TEACH THE BOYS WORK
Rev. j. D. Botkin Offers Suggestions on
the Reform School

Rev. j. D. Botkin Offers Suggestions on
the Reform School.
To the Editor of the STATE JOURNAL:
Among the many insti buttons of Kan
sas of which her citiz ems may Justly
feel proud, the reform school, located in
this city, is entitled to the highest con-
sideration. That which touches and in
fuences humanity in its formative period
is of the utmost importance to the present
and to future generations. This school
had to do with boyhood. Its inmates
range from six years old upwards. Many
of them are there as result of a failure
of house government and training. A
few are there doubtless because of in
herited chad blood" A majority are
there because of the environments.
Fourteen out of fifteen are from the
cities and towns. That tells the tale of
environment
These boys are being refully
trained in ordinary school work, in
punctuality, in orderly conduct and in
general methodical life; bit sooner or
later they will be released, when they
will drop back into their old environ
ments and ten chances to one will be-
come, after all, the class from which our
army of criminals is recruited. This
may not be entirely obviated, but l am
deeply impressed that some chances
mlRnL O0 uldQ0 III tn0 Scoops anu conduct
of the school that would inure greatly
to the advantage of the boys sent to it
The name should be changed to Indus
trial school. This would remove the
stigma. 1t can only be blighting to the
character and life of a boy to hold him
up before the public as a criminal, when
he is what he is simply through the in
fuences temporarily surrounding him.
Let the few older boys, the young men if
you please, who are criminally inclined
be sent to the reform school. These
should not be associated with those
younger and less criminal in disposition.
Nor should they be sent to the peniten-
tiary to associate with the older and
| hardened criminals.
! The school should be industrial in
character as we'll as name Sufficient
land should be purchased to open up a
| good farm. Shops should be built for
| the different trades In this way the
boys could be taught useful trades, care
being taken to study their aptitudes and
tastes Nothing is more conducive to
the formation of strong and right char
acter than sustained useful employment.

what "103" was aud the motion prevailed
The result was that none of the suscepti-
bic senators had been Influenced and the
bill passed the senate with the same in
difference as though it vacated High
Priest addition to the city of Jerico
The bill is an important one, providing
in substance as follows:
That all arrangements, advisory or
otherwise, contracts, combinations and
agreements between insurance compa-
MES, or agents and representatives of
insurance companies, made with a view
or which tend to fix, determine and con-
troll the cost or rate of insurance upon
real and personal property in the state of
Kansas, are hereby declared to be against
public policy, unlawful, and void.
"That it shall be the duty of the sup
erintendent of insurance of this state,
when satisfactory evidence shall be pro-
duced before him that any insuran ce
company authorized to do business in
this state has violated the provisions of
section one of this act, to revoke the
license granting to such company the
right to do business in the state of Kan
sas.
"Any agent or representative of any
insurance company doing business in the
state of Kansas violating section 1 of this
act shall be guilty of misdemeanor.
and on conviction shall be fined not less
than twenty-five dollars, or be confined
in the county jail not to exceed thirty
days, or both"
