as possible. This is in accordance with
the provisions of the new parole law,
which allows parole to life prisoners
after about "a years imprisonment,
being 33 years, less time gained by
good behavior.
Paroles are usually granted by the
prison managers alone, but in case of

the board of pardons is also necessary,
and such paroled life prisoners cannot
leave the state.

regularly until in July, but a special
meeting may be called if the members
of the board consider one necessary.

more disturbed over the defect in the
title of the bill creating the board of
control than has been thought. 1t
will likely be necessary for each of the
separate boards of the state to follow
the example set by the Owatonna
training school trustees in pledging
themselves to recognize the inten-
ton" of the legislature in framing the
law and not acting upon a strict inter
probation Of it. The administration in
tends to have the bill take effect Just
the same, and the Owatonna school
adopted the resolution.
