SCHOOL HEADS
RATHER FAVOR
JURYMENS IDEA
Superintendent Kinney Inclined
to Approve Separate Control
of industrial Schools
The proposal TO take 49, aud

The proposal 20 take ~&fHs and
girls reform schools from the !urG>
diction Of the department Of public
instruction. as recommended in the
final report OF the 1914 territorial
grand jury, the story Of which was
published in the Star-Bulletin yester.
day, Is not entirely new, though II
has never before been generally dis
cussed.
Superintendent Henry w. Kinney Of
the department of public instruction
stated today that in a letter read at
the last meeting of the school COM
mission Territorial Secretary w. w.
Thayer maze a suggestion that 1t
might be found advisable to transfer
the control OF these reformatory insti-
tutions to the juvenile court.
Al that time Superintendent Kinney
endorsed Thayer's idea and spoke be-
fore the board In its favor. There ap-
peared some division of opinion among
the commissioners, however, and since
then the superintendent has sent let
tiers to the individual members ask
ing their Judgment on the question.
Not all have replied as yet. and il is
impossible to say what position the
commission as a body will take Oh it.
81 think il would he advisable for
practical purposes to give control OF
those schools to the juvenile court or
10 a separate commission" said Kin.
ney, today. The Jurisdiction Of our
board is only nominal, after all. Judge
Whitney selects the children who shall
be inmates OF the institutions, and
while | as superintendent must grant
their release, my function is purely
automatic and governed entirely by
Judge Whitney's wishes. ~.
AT present we have charge OF the
expenditures for their maintenance or
improvements but these in general
are definitely fixed in character by the
legislature when IL passes upon our
school budget. The items for the re-
form schools are set forth as such in
our biennial budget Ii would be easy
for the legislature to pass these items
az a separate budgetg to be put into
the hands OF separate commission"
