Barclay Memorial Home for Wayward Girls Expands
The Barclay Memorial Home at Maxwell Station near Hapeville, opened two months ago, houses 25 inmates with two more expected. Cots fill verandas and halls as a nearby cottage is converted into sleeping quarters. The only southern facility detaining women, it serves as a reform and protection site for girls aged 12 to 22, with sentences ranging one to five years. The home, non sectarian, emphasizes work, study, and morals under matronly oversight, and faces demand for larger quarters and near-city facilities as leases run.

Barclay Memorial Association Plans Expansion for Inmates
Present indications show the home will need accommodations for more than 200 inmates within the next year. To meet this, the Barclay Memorial Association is funding efforts to purchase or lease larger quarters, with a view to eventual outright purchase of permanent facilities. The movement to establish the home was started by Mrs Frank R. Logan, a noted Atlanta mission worker, who gathered women interested in saving wayward women. The plan received broad praise, ministers supported it, and subscriptions were raised. The current quarters were leased and furnishings donated by local supporters, mainly women. The home opened on March 18, and its potential impact and scope are already evident.
