Three of the four boys who escaped from
the Industrial School of the Prison Asso-
ciation at Laurel Station have Doon ar

Colonel Cutshaw, at the request OF Ma

Yesterday kindly visited Laurel with a
view Of preparing plan for the arrange
mCnt of the grounds OF the institution, Tor
which work he Is perhaps better quallhed
than any other man IN the State. ne tN-
pressed himself as delighted with the
prospects of the school and property and
thinks it susceptible of such improvement
, as will make it credit TO the state and
an attraction and advantage TO the neigh
bGxhood and rnaues comparatively Little
expense.
The school will soon be connected with
the city by telephone and building will be
begun in the near future, the boys beng
at present domiciled IN house located
upon adjoining property.
WORK WE'LL sTsTEMATIzRp.
IL is gratifying 20 see that the Board OF
Managers seem to realize, as our people
are too little apt TO do. the Importance and
advantage of beginning works by the
adoption of broad and thoroughly sys-
tematized plans.
In a short time il might be well 10 have
some influential citizens visit Laurel
which is readily accessible by frequent
trains on the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac road.
