Boys who behave nicely are given leave of absence to go home and see
their parents from Saturday to Monday.

The boys are treated exactly as if they were at boarding-school, the
only difference being that they are never allowed to go outside the
walls of the school.

They have every comfort, with playrooms, and gymnasiums, and yards for
exercising; but out into the street they cannot go.

On the upper floors are neat white dormitories and bathrooms, and
washrooms.

Their only hardship is that they must study. They cannot escape their
daily lessons, nor the certainty of being sent to a Reformatory if they
give trouble.

The truants will have to stay in school till late in July, several weeks
longer than the regular schools. This is to teach them that it pays boys
better to be good and go to school at proper times.
