32 2 Public Establishment for 



the general introduction throughout the country of the 

 measures adopted in Munich for employing the poor. 

 To remove this difficulty, the different towns and com- 

 munities who are desirous of forming establishments for 

 giving employment to the poor are invited to send 

 persons properly qualified to the house of industry at 

 Munich, where they may be taught, gratis, spinning, in 

 its various branches, knitting, sewing, etc., in order to 

 qualify them to become instructors to the poor on their 

 return home. And even instructors already formed, 

 and possessing all the requisite qualifications for such 

 an office, are offered to be furnished by the House of 

 Industry in Munich to such communities as shall 

 apply for them. 



Another difficulty, apparently not less weighty than 

 that just mentioned, but which is more easily and more 

 effectually removed, is the embarrassment many of the 

 smaller communities are likely to be under in procuring

 mantifactured, by the poor. The yarn, for instance, 

 which is spun by them in a country town or village, far 

 removed from any manufacture of cloth, may lie on 

 hand a long time before it can be sold to advantage. 

 To remedy this, the House of Industry at Munich 

 is ordered to furnish raw materials to such communities 

 as shall apply for them, and receive in return the goods 

 manufactured, at the full prices paid for the same arti-

 country ; but every encouragement is held out to induce 

 individuals to exert themselves in this laudable under-
