Board Is Satisfied With Work of lnsti-
tution-Some Recommendations.
A meeting of the trustees of
the Industrial school was held at the
institution at Florence, there being
present ]. E. Swearingen, State su-
perintendent of education; D. D. Wal
lace, Rev. A. T. Jamison, J. w. Quat-
tlebaum, w. W. Ball, w. R. Barringer,
Hartwell M. Aver and the superinten-
dent, Mr.. Emmons.
The most important matter before
TIE board was the formulation of the
petition to be made to the legislature
for the next appropriation.
Since the last meeting the tailor
shop ordered by the board has been
installed and the boys are doing some
very excellent work.
The farm has produced something
like $4,000 worth of cotton, corn, po-
tatoes, grain of various kinds and
truck. A canning outfit will be one of
the things which will be put in If the
legislature gives the desired appro-
priation.
The board has had the boys exam
ined frequently by a competent ply
sician and ordered that physician
take them regularly to examine and
report in writing on each boy, as to
his physical, mental and moral con.
dition at least once every year, be-
sides the examination on admittance.
The health of the boys has been re-
markably good. The cost per month,
per pupil for medical attention, drugs,
etc., has been less than two cents.
The treasurer's report showed just
about money enough on hand to run
the institution with the closest econ
omy to the time when the next ap-
preparation will be available. It costs
about $50 a month to run the institu
tion and the counties are very delin.l
quent in the matter Of paying for the
boys they have sent.
Mr.. Quattlebaum was appointed to
draft letter to the judges of the
State requesting that they give boys
sent to the institution indeterminate
sentences, so that the board may re.
lease them when, in their judgment,
it would appear that they had profit
ed by the training and we're in con-
dition to be turned out. Several mis-
takes have been made in this matter
by different judges, which have caus-
ed some miscarriages of the intention
of the institution.
