GIRLS SCHOOL
PLACE OF HOPE


Continued From Page u
Three were caught on the grounds.
Another was captured in Indian
apolis the next day
DIR. Kenosha Sessions, tire superin-
tendent, heard the news unworried.
There were no frenzied orders to
lock the other cottages.
1T Is better that a few should es-
cape than that the many others
should feel az IL they were in
prison" she explained. Those girls
bad the escape habit Some OF
them had run away from home often
and they had escaped from here be-
fore. We almost always get them
back"
Sometimes girl will leave alone,
or with one other girl. When that
happens, DR.. Sessions diagnoses the
case as one of inconsistencies.
Home Tie Is Strong
That's a strong tie-home." she
said. often it's not much OF home
the girl leaves, but she misses it,
even though she may not want to
stay when she gets there"
Later, when the girls have been
paroled from the school. or have
reached the age of 20 and been dis
charged, they experience a new kind
of homesickness-for the school It,
self. Sometimes they are permitted
to return for few days until they
overcome the inconsistencies.
To many of them II is the best
home they have known" DR.. SEES
sions explained.
And real home it is, with its
pretty red brick cottages, each with
a director as mother"
Each girl has her own small room,
with it's white iron bed, her own
marked towels and her own trinkets.

spect possession" DIR. Sessions ex.
planned.
Provision for Play
In each cottage is a large living
room, where the girls gather dur
ing recreation periods, to talk, play
games. play the piano or read.
It Is land of hope, is this school.
When a girl leaves the hospital,
where she goes upon entering the
school, for examination and treat
ment of any diseases, she has a talk
with DR.. Sessions, to whom she tells
her history. Then the door Of the
ugly past is locked, and the key
given to the girl. Even the cottage
director knows her only as she is,
not as she has been.
Every one works to help her get
out of the school, to begin new
life. When she leaves depends upon
herself She must go through a
period Of training. in which she
learns to keep house, sew. cook.
iaunder clothes. etc. When she has
finished the last course, in cooking,
and has a good conduct record. she
is ready to go before the board of
trustees and ask for parole. She
must take with her a dress she has
made, one she has rnended and one
she has washed, and loaf Of bread
she has baked.

ADJUSTMENTS
AUGUSTA OPERA HOUSE

1t seems as rest away from the
screen brought back a well-known
player in 'fit' form. Two returns
to the screen in one single program
of two features Is quite a coinci-
dence, especially when this was not
planned but a strict matter Of COIN
cidence. We know that Alice Joyce
was absent for some time; and we
also realize not having had a picture
of Harry Carey for the longest of
whites. Yet Alice Joyce never lost
her prestige, nor Harry Carey his
popularity with motion picture fans.
Today Alice Joyce appears in 1.-THE
White Man." a remarkably colorful
and delightful picture: and Harry
Carey is featured in Roaring Rails"
at the Augusta Opera House. Spec
tators who saw both features yester-
day announced they were excellent,
and with emphasis.
Today the management has Sc
cured the services of an out Of town
motion picture operator so as to ac-
commodate its patrons with continu-
Gus showings. three complete pro-
grams, consisting of the two features.
and the serial. 1.-THE Riddle Rider"
at p. NJ, P. NJ, and P. NJ, last
ing until 1890 p. M.
In this way patrons can come at
whatever time they like and with
draw at that particular point when
they came in, as the pictures come
around again. The same popular
prices for continuous of 10-15-25
cents will be maintained, with at
fractions which. even singly, can
compete with anything on the mar
ket as entertainments.-A
