girl lends a hand to the material max
ing and upkeep of the community,
and in that way enters into sense of
possession and personal pride. In
each cottage every attempt is made to
further mutual service and co-opera-
ton and to that end each cottage is
made distinct home. Those within
are counted as family, and every
process of family support is met and
carried out in order to intensity the
home sense. This duplication of work
and interests by the various cottage
groups would seem loss, but those
in charge do not view it in that light
They say that a need determined,
nothing which more fully meets that
end can in the end be accounted a
loss.
Zone of the unique features of the
school is the wage earning system.
1t in a large measure characterizes
the work of the school in a training
way, for besides its educational value
it has proven the chief source of dis
cipline. Every girl on commitment
is for month in dependency. At the
end of the month she is assigned a
cottage and becomes member of the
family and citizen of the commune
ity. She is given food and shelter, but
beyond that she must earn her sup
port. The school of course has it's
own legal tender, but it's buying val
ue is none the less. For all work
done she is paid according to amount
and skill, and is likewise fined for
family or social offense. Each week
the girls receive pay for services rem
dered less any fines imposed, and from
this she must support herself, clothe
herself from the school store,
and pay for any luxuries or services
rendered in the family of which she
is member, or the community. Every
week the girls shop in the store con-
nected with the school, and they must
buy within their means. No extrava-
gances is permitted, and if any girl
has not the money to buy some bit of
finery she must go without. If girl
cannot make her clothes she must
pay another to do the work, and if
she is not willing to attend to her
laundry she must pay another for this
care. There is even debtors table
on which no desserts or sweets APP
pear. AS result of this system every

cities are the principal contributors.
At the close of the 1914 biennial per-
iod, the number of girls in the school
was 172. In addition there were 139
girls out on probation over whom the
school staff exercised jurisdiction
During the past two years 80 girls
received training in the school.

population during this period and the

farm work, too, it including the plant
ing and harvesting of 1000 bushels
of potatoes, 600 bushels of cattle beets
and $4,000 head of cabbage. The girls
also helped to fill the silo and put up
60 gallons of cucumber pickles and 8
barrels of sauer kraut. Hundreds of
quarts of canned vegetables is another
product of their labor.
"The honor system is given wide
latitude at the Sank Centre institu-
ton, and to the credit of the girls is
very little abused. The lake provides
boating and bathing and there is al
ways the call of the wild in the sum-

HE splendid work being

~ ga Sank Centre, is at
e@ tracing attention not
only over the North
west, but entire country, because the
Matron, Mrs. Fannie French Morse, is
generally recognized as the leading
authority on the care and restoration
of delinquent girls. The following
splendid descriptive story of the
Home and what it stands for, as well
as it's accomplishments, was prepared
by the Minnesota Board of Control,
under whose supervision the institu-
ton is operated, and will be published
in hundreds of Minnesota newspapers
this week:
The one state institution where
woman's influence is supreme is the
Minnesota Home School for Girls, To-
Gated at Sank Centre. Though under
the charge of the Board of Control
women are largely in command, and
the work of the resident staff is sup
plemented by woman's board OF Wis
itors, who act in an advisory capacity.
while the school is among the old
est, of the states correctional insti-
buttons, the location of the Home at
Sank Centre is comparatively new,
having been authorized by the legisla-
ture of 1907. Prior to that the insti-
tuition was conducted in connection
with the Boys Training School at Red
Wing.
"The change of location from Red
Wing to Sank Centre was due to the
activities of the club women of the
state, and those interested in correc-
tional work. They believed that COM
plete segregation and a location free
from the communicating influences of
the population centers would afford
the best method of handling those
committed to the school, and the
legislature answered their demands
by the selection of the site at Sank
Centre.
Though custodial in character the
Minnesota Home School for Girls is
a home in every sense of the word.
In this institution are confined delin-
quent girls of the state, committed by
the juvenile and district courts, and as
the majority of them are the product
of homes lacking every element of
uplift, the duties of the Home staff
are naturally exacting. The Home
consists of an administration build
ing, hospital and nine cottages, and
is admirably located on tract of
wooded land 100 acres in extent, with
Sank Lake, beautiful body of water,
in close proximity. A farm, much of
it cultivated by the girls, is in connec-
ton.
Between paroles and discharges
the population of the Home is an ever
changing one, yet one of the problems
of the institution staff is the proper
housing of the growing additions. The

phase of community life is reached.
No girl can leave the institution until
she has bank account with which to
buy her a good going-out outfit, and
as fines follow misconduct, conduct
really determines the time when girl
can leave the institution.
"The Home has six ungraded
schools, each cottage unit forming
its own school group and each school
having it's own teacher. Almost no
text boks are used, the girls taking on
through assimilation. The one idea is
to give the girls the short time they
are in the institution the best possible
equipment for practical living. Each
lesson given has its direct application
to the daily life of the girl.

institution to be married and now
have homes of their own, and two
were transferred to other institu-
tions. Of the 1873 girls placed dur
ing the two years only 26 girls were
returned to the school and only 13
of this number because of serious Of
lenses. The other II came back be-
cause of illness.
"The school, with its group of cot
tages ideally placed, is community
with its family homes, its farm and
it's central interests. The girls are
graded and the conduct of every one
determines, more or less, the standard
of the community. Each is listed as a
citizen in the community and is sub
ject to it's control and opinion. Every
