STATE RECLA|MS 70
OF ITS DRUNKARDS
About 0ne-third of Men Treated
at Minnesota Farm Are
Making Good Now.

MINNEAPOLIS. Sept s-seventy
men. who a year ago were regarded as
hopeless and confirmed druukards. are
today living sober and exemplary lives
as the result of six months course at
the State Farm for Inebriates at Will
mar, according to DIR. George II. Free
man. the superintendent. This number
is about a third of the Institutions
graduates"
We have a few more than 200 men
under ouI parole system, explained DIR.
Freeman. "and about one-third of them
are making good When one constd-
ers what little authority We have at the
farm and also what limited amount Of
supervision we have over the inmates
after they leave, I feel that the results
are gratifying. Ordinarily we get the
most hopeless cases. those who have
been abandoned by friends and family.
and / consider il a good record TO save
one-third of them.
To make our institution more eff
fective we must have custodial build
ing where those who are inclined to
leave may be restrained until they are
restored to a normal state of mind and
are anxious for a cure.
Many of those committed to the farm
leave before we regard 1t safe for them
to do Sc. and We are unable to prevent
their departure, for there is no restraint.
We want all those committed u the
institution to remain six months and
after that to be about a year under pa
role. With little more authority and
a lar:;er staff of parole agents am con-
vinced that we can make a much better
The institution is only eighteen
months old and every step that has
been taken has been an experiment
Sometimes we have had to retrace
our steps and we still are feeling our
way At the same time the more fun
damentaI problems probably have been
worked out and, if the Legislature Will
allow the erection OF a custodial build
ing, We will feel that our institution
will be in position to extend its useful
