"Though their religion is of a gloomy and enthusiastic cast, it makes them tame and sober. I have not heard either of a house or a head broken, of a pocket picked or any flagrant crime since I came here.

"As Scotland has always been honourably distinguished by the superior education of the lower classes of her inhabitants, so this important article has had considerable attention paid to it in Glasgow, by institutions of various kinds: many of which, at the same time that they provide for the instruction of the youth, also provide for their comfortable clothing... Hutcheson's Hospital (...) under the management of the Magistrates, Council and Ministers, clothes and educates 48 boys, for a course of four years; during which time, 32 of them have an annual pension of L.3 each, and all of them, at leaving the school, are completely clothed, and bound apprentices to different trades. -- Statistical Account of Scotland, vol.V, 1793 http://www.theglasgowstory.com/image.php?inum=TGSA01086
