To cheer them still further, I will tell them — for I may never have a fitter opportunity — of the splendid success of the industrial schools in Ireland, 246 , THE MARKET. established in 1850 by Ellen Woodlock, — a name destined to stand honorably by the side of Florence Nightingale ; nay, worthy to precede it, in so far as preventive measures are always a greater good than remedial. Mrs. Ellen Woodlock has powers of state- ment, according to the " London Times," equal to her extraordinary powe...rs of execution ; and it is from her own account of the work that I select what I have to offer you. In 1850, Mrs. Woodlock had placed her only child at school, and began to look for something to do. A lady, who had started an industrial school on a gift of $250 from a clergyman, asked for her help. She pro- posed to teach young girls to do plain sewing. Very soon, there were more seamstresses than customers ; but God did not fail to open a way. One poor, half- blind creature — very poor and very earnest — failed in the plain sewing, and was put to make cabbage nets.
