PuRLlo nArHlNe AGAIN.

Last spring a number of members of
la woman's organization in New Jer-
sey issued a protest against indiscrlmi-
nate public bathing. and started a cruz
sade aimed at breaking up the popu-
liar surf bathing along the Atlantic
coast
But like many another custom which
is regarded with horror the American
idea Of public bathing is spreading. II
has reached Russia. and the lettle sea-
side resort of Kultchup has been thrown
into disorder by the bathers and the
protestants. one priest daily enters
the water and curses the sea for per-
uniting denlement. Yet the bathing
win continue, the priest after awhile
win die. and in time people win enjoy
the sport MS something perfectly ma
ural and proper
Custom is everything And had
there not been bold nnoyaters we
should yet be afraid to kiss our wives
on Sunday or TO whistle the doxolosy
to express "a joyous mood. And cus-
tom is certain in time to be made a
part of relgion-frlns that are apt to
centre the public attention.
But to the sane and clear-mlndod
there is NO more evn that can come
from men and women tumbling in tho
breakers together than ln walking the
streets together In fact there is nc
sport so Innocent as surf bathing, since
the ocean is Jealous and uncertain, and
demands the undivided attention OF
those who prefer to breathe air in
stead of salt water

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
rhe IndustriaI schooI Matter.

Editor Of The Evening Journal.
Sir. / desire to correct an erroneous
impression given by your paper Of
yesterday that the Delaware Industrial
school is intended "only for bad girls
meaning immoral girls. The Legisla-
ture in 1903 so amended the charter Of
the school that IT now deals with the
following classes of cases. First Girls
who by reason of incorrigible or vicious
conduct cannot be controlled, or that
are leading idle and immoral or vicious
lives or have been found IN circum-
stances Of manifest danger Of falling
into habits of vice or immortality. Sec
iond Any girl who I'm consequence of
vagrancy or other improper conduct
appears 10 the court upon the evidence
TO he proper subject for the charge,
custody or guardianship of the school
and that the parent Is from moral de-
pravity. or otherwise, incapable of eX-
ercising or neglects 20 exercise proper
care ana discipline over her Third.
Any girl who upon conviction Of va
grancy or other criminal offense, or
upon her acquittal OF the offense, is
upon the evidence OF the case consider
ca by the court 10 be a proper subject
for the care Of the school.
These important changes have great
ly enlarged the scope Of the work Of the
school and increased its usefulness, SO
that when parents or guardians have
lost control of girls who are in danger
of being led astray, they may be placed
in this institution and thereby may be
prevented from falling into habits OF
vice OF immortality.
In order that such girls may be kept
from Intercourse with older and more
depraved girls, another officer has been
added to the corps OF officers already
installed and arrangements made by
which the two classes are practically
kept apart. This fact has been so
much appreciated that most OF the
girls committed to the institution dur
ing the past year have been placed
there by parents or other relatives be-
cause these girls were incorrigible oi
uncomfortable. A letter recently re-
ceived from an aunt to whom one OF
the girls was paroled viii express the
satisfaction OF relatives at the treat.

The Girls Side.

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal:
Sir: Two apparently honest girls
! seeking a livelihood by selling IRON
holders were arrested for peddling
without a license. Their accusers state
that they made complaint on the
grounds that the girls were IN danger
Of falling into the habit of vice. It
seems to me that this is not only an
injustice to the innocent girls, but it
also reflects very unfavorably on the
judgment Of someone who is connected
with the Industrial School and also
upon those who entered the complaint.
1t is altogether unlikely that girls who
are of a temperament that would lead
them into vice would ever humiliate
themselves enough TO peddle iron-hold-
ers. This seems a sufficient proof that
the girls We're trying to do what was
honest and upright to bring in a little
toward the support Of that one-room
home.
Just as your editor has remarked in
his columns, I'VE might lock up half
the girls in Wilmington" Yes, even
more, but they are not In danger of
vice through selling iron-holders. Let
them visit public places and see the
girls of respectable parentage, who are
under twenty-one years Of age. and
who are Ia danger of vice through the
liquor which is being sold to them.
This is what our Industrial Schools are
for
I say, and I think / voice the senti-
ments OF great many of our citizens,
that we had better hit the nail on the
head instead Of falling so short Of the
mark as to arrest and commit TO the
Industrial School for Girls. two girls
who were trying to earn an honest liv-

THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

ln another column We print an inter-
esting and instructive article on the
Delaware Industrial School for Girls,
by one of the managers. 1t win be well
for all of our readers to peruse this
article as it sets forth the purposes
and scope of this most benencent in
sutuuon.
That such noble work is being
carried ON I'm our midst-the work Of
reclaiming the wayward and Of pro-
tecting those who are friendless and
subject to degrading inhuences-re-
fleets the better side of this commun-
ity
This article was prepared TO correct
what was deemed am erroneous impress
sion conveyed by a news story in this
paper yesterday. Yet If there was a
mistake, il was made by a person who
should be an authority on such mat
ters. To conduct the work of this in
stitution vast authority has been
given to the court and its officers. and
whether that authority has been ex-
oeeded in particular case is a ques-
ton that must often arise.
But there can be no question Of the
benehcent work of the Industrial
school, nor Of the generous and un-
selfish devotion OF its managers. That
is too well-known 10 require repetition.

THE PLATFORM OUTLINED.

If the draft Of the platform as pre-

The candidate is likely 70 be Pare
ker. whose views on an public ques-
tions he has kept to himself; and the
platform calls for nothing in particular
but a modification OF Republican poll
cles. 1t goes back to the historic
democratic attitude simple opposition
to the other party.
on the questions which have called
forth the most pronounced opinions In
the last two campaigns the platform
prepared by Mr.. Williams is as slittish
and COY as maiden. It demands a
tarin for sufficient revenue. and yet il
declares that in making tariff adjust
ments due regard must be paid to
actually existing conditions" We think
the Republicans would have little diff
Guilty in asserting to that.
Neither silver nor gold is mentioned
IN the money plank, but something is
said about paper money This is a
confession that the Democratic party
proposes TO dump overheard along with
Bryan an the monetary heresies that
have constituted the chief issue in the
last two campaigns. A return to SAM
ity must be welcomed but a return to
sanity is confession of a period OF
insanity. and there may be a relapse.
