of an industrial school for girls, as well as boys, and that the boys reform school needed many innovations. So she at once set to work to bring about these reforms. She worked earnestly and patiently, never fer a moment losing sight of the good in which she was so interested. Miss Houston went to Little Rock at her own expense and interviewed the members of the legis- lature, many Of whom were personal friends, in the interest of the schools, and was rewarded by seeing the bill pass both houses, become a law and the appropriation made to maintain the same. While this was wonder full work, and Miss Houston is to be sincerely congratulated, yet it is not one-tenth part of the many things she does daily for suffering humanity, and we of the juvenile court board wish to individually and collectively thank and compliment her for her efficient services for Pine Bluff and Jefferson county.
