Then, as to what the Ashworths have done for the benefit of their workpeople. Schooling, by means of mutual instruction classes, was in operation from the first; but about the year 1825, when the works were greatly enlarged, and the population was considerably increased, a day school was opened for children, which was used as an evening school for young men, as well as for a Sunday-school. The continued extension of the works led to an enlargement of the school accommodation; and while this was being provided, arrangements were made for a news-room, library, and for the performance of divine worship on Sundays. A cricket-ground was also provided for the use of young people.

白话
阿什沃思家族不仅雇工，还主动投资改善工人生活。他们从一开始就办互教班，1825年工厂扩大后开设日校，兼作夜校和主日学校。随着工厂继续扩展，又增设阅览室、图书馆，并在周日安排宗教活动，还建了板球场供年轻人使用。这些做法说明，雇主若愿意把部分利润用于教育、文化和休闲设施，能提升工人素质和生活质量，间接也有利于企业稳定。
