Good of Inmates.

State ownership and control OF the

white Reformatory). the negro Re-
iormatory and the Virginia Home and
industrial School for Girls. is pro-
sosed In bill introduced IN the House
yesterday by Captain w. w Baker,

the various associations owning these
properties. which were established
through charitable agencirs, are ready
30 convey them to tho Comm onwealth.
The Laurel School. in Henrlco coun-
~, Ia owned by the Prison Associa ton
OF Virginia. and cares for white boys
between the ages OF eight and twenty
ono; tho negro school, in Hanover
county. Is the property OF the Negro
fcformatory Association. and has tho
same function with reference to color
ed boys, while the home for hayward
girls from eight to eighteen. was es-
tablished only two years ago, the
buildings being erected by charitable
people. and the support furnished by
the State. Courts may commit boys
and girls TO these schools.
But It is believed that the congrc-
cation of feeble-mlndcd and criminal
young people. together Is very bad for
the former, and that, besides, work
can be provided for the inmates which
Will largely reduce the cost. They are
supported almost entirely by the State.

the institutions would be governed by
