rization is given the judge to send
the child to the institution. The
court order and the petition are
delivered to the superintendent at
at the time OF admission. Another
clause in the law governing the
school states, that any Negro under
eighteen years Of age serving a
sentence in the State penitentiary
which expires before his eighteenth
birthday may be transferred to
Oakley Training School. This can
be done however only upon the dis
creation of the superintendent of
the State penitentiary and of the
Judge Of the circuit court in which
the boy was sentenced.
The length of time the child re-
mains in the institution depends on
his individual record. 1t takes most
children not less than year and
sometimes much longer to make
sufficient progress to be recon-
mended by the superintendent for

Oakley Training

Last week the public was INFORM
ed of how the Oakley Institution
for Delinquent youth came into
being. Now we wish to acquaint the
public with admission to require
ment.
There have been instances of par
emf asking the institution to take
their boys and care for them until
they become of age. Unfortunately
this cannot be done unless the child
is taken through the proper chan
nels, and his needs indicate that he
should have institutional care OF
this type.
Any delinquent Negro child in
Mississippi between the ages OF
seven and eighteen years Of age
may be admitted to the reforma-
tory. He must have violated a
municipal ordinance or state law
involving moral turpitude, i. e.
conduct contrary to state laws. In
this case, a county judge circuit
Judge, or chancellor must certify
in writing that the youth is IN
opinion delinquent and ought to be
admitted to retormatory.
The juvenile judges have been
requested by the Board Of Trustees
Of the institution to refer the name
of the child in question to the
secretary of the Trustee Board, DR..
p H. Eason, who refers the case
for study to the Child Welfare De-
partment of the Department of Pub
lie Welfare. If the investigation
proves that the child seems mentally
equipped to profit from the train
ing offered at the school, autho-

possible inch, captain"
keep on, though. Might be a
current that could move the body.
gotta be positive Bogarty isn't
lying on the bottom of that lake"
"How is the bottom?" Aggie
asked.
"Eh?. Oh. Sandy. Some rocks,
Muck - farther up. Snags. But
when we quit, it'll be because we
are pretty certain Bogarty isn't in
that pond! l must say, Plum, I'm
grateful to you. Sort of relieved,
too. You know - those people are
all good friends of mine. And
they're pretty good people-as peo-
pie go - excepting one or two. l
hate to see 'em in a mess. And it
gives you feathers in the stomach
when you find yourself-in the line
Of duty-wondering which of your
best friends might be guilty Of a
murder"
Sarah had taken to her bed; her
mumps were undoubtedly worse. 1t
seemed to Aggie, however, that her
physical decline was due more to
mental causes. She greeted his
statement that Bogarty's body was
probably not in the pond with a
sullenness he had never seen in her.
She said she was too tired to talk.
The afternoon had faded into a yell
low sunset across which streamed
blush clouds in long, horizontal
pennons. 1t was a northern sky.
Aggie went to his room and looked
at it awhile as he dressed for dinner
He reflected that the act repre-
scented a complete change of his
original program. A double change
in fact. He had at first been loath
to dine at the clubhouse; he had
agreed TO do so because Sarah had
wanted to know the minor scandals
brewing there. Then he had revolted
against that, because the scandals
had risen to vast if shadowy pro-
portions. Now he was preparing to
go voluntarily to the club because
Of his own consuming interest. He
had become, indeed, a prototype OF
his aunt-an enlarged prototype
full of curiosity, eager to pry into
anybody's intimate life.
He went up the steps Of the club
house almost blithely. His absorp-
ton had submerged his social awk-
wardness. There we're people in the
dining room and people in the sola-
rum. Jack Browne was standing
near the front door, talking to Mrs.
Drayman. When he saw Aggie, he
left her.
"Glad you're up" he said ami
ably. "Place is like mausoleum.
I mean-rather-a haunted house.
Everybody has the filters" He
grinned boyishly. "You know, Ag-
gle, that beard Of yours gave me a
shock, the day you checked in. Did
| show it,"
Aggie smiled back. Moderately"
"I'm sorry as the deuce. Beth's
around. Looking for you. Talking
about you like a windmill. You've
made a conquest there, pal"
Aggie's grin precipitated.
