control created sensation at the con-
ference Of charities and correction
when he declared that if the women
spent half the time helping hayward
girls after they left the training school
that they now do in the effort to secure
a separate institution for them, they
would do vastly more good.
This remark followed an appeal by
Mrs. Higbee Of St. Paul for a separate
home for wayward girls. Mrs. Higbee
spoke very strongly Of the evils which
result from the system Of combining
boys and girls in adjacent buildings.
Do their best; the authorities were I'M
able to prevent communication between
tablishment Of an institution on the
cottage plan elsewhere, at which the
girls might be classified as to age and
Character and kept as far as. advisable
apart. ~, BE-.
Mr.. jacobson, after congratulating
the speaker on her forceful appeal, said
that four years ago he had introduced
bill providing for such a division
as suggested by her and which he
thought would accomplish the object:
interest, which took the matter TO
friendly court and defeated the object
OF the act, -..:s
'sIt is impossible to get beneficial
results under present conditions, he
said, "and nobody is more fully aware
Of this than the board of control. No
body knows better the absolute neces-
state institution is the poorest kind
Of home. The object Of philanthropic
people should be rather to keep girls
| away from schools for the wayward
than to enlarge them. Efforts should
be directed to keep them at home or
to provide homes for them. If women
would spend half the time in helping
school that they do in trying to get
separate home for them, it would be
greatly to the girls advantage.
"What kind of a reception" he
asked, do these girls get from the best
women in society9 They are Stunned

theni.'' Mr.. jacobson closed by saying
that the legislature next winter would
probably make an appropriation for a
training school for girls. :-:c., r.
