Klorc 4 Sir 4 11 I > that Anderson Intelligencer. of th< the s In the court or general sessions at not Greenville a few days ago two white phegj girls, aged 15 and 16 years, were ar- w ^ reigned on a charge of petty larceny. thnt They admitted their guilt, and Judge year , P:lnce, a big-hearted and kindly man We 8 was confronted with the cold neceBsslty of sentencing them to a term of DanC( Imprisonment along with other pris- nattol oner because the state has no reform woul( school where wayward girls of tend- anno, er age can be sent and given a chance e(1 QI to turn from lives of sin to lives of that respectability and usefulness. spellc Prom the newspaper account of rcaso their appearance In court we learn mean that they had left home as wilful and a v{c foolish girls will sometimes do; that (jecia] they got into bad company and had restrj contracted the habit, of drinking ? gressi whiskey; that it was an easy step to 3part go further and begin to lead im- sman moral lives. Once upon the downward road, there was none to pity |nter{ and none to help them retrace the path of sin and shame. popul "Both girls wore short skirts scar- younj cely below their knees" runs the Morgi newspaper story, "and though rath- cold er Bhabblly dressed, were not like in older appearance women of the under- issue world, but rather gave the appear- tween ance of ignorant children who fail- of rh ed to see the horror of the situation; cipal and, even If they did see It, they were lntert powerless to avert It. What chance bond have they? Where can they go? wtthii What can they do? Those were "Blea some of the questions that flitted nurtu through the minds of those present. Bleas and the usual looks passed around into t the court room where men see dav Nlcho by day those who are hardened to Kin. crime, or who appear as criminals. r^j were lacking. There were no smirks, jaluj 110 sly winks at one another, but jiko t solemn-faced men looked at the (t Wft| tragedy?a real, present tragedy and }nR n not one depicted on the films?of pOSjn two girls, helpless, friendless and t;lkp , with absolutely nothing before them in the world." , F Following the suggestion of the court, the grand jury requested the presiding Judge to present to the Th< governor the urgent necessity of an that f institution for the reformation of woma female prisoners who are so unfor- same xunaie as 10 violate tne laws, thus well subjecting themselves to conditions dislnt that encourage vice and lawlessness, proba and naked that the governor be urged evidei ? to recommend to the general assem- |n An " bl> the passage of an act for the re- pe( lief of erring girls. mpn The Greenville case has attracted ceive much attention already, and it will name emphasize the unfairness of neglect- cided ing helpless girls hy the state when minis relief was long ago granted to boys and p of a similar case The reform school state * at Florence for boys has been main- I talned for many years, and it is rec- jU8tjc ogntzed as an lnstltuton of vast pos- ptatnf slbilitles in remaking and reshaping <<why the lives of young boys who while atitut not criminals at heart, have yet com- waf?e! mitted some criminal act or have aame shown an incorrigible disposition. view At the last session of the general oity b assembly a bill was introduced by pay|n Senator Sherard of Anderson In the nri08 senate and by Representative Royd the si of Spartanburg in the house to es- lt.g tablish an industrial home for the re-1 (jp form of wayward girls. This bill is joss t now on the calendar .if both houses end will pass at the next session of then i the legislature. The proposed act oxpi0| provides for the admission of girls (Po ^ between the ages of eight and eighteen who have been convicted of any wonie violation of law or who are being mpn brought up under immoral and vie- ea ious sui roundings.
