S AMARCAND MANOR, whose legal title is “The State Home 
 and Industrial School for Girls and Women,” was estab¬ 
 lished by act of Legislature in 1917 for the reclaiming and 
 training of delinquents, $25,000 having been appropriated for the 
 purchase of grounds and the erection of buildings, and $10,000 
 annually for operating expenses. 
 
 In the summer of 1918 the Governor of the State appointed a 
 board of five persons, who soon afterwards purchased the present 
 site, consisting of 230 acres of ground and a number of buildings, 
 formerly owned and operated by Dr. C. H. Henderson as a private 
 school for boys. This place is situated three miles from Samar- 
 cand, on the Norfolk Southern Railroad, in Moore County, N. C. 
 
 The purpose of the school, as provided by the act and as con¬ 
 ceived by the promoters of this enterprise, is to furnish a retired, 
 
homelike place where those who have fallen may find temporary 
 shelter and, under a firm yet kind discipline, begin to live nor¬ 
 mally, and, when their term of commitment is ended, go out once 
 more into the larger life of the world better fitted to withstand its 
 temptations and earn an honest living. 
 
 To this end, useful occupation will be taught, as well as correct 
 principles; for experience has shown that poverty and idleness are 
 the chief sources of temptation to the wayward, and that the diffi¬ 
 culty of finding remunerative employment is the commonest excuse, 
 as well as occasion for moral relapse. 
 
 Samarcand Manor is one of the first institutions of its kind in the 
 Southern States, though there are many highly successful schools 
 of similar character in other sections of our country. The board 
 therefore solicits the sympathetic co-operation of the courts and the 
 
general public in this hitherto untried effort to reclaim the most 
 hopeless and most neglected of our population and restore them to 
 honorable and useful womanhood. 
 
 Address Miss Agnes McNaughton, Superintendent , 
 
 Jackson Springs, N. C., R. F. D. 
 
 The institution is reached over the Norfolk Southern, which con¬ 
 nects with the Seaboard at Aberdeen, and with the Southern at High 
 Point. Coming from Charlotte, change at Star for the cross line, 
 once the Aberdeen & Asheboro.

 times within the discretion of the Board of Managers as to whether the hoard will 
 receive any person in the institution.
