In 1/80, Robert Raikea, an English philan thropist, collected a few ^factory chil dren from the streets of Gloucester, England, and hired ^achers to instrnot them in moral knowledge.

The archins who came under tho in structions of Raikea* teachers improved both in conduct and morals, eren as modem urchins do today For a time the early Sunday Schools united secular with religious training. The spread of elementary education lias made this custom almost obsolete, though it is still carried on to a certain extent by Quakers.
