THE REFORMATORY SCHOOL.
Changes VIII BE Made i'm the system
by Mr.. Whitaker.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Sept. 26.-Su-
perintendent Whitaker, of the Reforma-
tory, is preparing to make some changes
in the school system at the institution.
One of the most important will be the
proper grading of the young men. The
pupils will be so graded that the first grade
scholars will not be forced to struggle
hopelessly with the studies of the higher
grades, and the advanced ones will not be
retarded by CHASING them with the lower
grade scholars. thorough course will be
given in the first second, third, fourth and
fifth grades.
Many difficulties are encountered in con-
Quoting the school, as many of the in
mates remain only q year, and arrange
meDts for their schooling must be based
upon the time the instructors have to carry
out the work. The proper grading and the
addition of more teachers will facilitate the
work A half day in school each day will
be given the inmates who are not capable
of taking up the work OF the sixth grade
as established in the free schools They
will be compelled To stsldy and recite dur
ing the half day and work on contracts
or other work the remainder of the day.
Those who have sufficient education to en-
ter the sixth grade will not be enrolled
in the school, but special attention viii be
directed toward giving them useful trade.
Those in school Will also have training IN
the trades and workshops.

perience in glassmaking and they receive
s1.5o day for their labor. The capper-off
gets 81 day and the Ladders S1.75 day.
After they become acquainted with their
work they will be paid so much for each

that there are no old women nowadays.
and that we can all dress alike. at any

It's true that there are no distinctive styles

II don't quite see what you mean by
that. though l do understand about your
subtle notifications l think you manage
them to perfection. But, as to freedom and

"For instance big picture hats, fat hats
