LlNCOI4N. Feb. ll-tSpeClal. -SupeIln-
tendcnt Hayward of the Industrial school at
Kearney was a caller at the state house
yesterday and took time to express himself
IN favor OF court officers sending boys TO
the school without an escort. Mr.. Hayward
said reposing this trust in boy who had
been sentenced to the school did more than
anything else to take from the boys mind
the idea that he was a criminal and the
world was against him. II gave the boy
confidence in himself and impressed him
with the eidea the state was Interested in
making him a good citizen
Probation Oficer Bernstein of Omaha
and l talked the matter over said Mr..
Hayward. land we decided to try it, Sew
eral boys have been sent out from Omaha
without being accompanied by an officer.
and so far they have come all right. The
appearance OF the first boy alone created
some surprise among the boys at the school,
but they looked upon It as quite an achieve
ment and they showed some little envy
that the boy had been trusted.
Now the boys are striving with each
other to sec which can be trusted the most.
For the last two years / have allowed boys
who were sick to go home alone, and not
one has failed to return when he recovered
Recently the night Waterman was sick and
1 had one OF the boys act in this capacity
for ten nights. He was surprised should
trust him and he performed his duties as
well as the Waterman. l would trust any
boy in the institution.
1T takes some time to get the scenes OF
the courtroom out OF the boys mind but
the juvenile court law is helping us along
those Illness Mothers who have visited the
school have left there with different idea
Of hot fc ha ind iaI iC ,,ot
a prison, but 1t is a school and were 1t not
for the fact boys are sentenced TO it It
would be filled with boys whose parents
would pay tuition.
I'VE have military companies as well
drilled as the students of any school, and
the officers of the companies respon-
sible for the conduct of the boys. They
make splendid disciplinarians. l am trying
10 get the idea out of the minds of the boys
and their parents that the school is a
prison. III | could eradicate that idea we
would he much more help to the boys"
