The following are the provisions of the act:
 That the county judges of the various counties in the state of Arkansas be, and they are here by authorized and required, to have brought before them all children between the ages of 8 to l3 years, whom they know and who are reported to them to live innotorious resorts of bad charac- ter, or who frequent the company of lewd, wanton or lascivious per sons, or whose parents live in or keep houses of i'll fame. or habit ually frequent the same; and if such judge is satisfied from the proof offered that such child is not being properly cared for, and that it's moral, mental or physical welfare is being neglected to that extent that it will grow up in pauperism, lewdness and crime, and said judge shall take charge of such child, and by the proper order commit it to the Reform School, if there is a va cancy from his county, or find it suitable home, as in his judg- ment will be to the best interest of the moral, mental and physical welfare of such child.
