonderful Salvation of God。  This was Greetah察and the Englishman would have given a great deal if he could have rescued her from this miserable lot。  But this was impossible察and with reluctance he bid her farewell。

It was an English home。  By a glowing fire one night a man sat alone察and in his imaginings there came up the vision of the girl he had met in the Hottentot's Kraal察and wondering whether any way of rescue was possible。  Then he remembered reading察since his return察the following paragraph in the War Cry此

;TO THE DISTRESSED。  The Salvation Army invite parents察relations察and friends in any part of the world interested in any woman or girl who is known察or feared to be察living in immorality察or is in danger of coming under the control of immoral persons察to write察stating full particulars察with names察dates察and address of all concerned察and察if possible察a photograph of the person in who the interest is taken。

;All letters察whether from these persons or from such women or girls themselves察will be regarded as strictly confidential。  They maybe written in any language察and should be addressed to Mrs。 Bramwell Booth察101察Queen Victoria Street察London察E。C。;  ;It will do no harm to try察anyhow察─exclaimed he察 the thing haunts me as it is察─and without further delay he penned an account of his African adventure察as full as possible。  The next African mail carried instructions to the Officer in Command of our South African work。

Shortly after察one of our Salvation Riders was exploring the bush察and after some difficulty the kraal was discovered the girl was rescued and saved。  The Hottentot was converted afterwards察and both are now Salvation Soldiers。

Apart from the independent agencies employed to prosecute this class of enquiries察which it is proposed to very largely increase察the Army possesses in itself peculiar advantages for this kind of investigation。 The mode of operation is as follows此

There is a Head Centre under the direction of a capable Officer and assistants察to which particulars of lost husbands察sons察daughters察and wives察as the case may be察are forwarded。  These are advertised察except when deemed inadvisable察in the English ;War Cry察─with its 300000 circulation察and from it copied into the twenty´three other ;War Crys; published in different parts of the world。  Specially prepared information in each case is sent to the local Officers of the Army when that is thought wise察or Special Enquiry Officers trained to their work are immediately set to work to follow up any clue which has been given by enquiring relations or friends。

Every one of its 10000 Officers察nay察almost every soldier in its ranks察scattered察as they are察through every quarter of the globe察may be regarded as an Agent。  A small charge for enquiries is made察and察where persons are able察all the costs of the investigation will he defrayed by them。


SECTION 8。REFUGES FOR THE CHILDREN OF THE STREETS。

For the waifs and strays of the streets of London much commiseration is expressed察and far more pity is deserved than is bestowed。  We have no direct purpose of entering on a crusade on their behalf察apart from our attempt at changing the hearts and lives and improving the circumstances of their parents。

Our main hope for these wild察youthful察outcasts lies in this direction。  If we can reach and benefit their guardians察morally and materially察we shall take the most effectual road to benefit the children themselves。

Still察a number of them will unavoidably be forced upon us察and we shall be quite prepared to accept the responsibility of dealing with them察calculating that our organisation will enable us to do so察not only with facility and efficiency察but with trifling cost to the public

To begin with察Children's Creches or Children's Day Homes would be established in the centres of every poor population察where for a small charge babies and young children can be taken care of in the day while the mothers are at work察instead of being left to the dangers of the thoroughfares or the almost greater peril of being burnt to death in their own miserable homes。

By this plan we shall not only be able to benefit the poor children察if in no other direction than that of soap and water and a little wholesome food察but exercise some humanising influence upon the mothers themselves。

On the Farm Colony察we should be able to deal with the infants from the Unions and other quarters。  Our Cottage mothers察with two or three children of their own察would readily take in an extra one on the usual terms of boarding out children察and nothing would be more simple or easy for us than to set apart some trustworthy experienced dame to make a constant inspection as to whether the children placed out were enjoying the necessary conditions of health and general well´being。 Here would be a Baby Farm carried on with the most favourable surroundings。


SECTION 9。INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS。

I also propose察at the earliest opportunity察to give the subject of the industrial training of boys a fair trial察and察if successful察follow it on with a similar one for girls。  I am nearly satisfied in my own mind that the children of the streets taken察say at eight years of age察and kept till察say twenty´one察would察by judicious management and the utilisation of their strength and capacity察amply supply all their own wants察and would察I think察be likely to turn out thoroughly good and capable members of the community。

Apart from the mere benevolent aspect of the question察the present system of teaching is察to my mind察unnatural察and shamefully wasteful of the energies of the children。  Fully one´half the time that boys and girls are compelled to sit in school is spent to little or no purpose nay察it is worse than wasted。  The minds of the children are only capable of useful application for so many consecutive minutes察and hence the rational method must be to apportion the time of the children察say察half the morning's work to be given to their books察and the other half to some industrial employment察the garden would be most natural and healthy in fair weather察while the workshop should be fallen back upon when unfavourable。

By this method health would be promoted察school would be loved察the cost of education would be cheapened察and the natural bent of the child's capacities would be discovered and could be cultivated。 Instead of coming out of school察or going away from apprenticeship察with the most precious part of life for ever gone so far as learning is concerned察chained to some pursuit for which there is no predilection察and which promises nothing higher than mediocrity if not failurethe work for which the mind was peculiarly adapted and for which察therefore察it would have a natural capacity察would not only have been discovered察but the bent of the inclination cultivated察and the life's work chosen accordingly。


It is not for me to attempt any reform of our School system on this model。  But I do think that I may be allowed to test the theory by its practical working in an Industrial School in connection with the Farm Colony。  I should begin probably with children selected for their goodness and capacity察with a view to imparting a superior education察thus fitting them for the position of Officers in all parts of the world察with the special object of raising up a body of men thoroughly trained and educated察among other things察to carry out all the branches of the Social work that are set forth in this book察and it may be to instruct other nations in the same。


SECTION 10。ASYLUMS FOR MORAL LUNATICS。

There will remain察after all has been said and done察one problem that has yet to be faced。  You may minimise the difficulty every way察and it is your duty to do so察but no amount of hopefulness can make us blink the fact that when all has been done and every chance has been offered察when you have forgiven your brother not only seven times but seventy times seven察when you have fished him up from the mire and put him on firm ground only to see him relapse and again relapse until you have no strength left to pull him out once more察there will still remain a residuum of men and women who have察whether from heredity or custom察or hopeless demoralisation察become reprobates。  After a certain time察some men of science hold that persistence in habits tends to convert a man from a being with freedom of action and will into a mere automaton。  There are some cases within our knowledge which seem to confirm the somewhat dreadful verdict by which a man appears to be a lost soul on this side of the grave。

There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work察so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them察and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion。  When a human being has reached that stage察there is only one course that can be rationally pursued。  Sorrowfully察but remorselessly察it must be recognised that he has become lunatic察morally demented察incapable of self´government察and that upon him察therefore察must be passed the sentence of permanent seclusion from a world in which he is not fit to be at large。  The ultimate destiny of these poor wretc
