Cr,m,nnl Reform .

Tho Commonwealth OF Massachusetts hrs =
State Reform School, at Westboroukh, Ia that
state, where youthful offenders are seat for
reformation ~ well a. punishment The In.
stitution has lately been burned down BY the
incendiary act OF one of the pupils, which has
been the occasion Of message from the Gov
ernor TO the Legislature on the management
and operation VI the school, The facts set
forth In this message, as detailed by the New
York Tyibsat. show that tbs Reform SCHOOL,
which, during the twelve years Of It's exist
ence, has received 2,ioo boys as pupils, OF
whom about 600 rrnnained in IL when 1t was
burned, has furnished from among its gradu-
ates nearly = tenth part of the consicts now In
the State Prison of Massachusetts,. OF late
about three hundred boys annually leave the
school, forty or fifty of whom terminate their
career in the State Prison, for which Uniyer.
sity this seems TO be preparatory SCHOOL,
This result, says the TRIBUNE, is the more re-
markable from the fact that, out of the total
number admitted into the school, rather NOR.
than half have been sent there not upon char.
ges of actual criminality, but upon charges o.
stubbornness, idleness and yagrancy-theg rea
portion on the charge of stubbornness.
The offense of " stubbornness " is ore which
has never been made ground for commitment
TO prison in any other State butliberty Lowing
Massachusetts, and the result OF converting
stubborn boys into downright rogues and ras
calls by shutting them up with thieves and
other criminals, might have been foreseen from
the beginning We have always bought tina
"stubbornness " was regarded as virtue In
that latitude. the great complaint Of THEODORE
PARKER Il Co being that there was not "baek
bone'' enough among the politicians Ho"
can they expect the sons 10 obey paterna
authority, when they are teaching the parents
