The Trustees
Report on WOmen's
RefOrmatory Shows
Need New Building

There has been steady increase in
the number of commitments to the
State Reformatory for Women at
Skowhegan during the two previous
years, according to the fourth biennial
report of the trustees of that institu-
ton for the fiscal years 1928 and 1924,
which has been filed with Governor
Brewster
THE work Of the reformatory has
gone on as usual with such enlarge
ment and adjustment as changed con-
ditfons demanded" the trustees assert
In their report. 1.-THE institution has
made progress along all lines in the
past two years. 1t has passed from
the experimental formative stage to a.
condition Of greater assurance and
achievement. Prohting by the expert
ences Of the past, with a more ample
equipment and better facilities for
meeting the varied needs as they arise
we hope to make the coming two-year
period Of greater progress and use
fulness.
Discipline ana Training
''The girls are detailed in groups
for the different kinds Of work at the
institution, laundry, cooking and
Kitchen work, care Of the building and
sewing. In the last named depart
ment a great deal of fancywork Gem
broidery and crochet work. has been
done. which has had a very good mar
ket. The girls receive a percentage
of the sale price on all articles they
make, this arrangement having been
made at the suggestion of Governor
Baxter. Several of the girls also have
rendered very efficient service on the
farm.
During the past year about one
half Of the girls under our care have
been out on parole. It has been a
cause of great satisfaction to the
trustees that a majority of them have
made good, conducting themselves we'll
and giving faithful service to their
employers. Several Of these young
women have married honest and relia-
BILE men and are now living normal and
worthy lives.
"All of the girls who can profit by
it are given instruction in reading,
spelling, arithmetic, geography and
history through the school year.
Effort is made on the part Of the
officials to provide suitable recreation
and entertainment. Individuals and
various organizations in Skowhegan
have been generous in giving time and
money to provide entertainment that
is wholesome and helpful. Outdoor
games are encouraged when weather

permits. Music, reading and other
forms of social life and activity are
encouraged.
Religious services are now regu-
larly maintained. the pastors Of the
Skowhegan churches succeeding each
other in conducting the same.
Recommendation
IF the reformatory is to receive
women who are violent to a degree
that calls for physical restraint,
suitable provision must be made for
them. The order and, discipline of
the institution break down when drug
addicts and psychopathics are al
lowed to mingle freely with the larg-
er body of inmates. Such cases
should be segregated for their own
good and the good of others. Dis
turbances and disorder are sure to
follow when women of this type come
committed to the reformatory with
no suitable provision for giving them
the care they reed.
"A building or section Of a build
ing already provided is perhaps the
greatest and most acute need at
the present time. It has been exceed
ingly difficult at times to maintain
the discipline that is necessary to
realize the objects for which the

Claiming that provision for ade-
