CRITICISM BRINGS
SARCASTIC REPLY
Head of Preston School of In
dustry Makes Sharp Answer
to Probation Officer

OAKLAND. March &c. H. Dunton,
superintendent of the Preston school of
industry, has replied in sarcastic vein
to Probation officer Ruess, who in
statements concerning the case of a
boy named Eugene Griffin, made criti-
cism of Dunton's methods The super
intendent writes to Ruess:
In your second communication
TO the press, of which you mailed
me copy, you state that you
would rather a boy of yours had
his neck broken at the Preston
school than that he be sent to the
state prison. You do not seem to
be familiar enough with the law
governing the school to know that
the superintendent of the school is
not authorized to break boys
necks, and the present superin-
tendent does not believe ii any
part of the reformatory work to
break boys spirit.
Dunton assured Ruess that he will
use his best judgment as to the course
to be pursued by him with the advice
of the board of trustees and not of the
chief probation officer of Alameda
county"
In his letter Dunton defends his ac-
tion in the Griffin case, and asserts
that, while he believes in the proba-
tIon system, he fears it will "degen-
crate into temporizing with crime"
