Sending a bad boy back to the
home from which he was taken to the
Kansas Industrial school, is often like
taking him out of n mudhole, clean
ing him up and then throwing him
back into the same mudhole," is the
experience Of the Rev. II. J. Corwine,
parole agent for the school. The pa
role agent has just submitted to the
governor report of his work Of the
last year and his most serious recon-
mendation is that except in unusual
circumstances boys should never be
returned to their own homes. "Out of
disordered homes flow our stream Of
Juvenile delinquents," said the report.
''fhe home has lost its charm for him.
He would rather hobnob with loafers
on the street corners or hang around
r;cl halls or wander down back al
leys than stay III such home. To
force him to do so makes him incor-
rieible."
