GIRLS AT RAEDALL'S ISLAND.

One of the changes recommended by the State
Board of Charities in the RandalPs Island
House of Refuge is the removal of all girls from
the institution and the concentration of its
efforts on the reformation of boys. This is a
policy advocated before now by trustees of the
House of Refuge. and believe it is also
favored by the Superintendent; but there have
been some questions Of practicability and even
of the legality of excluding girls under the
charter which have so far prevented action.
The possibility of securing consent of the super
vising State authorities, and even legislation,
should that appear necessary, points to the
present as a favorable time to strike for this
improvement.
About one-seventh Of the inmates OF the
House of Refuge are girls The accommoda-
tions at Randalrs Island are not sufficient for
the proper classification either of the boys or
girls, but by the removal of the latter room
would be secured for more minute division of
the boys according 10 their age and character
This is extremely important in making an in
stitution for delinquent boys reformatOry and
not nursery of crime. The foundation of the
House of Refuge was due TO the realization of
this truth by few men more enlightened than
their fellows at the beginning of the last cen
tury. Before that children who broke the law
were sent TO the common prison. This method
OF e8peinng devils from the yOuInIul lnlnd
naturally resulted in making homes for seven
other devils worse than the first. The House
of Refuge has separated youths from expert
criminals and made great numbers of them
self-respecting men and women. Its officers
however, are always confronted by that same
problem of evil companionship for compara-
lively innocent and clean minded children. They
do their best 10 protect the younger inmates
from bad company, but as the calls on the insti-
tuition have grown this has become more diff
cult and the addition TO their resources for
classification OF the Fairgrounds and quarters
now occupied by the girls would be a real boon
TO the boys.
Even regardless OF the question of room, the
girls ought 10 be removed. They are far more
difficult TO deal with than the boys. and. sepa-
| rated though they from the latter their
presence in the same institution is a complIca-
tion which other reformatories among them the
old Western House OF Refuge now the State In
dustrial School at Rochester have found il de-
sirabie 10 avoid Moreover, the girls should he
removed from Randalls Island for their own
sake. The little girls even more than the little
boys need protection from contact with vicious
elders, and the older girls in such an institution
are likely 10 surpass the boys in yiciousness
The facilities at Randalrs Island are quite in
adequate for such protection, and they should

THE PALISADES.

The general state of feeling in the New-YOrk
Legislature with respect TO the project for pre-
serving the Palisades has not been clearly dis
closed. but IL is reported from Trenton that at
the present time the Legislature of New-Jersey
is strongly inclined 10 set ii aside. The nature
Of the opposition there is just about what it was
expected TO he. II is said by members from the
southern half of the State that their constituents
are not particularly interested in the protection
of a local and distant landmark, and that those
who have the matter at heart ought TO defray
the cost of carrying out the plan proposed by
the Joint Commission. 1t seems hardly worth
while to debate this proposition seriously, for
those who take such a view of the question after
so many years of discussion are not likely to be
convinced of their error within the next few
weeks. But not prepared 10 believe that
they represent a majority of the people of New
Jersey; or that the project will fail, If only
suitable demonstration Of favorable opinion can
be called out.
1t is evident, however that pains must be
taken, both in New-Jersey and New-YOrk, to
make the existence of a strong sentiment in sup
port of the measure known 10 the two legislat-
ures If. as we suppose, there is such a senti-
ment TO appeal 10. The undertaking is one
which Will not make progress unless II is
pushed, but we hope II is not necessary 10 con-
clude that there is no real force Of opinion
which can be applied TO II as a motive power.
New-York tribune., 1901-01-29

be sent away TO institutions for girls chosen
with reference to their different ages and dispo-
sitions.
AS matter of fact, both boys and girls
Should be removed from the sight and near
neighborhood of New-YOrk. The association
with vicious surroundings is too close for the
best progress in reformation. They would be
better off in the country near enough for all
reasonable visits from their families but far
enough to have entirely new surroundings. The
city owns Randalrs Island, but the House of
Refuge corporation owns the buildings. They
could probably be utilized for wOrkhOuse or
other purposes by the city, and that land Will
some day be required for municipal purposes.
If the city could be induced TO purchase the
equity of the House of Refuge that institution,
with the proceeds, could build a thoroughly
modern refOrmatory in the country. where a
large tract of land for agricultural labor could
be secured at comparatively small cost. There
the boys might be prepared for a useful country
life and be saved from going back to bad COM
panions in the cities. Such an Improvement as
this is, however, not likely to be made imme-
datey. But there is no reason why, by re-
moval of the girls now, such facilities as are
available at Randalls Island should not be used
TO the best advantage.
