25. Manufactory of Apprentices——A benevolent institu- 
tion has been formed in Paris, for the purpose of rescuing 
from idleness, misfortune and vice, the crowd of little mnie 
among the stockholders. To ‘ite the institution 
eames weight and celebrity, an honorary council has been 
ded, chosen from the most distinguished men, united in 
the national Rie ee eames the magistracy or public admin- 
istration. 
The stockholders’ who only wish to place their funds tem- 
porarily in the institution, may withdraw them at certain pe- 
riods with ordinary commercial interests, or if they remain 
they will be entitled to whatever dividend shall arise from 
the profits of the manufacturing and commercial operations of 
the company. ‘Those who subscribe from motives of be- 
nevolence, will be at liberty to bestow their profits on the 
apprentices of the establishment—or if they choose, on some 
one whom they may wish to promote at the time of his exit 
from the institution. The most exact account is kept of all 
those appropriations. Each stockholder has a right to pre- 
sent an apprentice for each of his shares for gratuitous ad- 
mission into the institution. Nothing is undertaken in the 
work-shops but by the advice of the council, the more ex- 
perienced members of which watch over the progress of 
each branch of industry. The benefit of the instruction 
professed in this general manufactory will not be confined to 
the indigent. The children of parents above want will be 
received as mies pupils in the work-shops for a moderate 
contributi 
The aperations which have constituted the daily work of 
the apprentices of this useful establishment, are — bind- 
ing and ruling, cabinet making, j joinery, tanning, various ob- 
jects in the art of pairting, gilding and enki prepara- 
tion of mastic, varnish, &c. &e.
