Y |BEMID]I BRIEFS 55 MTW THAT DOG IS HERE. There is a footy littel dogge z ‘Whych dwelles across ye strete. Methinks he fynds unbounded joys Inne letting loose hys bleate. Ye bleate, it is a measly thyng Whanne hearde throughout ye day, But whenne ye shades of nyte have fell, Ye bleate becomes a braye. It eachoes through ye stille nyte With resonaunces deepe That shake ye leves upon ye trees & makes a mocke of sleepe. Eache neighbour curseth carefullie Ye puppe, hys pedigree; But still ye footy littel dogge Makes joyous melodie. v Why is it, whanne ye worlde doth sleepe, That dogges delyte toe syng & howl & growl & Snarle & braye & yelle lyke anything? —XKennth Roberts in Boston Post.

The Story of Maggie - (Continued from. first page). . . asleep at home, while even now some wretched ~child may be confined in that dark and lomely lock-up.” April 2 this letter came: STATE OF MINNESOTA Executive Department St. Paul My Dear Mrs. Pearson: -Permit me to supplement the let- ter 1 wrote you a day or two ago and to say that the State Board of Con- irol, with some persuasion, has adopted a resolution providing that all cases of corporal punishment and solitary confinement of either boys or girls must be immediately reported to the Board of Control for their infor- mation and action. 1 think this practically covers ev- erything that can be done atthe pres- ent time. I think the club women of the state will feel that a great step in the right direction has been made in the matter. of punishment and medi- cal attendance. It is my hope and purpose to visit the schools again soon and we will do everything in our power to keep things working along well. T write this because I know you are deeply interested and will be glad to Very respectfully, JOHN A. JOHNSON, Governor. Three months later~I visited the girls’ school for the express purpose of interesting the new woman physi- cian in the case of Maggie and one or two others. 2 She did not remember Maggie. She ‘Was sure my statements concerning her condition must be a mistake or about her. I have told the story of Maggie here and I have told of her neglected condition to hundreds of ‘women in the past five years, but not until within the last few days did I find that I was to know more of the child’s life. Although her wrongs had been so close to my heart I had never seen Maggie. 1 did not know what had become of her until, greatly to my surprise, she was pointed out as one of the girls about to testify at the Board of Control rooms. Her testi- mony was delayed and she was taken to Red Wing. 1 was forbidden tof talk with her concerning herself and every word of her statement before the board was new to me. She told of being whipped by Miss Kassing, July 26, 1906 (three months after the board had passed the new resolution concerning corporal pun- ishment)—whipped with a- piece of garden hose, and of afterwards being | beaten on the hands !or’!nflsl.lnx on seeing the doctor.

Placed in the training school at the age of 8, shattered nervously and ruined physically, her tortured little body was given over to the keeping of the great State of Minnesota. WHY? o Because, for every reason, home was the very spot on earth where she could not be. “I hadn’t done anything,” she said, “but there was no place for me.” At the hearing the other day her commitment papers Wwere passed around. as evidence and the voice of tively lowered as hie precluded a lead- ing question by saying: “I hate to ask you Maggie—I really do, but—" By -the divine law of love, the un- speakable sorrows of her young life should have surrounded this child with the halo of pity, her tortured body should have been exempt from further brutalizing. These facts were known to Miss Kassing. Her one sentence to Miss Benton five years ago showed it, and yet she denied her medical attention and—SHE BEAT HER. A woman who, knowing all con- ditions, would do such an act is ut- terly lacking in every womanly in- stinct. She is a crying DISGRACE TO HER SEX! For nearly nine years Maggie was in the training school. For five years, after she was ready to go, she wait- ed, for, as she said, “Nobody wanted me; I was so sickly.” Twice she took a place and had to return as she could not work.
