For the first time in the history of
the institution the state industrial
school for girls will be represented at
the state federation of women's clubs
in Topeka, May 16, II, Is and 10, by
4 the superintendent, Mrs. Julia Perry,
who will speak on the importance OF
/ the work, and this will give an OppOr-
/ tunity to the people of the state to
know more of the work done and her
plans for the future of the school.
Mrs. Perry will also bring with her
an exhibit of the work which will
give an idea Of what is being accom-
plished in many of the departments
of this model state institution This
ought to be a rare opportunity for
those DESTROYS of knowing what is be-
ing done for the girls who from neces-
sity or otherwise have become wards
of the state. Few people realize the
Importance of saving. our girls to home
and state, and not many know OF the
great work that is being done in the

the desire to be good and do good.
[ She is loved as a mother and trusted
as a reals friend. Her discipline is so
/ perfect that there has never been the
least friction or unrest. The marvel
/ Gus growth of the state industrial
school for girls, its high moral stand
ing, and its discipline being almost en-
/ tlrely self-gOverning, this being the
end for which all true government ex-
| lists, is certainly a source of gratifica-
ton to Mrs. Perry and her co-worker
/ teachers. The industries taught have
been largely increased in the last four
years until any girl attending the in
StitutIOn has the opportunity to pre-
pare herself for any ayocation she
desires to follow. Underlying all this
character building is the great aim
and object of the superintendent who
/ has the work in charge
The people of the state are becom-
ing more and more interested in the
work and its Importance as an insti-
tuition for retaining the unfortunate
girls of our state. There are now ia
girls in the institution, the largest
number since its opening. It has a
fine quartette and orchestra; religious
services are held every Sabbath, the
several ministers of Beloit onducting
them. It is the pride of the superin-
/ tendent to show visitors through this
model state institution Not a girl
has attempted to run away while the
institution has been in charge of Mrs.
Perry. She loves the work entrusted
1 to her charge, and the girls fairly
worship her. Her system Of conduct
ing the affairs of such an institution
is as nearly perfect as can be.

federation of women's clubs will
doubtless be listened to with great in
terest by a crowded house.
