Mrs. Johnston Leaves
 Today for Montgomery.

Mrs R. D. Johnston will leave this morning for Montgomery where she goes in the interest of the Boys Industrial school. She is anxious for the bill asking for an appropriation to be introduced be- fore the legislature takes recess, and she will make every effort to inter the legislators In behalf of the measure
 As was shown In the recent report of the board the industrial school has been largely maintained by private donations, and that the state has failed in its duty to this institution.
 Under the new constitution. unless an appropriation Is made by the present leg islature. four years will elapse before any action could be taken looking to the SUD- port of the school.
 a It is imperative, therefore. that an ap- propriation be made during this session of the legislature.
 There was never a more critical period in the brief history of the industrial school.
 Just now Is a supreme crisis, unless the situation can be so presented to the legislature that an adequate appropria- tion will be made.
 There is no one who Is more able to present the situation than Mrs. Johnston But the time has come when she should be relieved of the great burdens she Is bearingy The time has come when the state should assume the obligations and the responsibilities that are resting up small number of noble women; and fl the state refuses to do its part towards reformation of its criminally -inclned chil- dren. then Jefferson county, should see to 1t that the industrial school shall not close it's doors
