REFORM.

Au organization has been formed in Penn
sylvania, whose object appears to be to effect
a moral reform, by two-fold movement.
l. To provide attractive schools tor des'l
tute and neglected children; and :. 10 es'
tsblish reform school for criminals.
The aim in both oases is the same. 1t re-
coenizes industry and Intelligence as the
foundation stones of moral culture, and edu-
cation as the proper means to prevent CRIME
before it has been committed, aud also the
only means by which reformation can De
effected where persons have already been lea
into vicious habits. A school has already
been established in the city Of Erie.
