Superintendent Andrews took charge of
tho school L. years ago Feb. !. There
were then 50 children in the school. AT
the present time. as the above report
shows, the number has more than dou-
bled. This increase has brought added / G.
sponsiblity, which has been fully met
by the board of trustees, Superintendent
Andrews and the teachers under him, and
1t is doubtful II any institution in the
country is under any better discipline or
is doing any better and more lasting work
for the boys and girls entrusted TO It's
care than this school.
About % of the boys who have been dis
charged from the school superintendent
Andrews says have entered the army.
Some of them are now stationed in the
the signal service corps during the lat.
war in China and as far rs he has heard
they have been steady and trustworthy in
the discharge of their duties. This is
good showing and especially so when the
character OF these boys when they enter
ed the school is taken into account, and
speaks well for the influence eNerted upon
them while inmates of the institution and
reflects much credit upon Superinte endent
Andrews and mis- capable and cnicient as
sistent. f. b. Pratt, who has been an Off
Ger OF the school for the past eight years.
The health of the inmates Is carefully
looked after and the death rate last year
was remarkably low only one death hav-
ing occurred which speaks we'll of the
sanitary arrangements at the school.
In all the time that Mr.. Andrews has
had charge Of the school only one boy ha :
been committed TO 1t from this city, which
seems remarkable.
After the additions and improvement :
that are being carried out on the Hanna
man property are completed the smaller
children can be better cared for and the
state may well be proud of its facilities
Tor making better citizens of these chill
dren, who in many cases would become
hardened criminals were it not for the in
ruence of this home.
