Behalf OF Such IN Institution.
To the Men OF North Carolisa:
The Kings Daughters OF North Car
DINA, at their last state convention,
elected the undersigned committee. to
petition the men OF the state TO sstab-
lish reformatory for boys. We ask
ypur careful consideration Ind EN-
dorsement OF the plea which We make
to you.
There are more than one hundred
reformatories In this country, all
working successfully. The foremost
states In this work are. California,
Connecticut, Indiana Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas. Maryland, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Minnesota, New York. New
Jersey, New Hampshire, Ohio. Penn
sylvania, Tennessee and Virginia
Why Is North Carolina not on this
list? Her boys are as we'll worth
saving as any others, her men and
women as philanthropic, and yet her
criminal children are either hardened
In their crimes by association with
those more vicious than themselves.
or have To be sent to other states for
reformation.
That there may be no doubt OF the
duty and expediency of having a re-
form school in this state. We mention
the following statistics:
The majority OF states declare that
they save Is per cent. OF delinouents
in their reformatories. The percent
age is much larger in cases of youth
full than adult offenders. In some
cases 80 per cent. and more OF the
youthful criminals are reclaimed.
In Nashville, Tenn, a citizen. in
presence of the reform school, stated
that of 1900 of it's inmates, only IL
had been known to return to criminal
life.
From the house Of refuge, Cilcin-
natl, We learn that the number of
good reports received from boys after
leaving the institution. is 81 per cent.
From Brooklyn We are told that So
per cent. of juvenile criminals are re-
claimed, and only 10 per cent of
| adults.
There can be no doubt, then. CT
our duty to educate, morally and
mentally, our Juvenile Offenders. AS a
| matter of economy, money is saved to
the state by doing so. A boy is fed,
clothed, taught and reclaimed in re-
1OIm SCuoOi dI d SOSI VI pIUO q go =
A sheriff is paid 800 annually for
feeding him only. If wealth OF a
state depends upon its producers, we
| increase that class by saving the boys
and converting them into wOrkingmen,
and in like manner diminish the num-
! Der of consumers who have TO be fed
| and guarded in the jails.
Come to our aid then, and save the
boys by urging that the legislature
establish a reformatory for them.

AS such, the passage IN question was
