St. Cloud Ref0rnlatory.

Supt. u. E. Myers, of the St. Cloud
reformatory, has submitted his annual
report to the board of managers. He
says. among other things: ''There have
been pardoned from the reformatory in
the past three years ia inmates; of this
number 3s have violated their paroles,
leaving 136, or about 70 per cent, who
have remained faithful to the trust
that has been reposed in them" This
test, covering period of more than
three years, is certainly very satisfac-
tory showing. ''Our efforts for uplift-
ing those under our charge would be
much aided by having greater diver
sity of industries than we now have.
Boot and shoe making and different
kinds of wood work could be intro
duced with profit to the inmates, and
with but little cost to the state, as soon
as our new shops are completed that
are now under construction"
