GOOD WORK OF
BOYS REF0RMATORY

The plan followed by the state of
Ohio, in remaking naughty boys, mas
had excellent results according to
Eugene Woods article, "A School for
Boys in the October number of
Eyerybody's Magazine.
Statistics show" says Mr.. Wood
that out of the 1000 boys who have
been in this school since it was start
ed, between 65 and 20 per cent have
made useful, honorable men out of
themselves. How many of them
would have done so anyhow it is i'm
possible to tell but the chances are
that they would have all gone ire
vocably to the bad, else they wouldn't
have been committed. They aren't
sent to Lancaster for making faces at
the teacher.
"Of these 1000 or so rescued boys
some have done extremely well. One
