CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan. 93.-

with the progress of the work of the

work las been given a good start and
that every step now tends TO the i'm

EXTENDING THE

PROPOSITION TO INCREASE THE
AGE LIMIT FROM 10 TO 10
YEARS FINDS FAVOR.
BOYS SENT TO THE PENlTEN.
II TiARY WHO SHOULD NOT
GO THERE.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Jan. 23S.-
One of the most important bills that
have yet come before the House was
the bill reported favorably by the
committee on human institutions and
relating to the State Reform School
for Boys at Pruntytown. Important
because II deals with the life training
OF the youths OF the State, bending
the twigs in the hope of incllnlng the
trees--for upon the success or fail
ure of the work Of that institution
depends whether there shall be ad.
ded TO the population of West vir-
ginia every year hundred criminals
or hundred good citizens.
On the opening day OF the session
Delegate D. B. Smith, representative
from Cabell county. introduced bill
raising the maximum age of admis.
sion TO the reform school from 1G TO
Is years. Superintendent o. E. Oar.
nall, OF the school, who has been in
the city for several days, was called
before the committee TO give his opin.
ion as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of adopting
the measure, and gave 1t his hearty
approval. After that there was no
objection and the bill was reported
with the vote unanimously in favor
of 1t.
Afterward, at Mr.. Darnall's sugges.
ton. another feature was added, or
rather substitute bill was prepared,
incorporating n provision Changing
the present plan OF collecting part Of
the funds for the maintenance OF the
Institution.
County Must Collect.
Included in the tax reform laws
passed ut the extra session was law
providing that the various counties
should pay to the State the sum OF $40
annually for each inmate In the re.
form school except in cases where the
parents or guardian bringing the com.
plant we're financially able when
they should pay the said sum to the
school. However. the school was
made the collector of the money, and
the impracticability OF the plan was
seen at once by Superintendent Oar.
nall. who Immediately called the at.
tention of Governor White to the mai.
ter. The governor had the supcrIn.
tendent draw up bill making the
county the collector, and it was this
bill that was amalgamated with the
Smith measure, coming before the
House as substitute, thus retain.
Ing It's place on the calendar.

intendent Darnall. why, under the
law 1t would be necessary for the In.
stitution to have an agent in every
county in the State, or send man
from the school TO the locality every
time there was an annual payment to
collect. In either case, the expense
of collection would eat up all the
profit. Now by having the county do
