There Should Be a
Woman in Charge of This
Woman's Training School

The bill for the building of a new re-
fornatory for women to be called the
Michigan training school, in order to
avoid the obloquy of reform" has been
reported out OF two committees and is
expected to to come up this week.
There is little doubt but that it will
be carried. but that it viii go thru with
out amendments is another matter.
As it stands it asks for three men
and three women on the board and a
woman superintendent.
Police Commissioner CouZens wants
an aIl-men board, TO consist Of police
commissioners of the state.
The matter Of women on the board
and a woman superintendent are the
rocks upon which the Michigan legisla-
ture is expected TO split, for vigorous
opposition is being made to both.
Ii is the old story over again and
Michigan win be far behind the times IL
her politicians have their way.
Our legislature appears to think that
this is an experiment, whereas a similar
institution in Indiana has had woman
at its head for 40 years, another In
SheFbourRe, Mass, has been similarly
run for % years and that in Bedford,
N. Y, the model of the world, has been
blessed with the services of DIR. Rather
inc Bement Davis for Ii years.
DR.. Davis did her work so well that
she was made supervisor of all prisons
in New York state and for year past
has been parole commissioner for the
state as well.
Mrs. Martha Falconer has made fol-
herself an enviable reputation as head
of a girls institution near Philadelphia
and practically all the places of this sort
of any size or importance are run by
women. 90
Why, then, Is Michigan so loath Il
do the natural, obvious thing?
