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.
