VERMONT REFORM SCHOOL.
WATERBURY, May q, 1866.
To the Judges Of The State Courts and other MAJ.
istrates hapiHg cogHtzance Of Criminal Causes
The Commissioners Of The Vermont Reform
School desire that the following questions in re-
gard 70 youth sentenced TO the School be answered
by the Courts, and with the answers brought by
the officers committing them;
!. Name and age OF the boy, and his offence
=. Where bornP
5. Are the beys own parents living?
4. Residence OF parents and their occupation3
.. Fathers name
6. Has the boy perfect vision?
z. Is he of sound intellect?
3. Has he sufficient bodily strength TO be the
subject OF school discipline and Instruction.
.. Is he subject to epileptie or other ftsY
10. Has he had the small pox or been yaccinatedp ?
ANY other facts tending TO throw light on the
history oi tue boy, or that could be otherwise USE
hl TO US, and assist us in administering education
and discipline to those committed to us, are res
pectsully solicited
We are aware that the law requires no such
returns to be made but the importance, and even
the necessity, Of our being possessed of the nor-
nation implied IN the above questions, in order
properly 10 qualify us to deal with the subjects
committed TO US, is Obvious
IL Is obvious, also, that in settling the question
OF the fitness OF youth for place in the Reform
school, regard should be had to his physical as
well as moral, condition.
Inc Commissioners desire also to say that in
their Judgment the maximum age, fixed by law
Tor offenders liable TO be sentenced 10 the Reform
School, is too high. We think that it ought not
TO be above 10 or l6, and we respectfully, but
earnestly, request of the Judges and other magis-
