and some whom, for the security of
the public as well as their own well
fare, she will keep in seclusion so
long as the law will permit. Equally
without doubt she has other girls,
good and clean at heart as the aver
age school girl, who have lost their
chastity almost as thoughtlessly as
baby filings a fragile toy upon the
floor, or who have been in their ig-
norance and childish folly the victims
of men much older then themselves.
These girls are not sent there be-
cause they are bad, or because their
homes are bad, or because they have
no homes at all, or because, almost
by accident, they have had bad ex-
periences which home influences can
not be depended on to counterfeit.
Shall they at twelve, thirteen or even
sixteen or seventeen years of age be
branded with the scarlet letter? I
reject with all the earnestness of
which am capable the imputation of
immortality" of character to such
girls. / believe that in the sight of
God they are not half SO wicked as
the girl of clean sex life but hard
and selfish heart who insistaSA upon
her own ease and enjoymen1 while
[ her mother breaks herself down with
family cares. And I know ~ I
know anything in the field where l.
have worked and studied for many
years, that such girls are easily
yes, easily-made fit associates for
clean-minded boys and fit wives for
decent men when they are given a
chance. They are not bad, but un-
fortunate; and their experiences,
good reader, are in all human proba-
bility what your daughters would
have been if she had been born into
like home and grown to girlhood in
like surroundings.
The very keynote of Mrs. Morse's
work is discrimination in her methods
with girls of differing character and
needs. She distinguishes between
the bad girl and the girl who is not
bad but has had bad experiences. She
seeks to educate her wards for life
in the community and not in an in
stitution, and she is wise enough to
know that the sooner she can get
them into contact with normal school
and social conditions, with safety to
themselves and others, the better for
them and for the state of which they
are citizens. Sometimes this is done
by sending them back to their homes;
sometimes by placing them in other
and better homes. But among, so
many there must be some for whom
a middle ground between institution
! al restraints and the freedom of the
community is, for time, the poorer
place. l trust her and the Board of
Control to make the selection; and so,
apparently, do the people immediate
ly concerned. -
But coming back to the main point,
| is it not possible, Judge Roeser and
readers of the Journal-Press, without
fgiving way to sentimentality or low
ering any true standards of conduct,
to keep in mind in our attitude toward
young girls who have gone wrong the
fact to which, if you> search your
memory, your own observation will
bear witness, that the sin which the
welfare of society demands shall be

girls, with varying degrees of moral
culpability? And surely you will
