taken to boys farm. where they are
kept at the expense OF the city and
taught a trade by competent teach
ers- The next class is of those who
are wholly delinquent and they are
dealt with as usual. Then there is a
class OF boys who are forced to work
to support dependents when they
placed in a school and the depend

that account the legislature elected to represent the

It is unnecessary to go all the ground again

that most of the anti-sufage majority is attributed to
voters of foreign birth who IN addition to holding IN
