The fact that a Iteform School Is
called nti "Industrial School" or roa
med down by any other puphwnlimi, or
that It la well liiaiiuged, does In no way
urfcet the pilnclplo under discussion.

a child's penitentiary because he Is a
truant, deceitful or a liar, nor have
we any right to tako the easiest way
and send lilm on" beenu&e lib has no
home or because he has a hail homo.
If we deal with the boy at all, we
must remember that he Is a child; that
he Is huinnti, that he has probably moir
Rood than bad In his makeup but that
uliil honesty, but like well conducted
urljons, they exist only for n sad
necessity, A Kerurni School Is for the
earn and training of boys nud i;lrlit
who by reason of their acts are consid
ered beyond oi dliuiry control. Thoy
me so "bad" or so Ineorrlglblo thut
tho Slate takes them In hand, commits
them through Its police and judiciary
departments (which we all nnturnlly
shrink from) to u place whero they lire
deprived of their liberty us individuals,
for their own good presumably but nUo
lor the protection of the State,
The placo then Is for this class of
bos ami glrla.
Many of them are very "bad," thiev
ish, Immoral, criminally culpable. And,
na their age alleviates, they are sent to
Itefnrm School Instead of to Jail or
penitentiary.
The process of Kelt Inn thum thcie,
nirestliiK them, and putting them In
Jnli overnight perhaps, then In the cure
ol an ollleer of the law, is a wrong nud
an Injustice even to u child who has
(played truant,- deceived and lied. In
lime he may learn that these acts were
wmug and be sorry for them, hut he
will know also that either age or Ignor
ance or want of ethical discrimination
exonerates him from permanent blight
as It has thousands of 'Other children
who have grown up to be"good men
nud women. He nil! grow up to read
blo'iinphy an well as history wherein
he will find the records of some very
"bad" bojs who had better training
than he had, and who dually givw up
to Im good and great.
lleeause uow-a-days we don't publish
nny more good) -goody Ixiy tules but
put down the facts of the case.
And if he becomes a physician or
takes up special studies or children, he
will know that the majority of boys
and Kills did thlni-s that were worse
lor them than truancy, deceit or lying,
anil that they did these, things not
from Inherent badness, but owing to n
natural Instinct uiigulded by knowl
edge. It should not take any ouu long. It
seems to me. to see that un Industrial
school cannot be the place for boyit and
girls who lire merely mischievous, haul
to control, dlxohedlent, wilful, deceit
ful, liars, or without natural guardians.
H children not bad have "vile." homes
and catches more files; and that by thu
pioper attitude coupled with tho neces
sary sympathy and training, wo cn:i
develop so much of thu good that the
bad will not signify so far as the lad's
genera! character Is concerned.
Knowing this as Intelligent parents
must, which of them would bn willing
to send even n truant to an "Industrial
School" for Improvement?
Ask Governor Carter or V. O. Smith
or Dr. Moore or any other MAN lr he
would he willing to put his most dis
obedient boy or tlrl In the charge ot
the best managed lleform School in
tho world! And yet, there is no differ
ence, for these good people might have
n child who would piny the truant, bo
deceitful or "sauce" his betters. I cit
ed the cflbo of ltaHisa because he had
been mentioned. All that ho Is said to
be is no worse than what we know of
some or our best men who didn't ro to
the lleform school. They played tru
ant time and again; they pot only ito
celved thev lied; they even stole like
T. 1). Aldrlch did and Mark Twain
Lincoln ran off three times to escape
doing a bit or work he didn't like, and
Phillips llronks dear, good l'lillllps
llrooks "took the wrong way to
school and spent the day fishing In a
running brook two miles away." Why
didn't they rend him to nn Industrial
School? Thank the Lord he had some
body that aired enough for him to pa
tiently disentangle these ktuks In a
Jry human skein.
Someday when I get time I am going
to give you n list of some of the "hud
things good boyH have done that Is,
bad boys who grew Into good men.
And tho list will startle you who
luue no children; who hnvu forgotten
that joii weie us bad us the "next one";
to you who Imvjjost our faith In the
moral elasticity or childhood but still
;4n your faith to a false iin-Christllku
creed.
All this lou't, a matter of "public
sympathy," of blng Informed or un
informed about a particular cure. The
I'rlnclple goes above nud he)oud all
this.

The Value of
Good Clothes
Women arc attractive because tliey nre women. Hut wlio sliall deny tlmt their nttractumess

her gown. And why not? Man jeMs at this and with much philosophy assmes ns he loves tier
for herself; jet hows like a slave to her with the rustling silk.
In a different way 'tis the same with men. The poorly dressed is snubbed. I lis clothes are
taken as his market value, and 'tis money that does the talking. The man whose clothes are cheap
looking is called a "man" even by the children and he with the swell raiment is classified a "gen
tleman." 'Tis a pity, but 'tis trite. The world judges ns at fust sight by ihe clothes we wear, and
when jott reason it out, what else can the poor woild do.
Character, honesty and the cardinal virtues cannot be put on the surface, (and they do not suf
fer by association with good clothes), so for lack of something better, for the lime being, at least,
the world judges a man by what he wears.
