&C. Showalter, Superintendent Of the
West Virginia Reform School. at Prunty-
town. was registered at the Stamm hotel,
last evening. Mr.. Showalter is here on
business pertaining to the schools inter
ests. He talked enthusiastically OF MS
school to O reporter Of the REGISTER. Inc
school is in every way prospecting, ana IL
has now been ia successful operation Ior
three years.
There are now eighty-seven boys in the
institution, in age from 10 10 years Four
teen of these are colored. These colored
children are kept separate from the whites,
and are also educated 10 their own apart
ments. Parkersburg sends the most boys
IA; next Wheeling. with 6, and third comes
Grafton. Thirty-two counties OF the State
are represented.
A bin for the establishment OF an indus
trial and similar school for girls IN the
State limits was before the Legislature,
bvt was killed on its second reading MIR.
Showalter said
'sPersons favorable, in all respects, to-
ward the new movement, helped 10 defeat
the bjll as they feared, by passing such
bill, influence would be drawn from the
institution for boys. l believe that as soon
as the present school is fully equipped, the
school for girls will be established. As 1t
is at present find the buildings entirely
too small for the school With its present
capacity few more boys can be taken. l
think had the accommodations Of the school
been ample there would now &c one
hundred end fifty boys there"
For the enlargement OF the institution
as coon as possible, Mr.. Showalter mas
asked the Legislature for an appropriation
of S50,O00 for buildings, and 5000 for
running expenses. He hopes the appro'
priations will be granted, and one extra
large building be erected during the COM
ing summer
Regarding the school in general Mr..
Showalter said
at is the intention to amend tho present
laws of the school by having the pupil sub
iect to the Board and not TO be committed
for any certain length Of time oy those
sending him. We have been much trou-
bled in this way, and we want to keep the
BOY till lie is reformed.
1--WE teach three MISUNDERSTANDING,
printing and shoemaking The boy is
given his preference. About twenty-five
bows usually work on the farm, which has
one hundred and twenty-siX acres. All the
scholars go to school in the forenoon.
~ might say there is an erroneous opin-
ion regarding the institution. They think
it some sort OF a penitentiary, while IL IS
more like home having well regulated
family. 1t is a fact we do not nave as
many puuishments accordingly as our pub
lie schools.
