| show that some of the boys have Leen
whipped, and in a few cases. severely, and
that such punishment was administered by
the discipinarian at his own discretion.
II Is evident to the committee, that the
,ficers of this institution have acquired
their positions through political prefer
ment and consequently the snbordinates
consider themselves responsible to the
board of trustees rather than 10 the super
intendent. This condition of affairs is,
and always will be a cause Of intrigue and
LACK of harmony among the officers of the
institution and the effect of such con-
ditions on the boys is, and always will he
detrimental TO their best interest This
lack OF harmony results in the officers for
letting the respect of the inmates and all
efforts TO control them through an appeal
TO their higher sensibilities viii be fruit
that strict discipline II an insf.fufion il
this kind must be maintained but we are
convinced that more kindness and less
punishment would result more satisfaetor-
lily to all concerned.
IL is the sense of your committee that the
officers OF the institution, and especially
the disciplinarian, should be men of mid
die age, with some experience in dealing
with boys, and who possess those mental
and physical qualities which will at once
command the respect Of the boys OF the
institution and tend to develop their better
natures
There are men who can rule through the
force Of consistent will power and personal
magnetism, and not by inspiring terror
Such are the men TO be employed in a re-
form school.
Ia card Mr. Hendricks. the superin-
iendeni. and bright young man with an
excellent personal recurd, assumes ali per-
s0nal responsibility for punishments in
iiicted, except Illegally by discharged
employees. 10 whom be lays the blame of
the present trouble.
