DR.. Clymer, are "a thousand percent better than
when first went TO the State Industrial School
for Girls"
Toilets Not Flushed.
Foul air from unfushed toilets fills the
building night and day. There is no water on
the second floor of the building, for the reason
that the motor pump which supplies the
building has been out Of order for weeks. In
the hot dirty kitchen, the large sinks are mere
"camouflage." There has been no water to
use in them for many days. Stops are borne out
Of the building in tubs and dumped upon the
ground.
Sanitation in the home is a joke. In the
laundry are eight small washtubs, few wash
boards and sad irons and with this mea-
ger equipment eight small children, rang
ing from 10 to l6 years DID, do the washing
for the institution. There is no attempt made
to sterilize either the clothing or bedding. Bed
clothes from cots occupied by uninfected girls
il washed in the same tub with that from the
