Perhaps most of these women, all
hardened ones, are beyond material
reformation, but we cannot, must
not, believe this of the young and
yet sensitive girls, especially such
as are disgusted with the life they
have begun to lead.
Something of this kind has been
done in Portland for years, by means
of the Crittenden Home, and if this
serves the purpose best, it should be
fbetter supported and well-to-do peo
ple should take a greater Interest ln
it. And if a new institution or. any
better or more affective way for res-
culng girls from destruction is pos
sible it ought to be encouraged and
supported. -
And It Is not only girls that have
already "gone to the bad" to some
extent, but homeless or neglected
glrur who have not yet fallen that
need observance, care and guidance.
In a city the size of Portland there
are always many such girls, either
without parents or with, bad or Irre
sponsible parents, who through com
paratively slight efforts could be
kept ,from making wrecks of tneir
lives. What an enormous social
gals it would be If scores of such
girls could every year be turned Into
the right direction Instead of being
allowed, unnoticed snd uncared for,
to drift into the downhill road.
