OF GIRLS
MAKE A CAPTURE
Honor" System Inaugurated
by Mrs. O'Connor at Gen
eva Is a Success.

Another system inaugurated at the
Geneva training school for girls, by
Superintendent Carrie O'Connor of
Moline, has proven a success. The lat
est successful venture made by Mrs.
O'Connor, according to dispatches re-
ceived today from Geneva, is the estab-
lishment of an honor" system. 1t was
first attempted when a posse, consist
ing of girls of the institution, secured
the surrounding country in search of
two of the more hayward girls who
had escaped, captured them and
brought them back to the institution.
About 20 of the girls from one of the
cottages went out for a walk and in
the course of their wanderings two of
them managed to slip away unnoticed.
They were in charge of matron and
when the discovery was made that the
two had escaped, the remaining IS
girls Immediately offered to fetch them
back. The matron waited at the point
where they had left her for more than
an hour but the girls did not return.
She went sorrowfully back to Mrs.
O'Connor and told of the loss of her
entire charge. The superintendent had
just begun preparations for the pur-
suit of the 90 girls, when they all re-
turned, the two who had escaped, cap
tives in their midst. They had cap
tured the runaways about four miles
from the home in the woods, after an
exciting chase which led through
woods. fields and over fences. No
doubt good many of these girls could
have esiaped had they so desired, but
by being placed on their honor they
did not wish to betray the trust which
Mrs. OConnor had reposed in them
Some of them have escaped before
while under constant surveillance, as
many as dozen times, and Superin- |
tendent O'Connor and other officials of |
the institution are overjoyed because |
of the success of the honor" system.
