This belief must always be the foundation stone of all successful efforts against evil in this world, and it is nowhere more needed than in just the work we are trying to do here." <br />"The great motive of all our efforts is to reform the transgressor, not to punish."<br /><br />p. 18 "We offer them first of all a cheerful, comfortable and refined home, and bring them under the influence of kind and judicious matrons....Here are combined the influences of a home, a school, a church--the three great forces of changing character."<br /><br />p. 20 "During their sewing hours, and often in the evening, the matrons read aloud to the girls from books which are received from the Pulic Library Deposit Station--fifty books of suitable reading matter being left at a time, that the girls may be supplied with desirable books which they can read during their leisure hours."<br /><br />pp. 20-21 "To secure the best results, it is considered necessary for the girls to remain with us at least two years and then, unless relatives or friends have provided for them they are not allowed to leave our home until desirable situations are found for them where they can still be under our watchful care."
