ADMITS GIRLS
WERE WHIPPED
May Abolish Corporal Punish
ment in Jersey Home.

Trenton, N. j.. Dec. 1.-The State
Home for Girls is under investigation
by the commission on dependencies
and crimes appointed by Governor
Fort last winter. In visit To the in
stitution last week the commissioners
discovered that some Of the most in
corrigible inmates of the institution
were sometimes subjected to corporal
punishment. and they decided to lay
the matter before the governor with
the purpose of having it stopped.
Mrs. Z. V. H. Mansell. superintend-
ent of the institution. admits that she
sometimes punished the girls by strik'
ing them with a strap. but declares
that she never cruelty treats them.
There are POI inmates OF the institu-
ton and il is looked upon as a model
bv the managers OF other institutions
of its kind in the United States.
Since Mrs. Mansell became super
intendent Of the home the girls have
been taught in accordance with the
public school system of the city; mu-
sic has been introduced in the institu-
ton and some of the inmates in five
years have developed wonderful must
cal talent The girls themselves speak
in the highest terms of Mrs. ManseH,
who gives them liberties that they
were never given before.
Whether or not Governor Fort will
ask the discontinuance OF corporal
.punjshment in the institution remains
to be seen. Mrs. Mansell says that she
