the South Omaha youngsJer developed. As

cases were severe. The next calamity was
the increade in the price G. feed for stock.
For ten months the institution has had
trouble with its water supply.
Fire destroyed the horse barn on Novem-
Der %. 1908, and twenty-four horses were
lost. And the population has steadily de-
creased. This last is the first ray of sun
shine Mr.. Sherman has to offer in his re-
port. Mr.. Sherman says It is due to the
operation Of the juvenile court authorities
in Omaha and Lincoln. These cities, he
says, are taking care of their juvenile
delinquents better than ever before.
Another reason for the decrease in pop
ulation is due to the unusual number Of
paroles. During the biennium there has
been received 2O2 boys and PCS left the in
stitution.
Notwithstanding the calamhous hand
which has been laid on this institution
