Management of Reform Schools.

When the report OF the committee on
charities and corrections which had been
held over from last meeting on account of
non-completed discussion of the para graph
regarding the boys and girls reform
schools, was called up, Mr.. Chaplin Brown
a member of the board of trustees of the
girls reform school, opened the argument
in favor of a continuance of the present syS-
tenn of management by the Department of
Justice, by reading extensively from various
acts of Congress and reports of the Depart
ment of Justice He said that it had been
recommended by the then Board of Com
missioners. at the time the reform school
was incorporated. that it's management
should be vested in board of trustees.
which should be accountable only to the
Attorney General 1t was pointed out by
the speaker that the act of Congress in
cooperating the school designated 1t as a
place for confinement of females under
eighteen years OF age save for life i'm
prisonment, and that this made it plainly
evident that the school should be in the
same category as the District jafl-that is
under direct control OF the courts and of
the Department of Justice
II cannot understand why the Institution
should be transferred to the control of the
District Commissioners, he declared 'sThe
land on which the school stands belongs to
the United States, and so far as | know a
Commissioner of the District of Columbia
has never darkened the doors of the school
The Commissioners have cognizance OF the
appointees 10 the board of trustees and the
members of the board of trustees are there
every week and run the affairs of the In
stitution on an even balance. If the board
or charities and the Commissioners should
visit the school occasionally they would
surely have their opinions changed
Congress has seen fit to take all ms titu-
uons OF penal nature in the District and
place them under the Department of Jus
tee. Congress Is paying one-half the ex-
penses of the District of Columbia and we
cannot expect TO have entire control of
everything We haven't really any local
government, and if we are not careful the
act constituting the present form of gov
eminent viii be abrogated and we will be
told to go ahead and shift for ourselves

Sea birds soaring i'm from Mobile bay

havoc to life and property Through some
ineXplainahle atmospheric condition these
sea birds have advance knowledge Of conf

shelter of the inland country. Not only
do they look to their own safety, but they
shrek loudly as they soar TO cover and
herald their note of warning to man and

Mobile had given recognition tO the first
flights OF Mother Cary's chickens" a
rather timorous sea bird, which we're COM

Monday morning the more ooura geous sea
gulls began to follow I'm the path of the
tinid Mother Cary chickens" and later
in the day whole iocks of pelicans brought
up the rear of the procession that was
headed to safety
