BURNHAM ENQUIRY.
A BELIEVER IN THE EOD. CuuisTcnuacii, September 14. At the Burnham inquiry to-day, Dr, Syraes, medical officer, said more medicine was used at Burnham Hum at the Deaf and Dumb Institution, though Burnham boys enjoyed better physical health. He advocated the 6ub-matron being a trained nurse, able to sift the serious from trivial and malingering oases. The accommodation for one hundred boys, half of them young men, was totally inadequate. The reformatory should be on a fertile island, like JEawau, not on poor soil like Burnham. Ho preferred a training ship to a land reformatory, The punishment fer the smaller boys was not too severe, but that for older boys was insufficient. They should be secured to a table or triangle when undergoing corporal punishment, which should be swift, not prolodged, He favored shot drill and the other forms of punishment inllicted at naval and military places at Home for adoption at Burnham.
