A Reform School.

The establishment OF State heiolHi
School for Juvenile offenders has been
under consideration for months past, and
it is generally considered necessity
demand by our rapid increase in popula-
ton. Many of the most prominent men
of the State favor it and earnestly desire
that school Of this character be estab-
lished. An institution of this kind will
| be of immense good in saving the young
from utter ruin. 4 boy between the
ages of twelve and sixteen years will
rarely ever reform by serving out term
of sentence in the County Jail.
| The subject will be brought before the
Legislature dnring the present session
and we look for prompt action by the
members of both Houses who are doubt
less already convinced of the necessity
of school of this kind in our growing
State.-Ccdur Fats Gazette.
