Industrial School Inmates

The following sta tistics relating to the
state industrial school at Vergennes by
Superintendent J N Barss are of interest
The number of children in the school on

SO were girls and 145 boys. OF the girls,
"a represented rural populations and 80
represented urban districts; of the boy
SO represented rural and 90 represented
urban districts. All incorporated villages
with 1000 or more of population are in
cluded in the category of urban districts
because it is here that manufacturing is
done and where the foreign element is
most largely present.
OF the total, including both sexes, the
urban districts, with an aggregate popu-
latiOn of 100, 900, sent 81, or approx.
mately one to each 1900 of populations
while the rural district supplied 1O7, or
one to each 1000 of population. OF all
the children committed 25 per cent are
those OF parents who are not living to.

centage of parents living apart is larger
in the urban than in the rural district.
the reverse being the case as to the boys
parents.
The ofenses charged against the girl
inmates include truancy, larceny, gross
lewdness and statutory offense, while 4S
per cent of those from rural districts and
10 per cent from urban districts, were
committed for discipline and reform. The
offenses charged against the boys include
truancy, larceny, burglary, assault, forg
cry and arson. None of the BOYS, either
from city orcountry, are charged with of.
lenses against morality. Those from the
country charged with the crimes of burg
larry, forgery and arson exceed the num-
