By this institution they would at once promote virtue and prevent vice."-- _Dr.Lushington_.
"The real fact is, that the character of all mankind is formed very early--much earlier than might be supposed: at the age of two or three years, dispositions were found in children of a description the most objectionable.

In these schools the principles of mutual kindness and assistance were carried as far as could well be conceived, and it was most delightful to regard the conduct of the children towards each other.

Instead of opposition, they displayed mutual good-will, inculcated to the greatest degree, so as to destroy in the minds of the children that selfishness which was the bane of our nature.

Such effects appeared almost to realize the golden age, for the children appeared always happy, and never so happy as when attending the schools."-- _W.
