The state board of control, however, wna not interested iu the case suf ficiently to deprive the circuit court of the responsibility it had assumed ami to put the state to the expense of a test case. Miss D'Drsey bad been previously committed to the girls' industrial but had been turned over to the Munleys on parole. When some act was com mitted and the girl was to be returned to the school Munlcy, who is a young attorney, attacked the validity of the commitment on the ground of its in. sufficiency in that tho girl's sccific age (1(1) was not set forth in the com mitment. Judge Gantenbien held the commitment defective and awarded the Munleys the custody of tho girl, Mrs. Hopkins says the Munleys are "nice people but too young to have charge of the young girl", that she is allowed to run upon the streets with "this ono and that one'', nnd that the proper plaee for her is at the school where she was doing so "beautifully" before she was "farmed out" to the Munleys.
