Maine Industrial school for Girls.

Orders are now before the Legislature for
revoking the changes made last year, in re-
lation to the limit of ages of girls committed
to the school, and requiring cities and town.
from which girls are committed to pay a sum
not exceeding one dollar n week for their sup
port.
The managers did not ask for the change
in the law, last year; and they have taken no
action this year to secure a repeal of last
years law.
Whatever may be their opinion as TO the
wisdom Of these changes, they prefer simply
to state the facts in the case, and leave the
subject to the Judgment of the Legislature
They are mainly anxious, at present, to Sc
cure an appropriation sufficient to enable the
school to 90 on with its WORK without en-
barrassment.
The whole number of girls committed from
the beginning is 80. OF these Is were years
old or under
1t may be presumed, if the law shall allow
it, that about one fourth Of the commitments
will be of girls under ten years of age.
The average age of those now in school is
thirteen and little more In the last annual
Report of the Managers, page Is, it is stated
that 'of the eighty-two girls committed to
the school, seven or eight only have de-
cdedly bad record
1t may also be said that all these bad cases
are amongthe older girls, who had commenced
vicious career before they were sent to the
school.
The support Of the Industrial School by the
State, is opposed by some, on the ground
that the people will not consent to be taxed
for the support of such an institution with
accommodations sufficient for all the neglect
ed girls in the State who need such a refuge
But it is certainly an important object to
save some of these waits of the State, even il
the whole cannot be saved.
The Massachusetts, Industrial School has
four buildings capable of accommodating four
times as many as our school in Hallow ELL
The four buildings in Massachusetts,, are sell
dom all full.
The Connecticut Industrial School has
three buildings sufficient to accomm odate about
one hundred girls.
If the accommodations of the Maine In
dustrial School were increased to twice the
present capacity, the school would accommo-
date all who would probably be sent to it for
some years to come.
1t is fair question of State economy, to
consider how much the neglected girls are
likely to cost the State, if they are not sent
to the Industrial School or to some similar
refuge. A.
