dc.description.abstract | It would be needless to point out the advantages of, or
the necessity for, educating the great masses; and knowing, as I
do, that there are amongst our members many men who, from their
position as directors of railway and other companies and as proprietors
of large manufacturing establishments, possess considerable
power and influence, I consider it especially desirable to bring
under the consideration of this Society some details connected with
a system of factory education which has been attempted by the
proprietors of Price's Patent Candle Company, and has been productive
of the most desirable results. As I have already said, I
think the proper feeling of consideration for our humble fellowmen
is very generally diffused amongst those possessing the greatest
power for good; and I have no doubt that there are not a few
heads of large establishments who only require to have a plan for
the moral and social improvement of their work people suggested
to them and proved to be successful, in order to adopt it. I trust
that this paper, by attracting the attention of such men to a course
of education as connected with factories and factory concerns, will
effect much direct and immediate good. | en |
