MANAGED OX A FAMILY PL AX

' The Lads at the Reform School Brought Under Light but Effective Discipline. Everything of a Healthful and nannies Character Allowed for Amusement Work and Sindj Made to Serve Very Well Together. Tho Reform School for Boys is exactly vrhat its same implies, and not what many people think a penal institution. Ilero are 4.V) bold, bad, blight boys, the aggregation forming the quintessence of the infant deviltry, and, to a great extent, the jnvenile depravity of the State. Kvery one is there for some otiense xuore or less serions, begotten in the spirit of mischief, or of maKce, on the spur of the moment, in the sadden heat of temper or after long and earefnl planniLS in cold malignant hate. Elderly gentlemen ho in their youth plnndered peach trees and melon patches, swung cats -with knotted tails over clothes-lines, or even burned sheds and nnoccupied shanties to see a run made by the tire department, might look upon the crime1 of many of these youngsters as exceedingly venial. Not so the law; and it is well that the appointed rules to regulate the conduct of in dividcals in a community for the conservation cf the general weal provides for nipping these offenders in tbe bad. In this institution nearly every crime in the penal codo has ita representatives, the entire gamut of wickedness being run from Cetit larc? ny to mnrdcr. The gTeater numerare nent ns "incorrigibles," this term heing made to cover a gTeat variety of ofiennes. The larger boys, nearly two hundred of them, are criminal who would bo in the penitentiary were it not for the hu manity of the Commonwealth, which provided and maintains this reform school. Here hundreds of boys arc reclaimed and become useful-members of society, though many resume their criminal associations after leaviug tho school, and become habitual law-breaker.s, chronic felons. passing tho greater portion of their lives in jails and penitentiaries, home. too. die upon the callows. But tho good work douo by the chool is shown by the fact that 2.4VO boys have been discharged from that institution 6inceitwaa founded. Of these, f.wcompucd with tuo creat number, liave become criminals. How much greater the number of criminals might have been without tho school is In It to the imagination. The grounds about the institution are beautifully lient. in nark, orchard and gar den. There is work, study and play for the boys, and the moxt ys teinatio discipline, firm hut kindlv. Th.ro are ten families. that is groups of forty or lifty boys, housed together under au officer called house father, and each family has Its base-uau ground, bats and balls being furnished by the institution. Ou Saturday afternoons, clubs from tho o"trr round fre quently play against tho Reform School boys, and the latter are nearly always victorious. Manv bovn tret a cheerfni home life they have never known. They get food, clothes and instruction, and are taught to work. There are ninety colored boys in tue institution, ami in no way are they separated from their white associates. The entertainments given by the youngsters aro something wonderful. Combinations of minstrels are got together that wcyild shame the accomplishments of. any negro minstrels on the road. The new boys com ing into the school add continually to the fund of talent, and there is nothing new in smifine or dancing that the outside world can get which the boys of the school do not early see. There is a gymnasium under the large dining hall and others under four of the family buildings. Fifteen boys are formed into a martial band that meets tho approv al of their fellows, and no warmer commendation need be given. Tho hoys go to school half the day and work the other naif. V ben tuev come In at noon from wort they assemble on the grounds, di vided into families, and march to dinner to the music of tho band. At supper the eame thing is gone through. At the Sun day morning inspection there are 430 boys in line, in meir punuay ciouies, suods blackened, and looking as neat and sol dierly as a crack reguueut of regulars. With tho band at their head they march to chapel. There is a graceful . drill, peculiar to the school. "Kemove! ' V.vflrir 1at' -iifi- u t li vicnp r f i cap; 'Caps!" and oft they come. Kepl;iceI" "fcalute 2 :J 4. Line, about face'.' lootball is played but base-ball is given the preference. .John u. Blake, now supenn tendent of the Home for Feeble-minded Children, made his way into the affections of the boys the first time they saw him. by kicking the ball higher and further than nact ever been known in the annals of tho institution, and so he was chosen chaplain. In winter the umial house games are played dominoes, checkers, everything but cards. Each boy is allowed, to a creat ex tent, to select his own kind of enjoyment. There is a library at the Kcbool, and many of the boys have a relish for books, i'ersons over the fctate occasionally contribute, suitable literature to the library, but not near ho much as is needed and could be etlectivciv used. There are thirty-six brick buildings, of wnicu more tiiau half have been erected during tho time Mr. Charlton has been su perintendent. The brick-laying was done uy me uoys. ana me supcriuirnuentsays no will have sixty cood brick-lavers this yar. As 0 cents will lit a man for this trade, that belli nil tho capital required outside of the worker's head and hands, it will be seen that here are feisty boys wijo are qualiheil to earn their living in a good trade. The bovs are brick-makers, also, aud will make HLO.' 000 bricks this year, which will be used in the largrt tunnels, t veil feet high by live wiue. running to trio various buildings l 4. . T , : : 1 1 1 T T , ! auoui lae grouuus. i jjies Will oo laid, in toem to convey steam for heating. Some of the bovs who mold brick make 4.0U0. others 5,000 a day, but aro never allowed to do so more than one day in tho week. lhere is some inducement to labor and ex cellence, as vac h year more than $1,000 is paid out to boys us awards for extra work. Home of the boys uto hkillful makers of illuminating gas, others are bakers, painters, plumbers. carpenters, bhoc- . makers, tailors, washers, ironers, etc. The conservatory is in charge of a practical florist and a half dozen boys are tinder his direction in caring for the lawns. Above all, the boys lcani politeness and business ways. They rise at C a. m.; breakfast at 6:S0 and go to work at 7. Thte is an intermission from 11 a, 3i, to 1:30 p, m. and from r to 7:15 is supper aud out-door recreation. From 7:15 to 8 amusements, tinging, etc., iu the families are in order, and at 8 the boys retire. The larger boys are permitted to stay up until v v. M. un Saturday night an tue boy are allowed to stay up later. and 6ieep until a later Hour ou fouuday morning. There is a fish pond at Fine institution filled with ram. For a loutr time the bovs were not allowed to tish iu it, so the pro- .' - line carpwere undisturbed and have multiplied until there are untold thousands. many of them being very large. It is no unusual thing to catch one tweutv-eight inches long. When fishing was prohibited the youngsters tried in every way to get at the tish, and poles. Hues and hooks were found secreted in all sorts of nnllkely places. Some time ago permission was given to every one to lish whenever not em ployed at work or other duties. For a few days the rond was lined with anglers, and carpwere caught by the hundred. This was too tame and spiritless sport for the J M . I . jaas, ana tney tooK no futher interest. Once in a while a small bo?, iiauallv a new comer, may be seen vexinr; the poof, but he too, jsoon gives up tiio sport. There are only six boys in tho institution who cannot read and write. ho boy is allowed to work until he can write a fairly good letter. None of them want to stay in school all daw but earh ef them wants the half-day of work. So the new boy attacks the writing lesson trith amazing vigor, and when he occomFlishes the feat of writing a letter he gets he coveted half-day of work, with each half-day of schooling. m ...
