THERE Is one thing which girls who
combine to live with other girls
ought to remember and which I
have never as yet seen clearly set down
In black and white. It Is that their . first
duty should be to preserve as far as possl-
ble the Individuality of each. Take away
our individuality, and life Is no longer
"
worth living. In prisons, individuality is
stamped out aa far as possible, and as a
scheme of life It cannot be said that t
prison ranks high or la desirable.
It la the great drawback to existence
In a workhouse or in any large institution.
Children brought up by the line and rule
-pf a great establishment doqot do so well
as children Individually reared, and per
haps that to why many orphanages are
