" Here, with few exceptions, the boys on admission are turned on to the 
farm or garden to work, and, generally speaking, a marked improvement is 
soon visible as to their physical constitution. Morally speaking, we find that 
when the boys are most actively employed on outdoor work, as in hay-time 
and harvest, they are then most happy and settled, and few olfences occur ; 
altogether, outdoor work (if boys are thoroughly instructed and supervised) 
seems to have a softening effect upon their character. Many have attained 
considerable proficiency in the art of agriculture and gardening, and do 
a large amount of work on hire, and their employers generally insist upon 
their work being satisfactorily done. I consider this one of the best modes of 
training lads in field husbandry, and as fitting them for going out into the 
world skilled in such work. All household work (under proper supervision) 
is done by the boys, such as cooking, baking, and cleaning, also shirt making, 
washing, &c. This sort of work is mostly taken by the boys in turn.
