DR. CRANAGE’S undeviating aim is to train the boys committed to his care,
not only in mental acquisitions, but in their whole moral and physical
being; believing, that as much pains and unremitting attention are
required for the latter as the former. Attention is given not only to
the studies which the boys pursue, but to their recreation, games, and
amusements—upon the principle that almost every incident affords
materials for improvement, and opportunities for the formation of good
habits.
His main object in the intellectual culture is to teach the boy to think;
without omitting the positive work and hard study to brace “the nerves of
the mind” for the making of a scholar.
The system of rewards and punishments is peculiar, with the general
absence of corporal punishment; but the experience of more than
twenty-four years has fully proved its efficiency.
Above all, his desire is to bring them to Christ as their Saviour, and
then to help them to walk like Christ, as their example.
Dr. Cranage finds the most wonderful difference in the progress and
conduct of the boys committed to his care according to the measure of
moral support he receives from the parents and guardians of the boys. He
earnestly solicits their hearty and constant co-operation in his anxious
labours.
