As the Rauhe Ilaus is now constituted, it is partly a refuge for morally neglected children, partly a board- ing-school for the moral and intellectual education of those children of the higher classes « hose vicious or un- manageable character makes them lit subjects for train- ing by such competent hand- as the Rauhe Han- super- intendents; lastly, a training-school for those who wish to become teachers or officials in bouses ol correction, hospitals, etc., in promotion ofthe objects ofthe Home Mission. This is an especially important enterprise. Its trained men are employed in positions of tru-l, such as prison directors, stewards of estates, and superintend- ents of charitable houses. It was founded in 1845, and is a kind of conventual house. Entrance into this in- stitution is limited to the age of twenty to thirty, lie- sides religious belief and g I character, freedom from
military duties, bodily and mental health, some scho- lastic acquirements, and a knowledge of some craft or of agriculture are required. The boarding-school was established in 1851, and at the same time a seminary was founded, in which twelve brethren of the Rauhe Hans are especially prepared for school-work. A print- ing-office, a bookbinder's shop, and bookselling, form part of the institution also. The last named has its principal depot at Hamburg, and from it trade with all Germany has been opened. The Ranhe Man- has brought out numerous publications, and all these enjoy a very large sale. A monthly periodical called /■"//«- gende Blatter, devoted to the Inner Mission, is printed, edited, and circulated by the Rauhe Hans. It may be added also that during the recent German wars the in- mates furnished the principal organizers of what was like our "Sanitary Commission" in the war with the South. Dr. Wichern is still living as we write (1878), hut he has retired from all activi connection with the Rauhe Hans. See Aimer. Education, Monthly, Jan. 1868, art. i: (Luth.) Ev. Quar.
