It seems that about two years ago a girl named Bess.e Booth was sent to the school on account of her loose morals. Within the past lew days the superintendent discovered that the gnl .when committed, was a year oider than supposed, and iat she is now of age and can no i ,iger be held. The examining board looked into in-to the matter and discovered that Miss Booth was eneendc. Oil being questioned question-ed the girl said the superintendent was the lather of her unborn child. That genileman denies the charge vehemently, vehement-ly, and says it must belong to some of the male inmates of the school.
