Girls Reform School.

SAAA0 AS0ASAAAA eS~AeSSe'
The biennial report of Mr.. l.. d.
Lewelling, Superintendent of this
school which is located in Cedar
township, Lee county, is before us.
The girls received since the opening
of the school numbered eighty-four.
OF these, twelve attained majority
and were discharged; twenty-five
were granted leave Of absence Of
whom eight returned; eight ran
away of whom three returned. Pres
cnt number at school fifty-three.
The largest number are fourteen, flf-
teen and sixteen years old. We make
the following extracts from MIR. LIS
report:
"The school has been made an im-
pOrtant feature Of the work. The
girls have been divided into two
grades or classes, grade one attend
ing school four hours in the forenoon
and grade two the same time in the
afternoon thus each girl receives
four hours schooling daily and in
struction in some special branch of
household industry. 1t is but hum
BILE praise to the efficiency Of our
teacher, Miss Ollie Mace, to say that
we are delighted with the success of
the school. Only those who have
known the very meagre attainment
Of girls upon entering the school can
realize the rapid progress Of many in
their studies and we are glad to say
the school room is place of attrac-
ton, and study real pleasure rather
| than kind of mechanical drudgery.
School is in session during the whole
year except two weeks vacation in
the Spring and Fall. During the
long evenings of Fall and Winter
seasons the girls have kept among
themselves an interesting Library So
ciety and so entertaining has it be-
come that all the members of the
household are pleased to be guests on
these important occasions. Other
evenings are also occupied very FREE
qnently by the officers OF the institu-
ton in select reading, social talks,
writing schools, prayer meetings
and various Other exercises.
EMPLOYMENT.
The work of the institution is done
by the girls with such help and in
struction as they may receive from
those having charge of the different
departments. Many Of the girls are
too small to do much work, this be-
ing care rather than help. Much
moro also might be accomplished by
the aid of machinery. On this sub
ject, however, we have maintained
that it is better for the girls just to
learn to work with their hands, and
thus we propose no machinery except
one diiapidated sewing machine.
In addition to other household du-
ties the girls manufacture all their
own clothing, including numberless
pairs >Qf cotton and wooden hose.
Bed clothes and hair weaving and
tho making Sf various articles Of fam
cy work are FIXTURES recently intro
duced in Mrs. C6Ains' department,

A CONFLICT AMONG Committees.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--The Com
mittee on Expenditures in the Navy
Department called upon the Secreta-
ry of the Navy this morning and in
formed him of their purpose to make
a thorough investigation Of the ac-
counts OF the Department under the
administration Of Secretary Robson
and especially into the transfer of
funds appropriated for the pay of the
navy into other channels. Secretary
Thompson assured the committee
that he would cbeerfully give them
every facility. The committee al
so informed him that they desir-
ed to recommend reduction in
the expenditures of the department
whenever it may be found practical
BILE, and tho Secretary responded that
he would be happy to cooperate.
A conflict of jurisdiction regard
ing the proposed investigation is
likely to arise between this committee
and the committee on Naval Affairs,
Of which Whitthorne, of Tenn, is
chairman. Whitthorne and Willis
are members of these committees
The committee on appropriations
may also claim Jurisdiction. The
matter was discussed in the Naval
Affairs committee this morning and
there is a probability that it will be
brought before tho House.
