| Summary: | Taking into account all the educational process of the reformatory, the use of the institution can be summarized as: It had enabled poor and homeless children from the ages 5 to 13 to be saved from the street and brought up in a healthy environment under the control of the State. The institution had undertaken the function of being the pilot school in the transition to a system of mixed schooling which had enabled for Muslim and Non-Muslim students to be educated together. As well as providing the children to read and write at a basic level during their education, it had contributed for them to become adequate individuals financially by receiving such an education that they had become craftsmen in popular occupations of the era as of leather trade, tailoring and shoemaking. Children who had committed crimes at an early age were prevented form being imprisoned together with adults and were detained in the reformatory with their peers. Thus, while they had served time, the environment had positively contributed to their growing up to be qualified adults
