President Wilson has offered to give S50,000 from his contingent fund to- ward the erection of these institutions. It will be necessary for us to raise S50,O00 among the people of Arkansas to secure this amount, but we must raise $l00,000 if we would have reall, creditable institutions. When their construction is provided for, these will then be taken over and main tained by the state.
 Let me make it plain that there will be two institutions, widely separated. In one the dependent girls will be cared for, with an isolation ward fo, the delinquent girls. These girls will be thoroughly trained and fitted for real service. The other institution will be reformatory for women. At the present time women cannot be in- carcerated at the penitentary. We must provide some place for them. If we are successful in this campaign girls and women from every county may be sent to the institutions and for that reason every county should be intensely interested. I hope every woman in Arkansas will see it to be her duty to become actively engaged in this campaign.
 Yours very truly,
 Annie R. Brough,
 Chairman Woman's Division

Mrs. BrOugh's Letter

Every mother and sister in the State of Arkansas is or should be in- tcrested in the campaign which is now being conducted to raise funds for the erection of a Girls Industrial School and a Womans Reformatory. The need for such institutions is impera- tive and the United States govern ment has asked that immediate steps be taken for their construction for the protection of our womanhood and our soldiers. This makes it war measure and it must be dealt with as such. Tn my opinion the women Of Arkansas can best show their patriot ism by the intensity of their interest in this campaign.
 Many people wonder why they should be interested in such an instl- tuition and for their benefit will state that no home in Arkansas is immune Every day girls, strangers to the city and absolutely unprotected, arrive in Little Rock from various counties Some are from homes of wealth and education. Unless they are immedl- ately taken care of their careers be- come sad ones. These girls have been handled as we'll as possible by organi- cations of Little Rock but with state institutions, equipped for their care these girls may be saved for society
