Kansas City that number. And that is
only twenty years away. That great
Commonwealth is merely in its infancy.

dcnsely populated it will contain pop

The Missouri Reform School.

Some interesting correspondence haA
recently passed between Attorney Gen
eral John NJ. Wood and Circuit Court
Judge Silas Woodson, Of st. Joseph,
which resulted in the Attorney General
ruling that only boys who have been
regularly convicted Of felony and mis-
demeanor can be admitted to the State
Reform School at Boonville. Judge
Woodson held this, and the ruling Of
the Attorney General sustained him in
the position he took. The Thirty-tifth
General Assembly passed an enactment
which provided forumaking the reform
atory refuge for homeless boys, but
this, of course, is invalidated by the
ruling of the Attorney General, which
Is important, as under it the reform
school Becomes purely penal IN its func-
tions. Hereafter none but boys con-
victed as before stated can have admis-
sion to the institution.
