DELAWARE INDUSTRIAL
SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
AND ITS NEEDS
Set Forth In Open Letter By
Board Of Managers
Equality

Mrs. Charles M. Curtis, pres
ident of the Board of Managers, of
the Delaware Industrial School for
Girls, has recently mailed letters
setting forth the needs of the
school to members of the Delaware
legislature. The facts as related
follow:
The Delaware Industrial School
for Girls is a State reformatory
and has been in existence as such |.
for about twenty-five years, dur
ing which time 1923 girls from all
parts of the State have been COM
mitted to it's care by Courts and
Justices of the Peace. None are
admitted, except on commitments
after hearing, on charges which
show they need moral training.
At present seventy-one girls are
in the care of the School, of whom
ten ale from Kent County and
seven from Sussex County. The
average number in recent years is
about siXty-six.
By gifts from individuals inter
ested, the School acquired and still
owns a lot of land and building in
Wilmington, from which it expects
to realize about 100000 when it is
sold. The building having become
overcrowded, and being surround
ed by residences, the Board used
a legacy to buy, for about $4,000,
seventy-five acres of land IN
Brandywine Hundred, secluded,
accessible, and suitable for farm
ing. Two stone buildings were
there erected in 1914, which with
the sewage disposal and water sup
ply systems, roads, grading, etc
cost about $4,000, and in May
1915, the School moved to the free
Com of real country life.
The plan of building and moving
was laid before the legislature a
its session in 1918, and $4,000 wa
then appropriated for the build
ings. After the plan had been car
ried out, the need of money to com
plete payment of the buildings wa
laid before the Legislature OF l9ls
Probably because the old buildin
had not been sold, no appropria
ton was made at that session 10
buildings, but appropriations Wer
then made of $1,000 for 1915 an
1916 to pay interest on the deb
Since then $4,000 was borrowe

Attempt To Kill MOtOrman

While the conductor was turning
the trolley pole of a car at the
Richardson Park terminal on
Thursday night two loads from
shotgun were fired at Motorman
M. H. German who was standing
on the front platform of the car.
The two flashes came out of the
surrounding darkness, and the shot
splattered over the car front.
Some of the grains struck German
on the ear and the side of his face.
The shooter was not seen, and no
trace Of him has been found by city
or county officers.

fine moral and physical tonic OF

labor for producing their food sup

full for the girls do real farm work
with real success. Last fall they
cut, husked and hauled in the crop
of seven hundred bushels of fine
corn, trucked about five acres, and
did other manual labor with eager
ness and interest. But without
farm buildings and equipment they
are handicapped. A barn, chicken
house, and such like buildings, live

badly, and probably some work
must be done to make the sewage
