Georgia B tryiag to solve this same problem, aud brave m~n and w6 meu are making noble fight irr those poor creatures, who may yet be saved through reiormatory, but who are hope- les.ly gone il they spend their youth ia the darkness aud shadows of the prisons aud with the most depraVe0 and abandoned men and women as teachers and companions.
 Every Alahamian who loves our state, every newspaper which has the material, ], finaUcial, religious and social interest ot Al4hama at heart, should assist Miss Tut wiler in her noble effort for reformatory for youthful criminals.
