Stringent Laws Needed.
DR. Gowana then goes into. tine needs
OF tho institution, which are set out IN
the report ot the board OF trustees He
also refers to the fact that environmsnt
has had much TO do with the presenee Of
many OF the inmates. their parents hav@
ing neglected them. and thus contribfte1
TO a marked degree TO their delinquencies.
In this connection. DR. Gowans says that
the legislature should enact stringent
laws TO prevent the entering into the
marriage state OF persons unfit for such
responsibilities.
DIR. Gowans strongly recommends tie
cottage, or family. plan at the school, in-
stead OF the copgregate plan now IN
vogue. Tho cottage plan. he says. PER
mits OF perfect segregation. based on aga
and seriousness OF offense. A separalo
school for girls also is recommended, and
IT is added that the work OF the bors'
department would he simplined II the
girls department could be moved as fas
away as the girls cottage.
In conclusion. DR.. Gowans refers to IN:
need of q reformatory, as some boys and
girls should not be permitted 10 assoclate
with the other students. he says.
