GIRL s INDUSTRIAL HOME
TROUBLE NEAR SOLUTION
It is Now up Senator Dick TO Prove His Steel or Ac
knowledge Defeat in the Contest Over Ohio
Federal Patronage.

Columbus, o., May 21--A change in
the management of the girls indus
trial home near Delaware is the
final solution of vexed situation.
There is so much perplexity in a
problem both delicate and onerous.
such as this has been, as to make It
exceedingly difficult to solve. To deal
with 1t justly Governor Harmon had
to be guided by two purposes, proper
maintenance of the institution with
regard to its physical necessities ana
at the same time, augmented useful
ness OF the institution for the moral
betterment of those committed to it.
These purposes are not naturally
in conflict with each other Great
care must be exercised, however, to
advance the opportunities of the in
stitution for correctional training
consistent with the requirements OF
order and discipline. For here the
state is expected to take under shell
tering wings young girls who need
help and encouragement more than
punishment.
There is also the claim of the sex
for clemency which must not be
ignored. This is not an elementary
principle in the conduct of any other
state institution.
Those who take an active interest
in this matter will rejoice in the an
nouncement that Governor Harmon
will insist upon corporal punishment
being abolished, and that the reor-
ganization will be followed by re-
forms in the way of more lenient dIa,
.cipline and in the personal care o.
the girls. This comports with the
more modern ethics of correctional
institutions, for the uplifting spirit
OF humanity is in 1t. A thread CT
sympathy might be so woven into the
woof of character as to make whole
and perfect fabric for all time. It
is worth the effort to try, in behalf
of the girls and in behalf OF society
at large.

himself and his wife-to-be-$1O,O 900
His income was sufficient for a club
man of New York, but it left no sur
plus in the savings bank, let alone
enough TO set up an establishment
for wife. But Miss Smith wore
her engagement ring and never lost
faith for a moment.
But the years were feeting. After
ten years the wedding seemed as far
off as ever. Young Mr. Blye finally
got somewhat discouraged, he re-
solved to make a change Of base. So
he went to Miss Smith.
II think | can make some money
in the South" he SAID. IF | go
away for a few years will you wait
for me?"
What Miss Smith said is no secret
all her friends have heard it from
her own lips.
'Of course | WILL joe" was her
trusting reply. 81 love you and I'll
wait for you always.
SO Mr.. Blye left New York for the
South He was away only Two years,
however No. he didn't make his

A bit discouraged, but IN no wise
undaunted, the engineer took UP his
profession in New York, again. BY
this time their mutual friends began
to take up the matter They de-
clared It foolish for them TO wait

Some of the victims who are COM

The first man was a gardener, we are told. Certain it is that the first men were tliers of the soil, after they ceased to be wandering warriors That is where we get our love of na ture, declares a writer in the Kansas City Journal. That is why we build parks and have flowers clamberins about our premises. That is why "e are strangely at peace when We ger out into the mountains and lose our selves among the fragrant woods. That is why we loathe at times the smell of paint that is on civilization and long for the perfume of the life that is close to the green leaves and the wild flowers. That is why We are so happy when We camp out and why we are so reluctant to return. That is why our earliest recollecions of the ~old farm" are the sweetest and ten derest of our lives. That is why We crack a joke at the simple life" and "bacR to nature" and ali that-wheD somebody is around-and why we know. away down In our hearts. that the simple life is the life most worth living and that we cannot get close to anything sweeter or purer than na' ture, Mother" Nature, whose sons and daughters we are, from whom we may wander far, but to whom We re turn as prodigals, finding the prodi' gals welcome and the prodigaIs peace..
