A TRAINING SCHOOL FOR CHILDREN.


One of the most important
measures to come before the next
legislature is the establishment of a
reformato-y institution for wayward
or unfortunate boys; and girls
should be Included; and it should
not be merely for the wayward, but
for the unfortunate; those whose
young ED1 are shadoneI By bad
environment, says the Hattiesburg
News.
Once a subject gets upon the
hearts OF a people as this juvenile
reformatory movement has, it is
easier to get money than it is to
wisely it. Just as in building
q house, care should be taken that
the foundation is well laid for this
home for the young; for upon the
foundation rests largely the endur-
ing success and benefit of the efforts
that will be put forth.
To begin with, if it is worth do
ing well, and promoters of the
movement should not be afraid to
ask enough, and the legislature
should not be niggardly in their
giving. In the second place a COM
mittee of practical and painstaking
men, with an investigating turn of
mind, should be appointed 10 in
|quire into plans and methods in
use by other states, and draw q bill
based upon their findings: They
will find a most excellent institution
at Waukesha, Wisconsin. In that
state a small child can be arrested
for the smallest Of offenses, and if it
is shown that the natural guardians
of that child are immoral, depraved
or vicious, by Judgment of the
court the child becomes the ward Of
the state until it is t~wenty-one years
of age. It is sent to this Home at
Waukesha, and there it is trained
up in tho way it should CO. It
receives kind treatment, humane
though strict discip;ins; mentally,
morally, physically, it is given the
best of care aud attention. and the
graduates frum that home, as a
