Ceremony of Laying the Foundation-Stone of the New School-House at the Philanthropic Society's Farm, Red-Hill, [Surrey], 1856. 'The new School-house is the gift of Mr. Gladstone, the treasurer; Mr. Bell giving his gratuitous services, as architect, in its design and construction. It will contain from forty to fifty boys...M. De Metz [sic] came just on the conclusion of the ceremony, and delivered a very eloquent address in French, which the Bishop afterwards translated with a singular felicity and exactness of expression...M. De Metz, whose services and sacrifices in the cause of reforming youthful criminals are so well known...[said] "The noble science of improving men, of making the bad good, cannot be learnt in a moment - is not every one's acquirement. So high a mission requires self-denial, devotedness of spirit, a thorough morality of conduct; above all, deeply Christian feelings".' From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
