The women are committed for a period of three years. The merit system is in operation whereby inmates are given credit for good behavior, and demerits for breaking any of the rules. When an inmate has made a sufficiently good record to warrant her being paroledwhich is usually after being in the Home about 18 months-and the board of managers deems she is strong enough, mentally and morally, to go out and live without breaking the laws, she is allowed to go home on parole, or if she has no home a position is secured for her whereby she can earn an honest living. She must report once a month to the parole officer of the Institution, who visits her whenever possible. Instruction is given in sewing, gardening, care of chickens, domestic science, domestic art, and all branches of housekeeping. Grade school will be opened in October.
