are taught sewing and housework.
Like the Magdalens, this reformatory
class lives by itself. seeing only the
sisters. They wear no uniforms, for
the sisters are desirous of impressing
on them the fact that the House Of the
GOOD Shepherd Is a home and not. an
institution. They have separate rec
reation grounds that are most attract
ively laid out, and a number OF pleas
ing entertainments are arranged by the
sisters for their diversion. Everything
possible is done to impress upon them
the desirability of leading good lives.
library filled with good books is at
their disposal, they have a piano of
their own and the part of the house in
which they live is as cheerful and at
tractive as sunlight, cleanliness, good
order and kindly sympathy can
make it.
Some OF the women in the refornatorv
class join the Magdalen order and never
leave the institution, but no one is adj
mltted to this order until the sisters are
absolutely satisfied that she is fitted
for 1t and that she will be content
there.
The Preservation Class
The fourth class in the home is
known as the preservation class. 1t
Includes children from five or six to
sixteen or seventeen who, through
neglect or the inheritance of evil tend
encles, have started on the downward
path OF these there are now seventy
seven in the House of the Good Shep-
herd. The little ones go to school and
the older ones are taught sewing and
. housework. Among the youngest class
there are many. of course, who have
been snatched from evil environments
before they have had q chance to
know what evil is. These, when they
leave the House OF the Good Shepherd,
remember only the peaceful, happy life
there; the WickedneSs that surrounded
them in their babyhood has not af-
fected them. Civilization is just be-
ginning TO realize the value of pre-
vent1ye work among the children.
To understand just how much it
means, one has merely to visit such an
institution as the House Of the Good
Shepherd and watch at their work or
play some of those little ones who have
been rescued from evil environment.
Like the other two classes, those who
belong in this one lead an entirely sep
arate existence. These children never
come in contact with either the Mag
dalens or the women in the reforma-
tory class.
Sisters Do All the Cooking
All the cooking done in the House of
the Good Shepherd is done by the sis
ters. None of the inmates is permitted
to have anything to do with the prepa-
ration of the food. But in every other
department they are allowed practical
experience in domestic work There is

ent sixty-three of these women who
represent almost every grade of So
ciety. Many of them have come
straight from houses of vice to this re-
treat; a few have been reclaimed by
friends and sent to the home; all have
lived more or less evil lives, but those
who have undertaken the reformation
of these unfortunate ones will tell you
that large number of them are more
sinned against than SHINING.
The majority of the women in the re-
formatory class at the House of the

of repenting. Many of them do repent

To Reform Juvenile Offenders
1t was only five years ago that the
Minnesota legislature authorized the
three counties that include ST. Paul,
Minneapolis and Duluth to employ each
a probation officer who might aid in
the reformation of Juvenile offenders.
The law went into effect towards the
close of that year. In January, 1902,
Probation officer Bingham was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Graves. By an act of the
last legislature he was empowered to
pay a deputy.
This deputy is Miss Mary Balfour,
formerly an ensign of the Salvation
Army During her connection with the
Army Miss Balfour gained a practical
training in London, New York and 9TH
er cities, which now renders her serv-
ices of special value.
From his Office on the lower floor of
the city hall Mr.. Graves goes daily to
the municipal court room nearby. He
attends every session of that court and
whenever notified that his services will
be required appears in both the probate
and the district courts.

posed" of in the municipal court and

The Juvenile Court
Strictly speaking, this court and the
probation officer are concerned with the
trial of all offenders that are under age.
In practice, naturally, the proceedings
relate but seldom to offenders older
than eighteen years.
If child pleads guilty, or is con-
victed, the judge commonly asks the
probation officer to talk with the bad
boy or girl privately and report to the

Thereupon the very naughty angels
must submit to questioning in private
by the probation officer. He makes ev-
cry possible inquiry bearing upon their
wrong doing and their future conduct
asks about their home life, their school
attendance, their health, their associa-
tions, their personal habits. If any OBJ
jectional ways are confessed he taboos
