HEAD OF GLEN MILLS FABM SCHOOL | |
TO DISCUSS SOCIAL GUARDIANSHIP ||
Mrs. Falconer Pioneer in Work
The old House of Refuge for Girls in
Philadelphia, with its barred windows
and its uniformed inmates, to which de-
linquent girls were committed, has been
changed into the Glen Mills Farm School,
at Darlington, Pennsylvania, with its sys-
tem of self-government and its small cot-
tages, by the work of Mrs. Falconer, who
is to speak to Miss Kingsbury’s class on
Social Problems on March 8th and 15th.
Guardianship” and “Reform Schools for
Girls in Relation to Social Guardianship”.
The Glen Mills School is composed of
500 girls, sent up from the courts, ranging
in age from six to twenty-one years.
They live in ten large cottages. No uni-
forms are worn in the school. Except in
the two receiving houses there is self-
government, and the girls are given the
freedom of the grounds. In spite of this
freedom there are few attempts to escape
and those who show themselves untrust-
worthy in this respect are deprived of
their privileges of self-government.
The girls themselves take care of the
greenhouse, the cattle, and the crops of
the large farm on which the school is
located, under the direction of the offi-
cers, who are all college graduates, many
of them from the Cornell Agricultural
School. There is half-day school for most
of the girls, though a great majority of
them are somewhat mentally deficient.
After leaving the school the girls are on
probation and are generally under super-
vision for some time. Many of them go
into housework.

seems to possess Arnold Bennett’s ideas
without his attractive way of presenting
