21 tant to the institution, than the institution is to the city. But there are yet many among our intelligent citizens, who have no adequate conceptions of the character and objects of this School. It is even confounded, by not a few, with the House of Correction, to which, however, it is scarcely more like, than the House of Correction is to what it should be; and a greater dissimilarity than this can hardly be imagined. Very grateful, therefore, shall I be, if I may do anything to correct any... errone- ous impressions respecting it; and to awaken in any minds a stronger interest in its prosperity and success. Even as it now is, this School is exerting a redeeming power, which should awaken in our community a uni- versal interest in the cause of maintaining and extend- ing its usefulness. But it is susceptible of great im- provements. What it has achieved, is but a strong in- dication of what it may do. There is, in truth, I be- lieve, no single means that can be devised, by which so much can be done to diminish the work of our criminal courts; so much to lessen the mimber of the inmates of our prisons and alms-houses, and the consequent ex- pense of these institutions; and so much at once for the salvation of those who are exposed to moral ruin, and therefore for g.eneral order and security, as by the School of Reformation, if it shall be made, what it is not only practicable, but what it will be the truest economy to make it.
