| Evidence: | Schoolroom for juvenile males at Wandsworth Prison:
'One little pale-faced boy was reading his lesson to his kind-hearted teacher... One boy had copied from a Bible, which lay before him, a verse of the 26th chapter of Proverbs: "As snow in summer, as rain in harvest, so honour is not seemly for a fool!" He was a sharp-eyed lad of fourteen, with a finely formed countenance.' |
