Girls Industrial School viii be Open, To-
morrow, for Inspection and the Re-
cepuon Of Donations.
Tomorrow will be donation day at the
Delaware Industrial School for Girls, and
the managers will be present TO receive
guests during the entire day. The build
ing will be open for inspection, thus Afford
ing an opportunity for those interested
in such schools 10 attend.
The work OF the school is Of much inn
portance in this community and so inter-
esting in all It's lines that an inspection Of
the building should awaken interest among
the citizens Of Wilmington and Of the
State.
The number Of girls attending the school
has increased largely during the last year,
thus enlarging requirements IN the way
OF money and supplies. AZ present the
girls number 80, eight OF them being under
l6 years Of age. Since it has been pos
sible TO separate the grades OF pupils,
girls have been taken not only for vice
and crime, but for incorrigibility. The
usefulness Of the school is thus much ex-
tended, as better success is derived when
pupils enter at an earlier age and more i'm
pressiona bic age ~ fE
The whole aim Of the school Is TO main
tain as high a grade Of work Is possible,
as the higher the standard Of work the
less the girl is uniavorably affected by
reason Of having been there.
The congested condition Of the school
makes it impossible for the girls 10 have
proper exercise in inclement meather,
hence the necessity for a gymnasium is
apparent. This is not thought Of luxury
but Of necessity, as it is impossible 10 in
struct morally and intellectually without
physical training The grand jury, in its
last report, states that the gymnasium Is
a necessity TO the school and its members
remarked upon the excellent work being
done there and that few people in the
community realize its importance.
Any donation, either Of money OF sup
plies, will be most gratefully received
tomorrow. Mrs. Samuel n. Trump, who
has charge Of donation day, with some o

large number of resolutions, petitions

difficulty. Some Of these have been
rejected, while others have been
adopted in various forms. While the

agreed, but which, according to the
district officers, will be disposed Of
without causing any friction.

50 men. This in all probability will
not be until tomorrow.
