NEWPORT NEWS WILL
CONTRIBUTE TO FUND
Plans for Raising Money for
Girls Home Formulated at
Informal Conference.

Newport News Will contribute its
share towards the fund being raised
for the establishment of the Virginia
Home and Industrial School for the
hayward girls of the State.
Plans for the raising of the money
in this city we're formulated at IN
informal meeting of few of the lead
ing ministers and citizens last night
at, the Citizens & Marine bank build
ing. The meeting was called by w.
NJ. Parker at the request of Rev.
James Buchanan, d. D., Of the Juv-
emile Protective Association, of Rich
mond, who is the chief promoter OF
the movement for the establishment
Of the home for girls.
DR.. Buchanan addressed the confer
enee, outlining the plans Of the as
ISOLATION. He explained that the or
ganization has set out to raise 49,
000-most of which already has
been subscribed-to purchase a farm
rear Bon Air, Va, on which the home
is to be located 1t is proposed to
erect a large building and to place
"a competent matron in charge. Way
ward girls who are arrested in the
various cities and counties Of the
State viii be sent to this home in
stead of to- jail. They will be taught
to sew and cook and will ne given
the benefit OF religious training.
At present Virginia has no such
home for girls and when they are ar
rested, the police justices find them
selves up against the proposition OF
either sending the girls to jail or re-
leasing them upon the communities in
which they live. Bills have been in
troduced in the legislature In behalf OF
the institution. The State will pay
the maintenance OF the home, allow
ing so much per day for the boarding
and feeding Of the girls as is now
done for tine Laurel reform school
for boys.

the s9o.0oe. Norfolk has pledged S.
600. DsnviiIe. $500 and Newport
News. Hampton. Roanoke. Lyncs5urg.
