rev states IN the union nave
brought to a higher degree of eff
cheney the parole and agency system,
now feature of practically all cor
rectional institutions, as has Mime
sofa. How the benefciaries of the
system in this state make good" is
told regularly in all reports received
by the state board of control.
Probably one of the most important
trusts imposed on the board of refor-
nation and return to citizenship of
hundreds of young men, as well as
boys and girls, turned over to it an
nually because of incorrigibility and
delinquency. In this respect the Red
Wing Training School where boys
convicted of incorrigibility and the
| lighter forms of misdemeanors are
committed, perhaps offers the best
example. The commitments here as
at the Girls Home School at Sauk
Centre, are mostly of a class where
uplift through other channels has not
been possible.
The return of these young persons
after a period of detention to good
homes and better living is the work
of the parole system, and the travel
ling agents employed by the board.
How well the task is performed is
shown in discharge of 109 boys pa
rolled from the Training School at
Red Wing during the last two years
and whose Individual records have

judges for approval. 1t is said that
better than IS per cent of the boys
discharged from the Training School
make good" and how they do it can

random from the discharged list now

In speaking of the parole system
and its application to the Red Wing
and other correctional institutions,
some perhaps may confuse it's work
with that of what is known as the
state board of parole, but there is no
direct connection. The paroling of
boys of the Red Wing School and
girls at the Sauk Centre Home School
and their supervision through the med
ium of agents is one of the many du-
ties of the state board of control and
/ it calls for monthly visits to the insti-
tutions where such incorrigibles are
