District Commissioners yesterday: WaSHINGTON, April 5, 1 | Honorable Conumissioners District of Columbia 1 baye the honor to state that the main | reason why the outcast girls of the work- house, to whose deplorable condition Col. Lubey bas kindly called your attention, “so often repeat their offenses,” and theretore be- come so burdent ome to the almshouse, is be- | cause only one-balf of the victims of the social vice, and that the weaker and more ignorant balf are treated as criminals. | _ When the work-house girl serves out ber senterce, and is again upon the street, home- less, penniless, and degraded, any man with money in his pockets may buy her, and tm- mediately secure her arrest’ for soliciting vice. Believing you to be just and honorable men, and sitcerely devoted to the interests of this District, I therefore respectfully call your attention to the ney, for a reform- atory institution for weak and vicious men, where. &s Col. Lubey would say, “their time and labor can be utilized, both to themselves and to the state, and where a special effort can be made and certain influences thrown around them looking to a change and refor- mation in their lives, and moulding their minds happler end.” ¢ of these unfortunate men have large reckless! degradation of these outcast girls,and the preceeds of the labor of such men in a refor- matory would be a@ blessing totheir wives and children. Others, who have no families, are so gay and debonair as to be able to em- ploy, the rest of their leisure time in destroy- ng the ce and purity of innocent ciris. The effect upon the community of the ar- rest, conviction, kind, reformatory care and training of one of these fascinating men until he can safely be trusted upon the street | Would be wholesome and purifying. No | Punishment inflicted upon woman would | compare with it. In regard to a reformatory institution for | Outeasi girls, permit me to say with the edi- tor ot THE Star, ‘‘Manifesily proud man does not shine as a reformer in this particu- lar field of sip;” and men who are good and wire are quite willing to entrust this work to the bands and hearts of competent women. As Col. Lubey and your honorable board are well acquainted with the fact that the board of trustees of the Girls’ Reform School, acting under a charter granted. them by the District legislature in June, 1573, are faith- fully devoting themselves to the work of se- | curing just, humane and efficient shabbesineor| not oply for eee care and reformation of the outcast girls of the workhouse, but for the separate protection, Christian care and | training of the younger and more innocent girls, who have just fallen into sin, I trust | you iad eevee id kind 2 bn our pro- gress by offering an apparently substi- tute for the institution we ask for. Further, aside from the present excellent use to which the old Georgetown alms-nouse is devoted, it lies so low and is aap non under the immediate observation some Of the finest families of aeorn heights poo = will ve in vod log 7: place for medical care wretched outeasts, or of the far more pitiful and suffering cases of the unfortunate be “out of the world,” their nameless children. therefore pray that you will not adopt the ed in Col.
