According to Free Press Matters
at School Not as Bad as Reported

Late last evening the board OF
managers OF the Industrial Home,
located near Elko, returned to town
after having spent most OF the day
at the institution and having had an
official session Of the board. When
seen by representative OF the Free
Press, Governor Boyle was wearied
with the days doings and busted
with interviews, so the time he had
TO spare was limited. He appears,
however, to have been satisfied with
the home.
The board had session at the
home during the day and decided
some OF the questions which Will
have bearing upon the future OF
the place. The board consists oil
Governor Boyle, who acts as ITS
chairman; Sidney c. Foster, who is
secretary OF the Industrial Home
board; Senator Fcrnald, George Rus-
sell, Sr., and Judge Ta'oer. These
men went to the home i'll automo-
biles and Superintendent Kyle show
ed them over the place and gave an
account OF the work. down to date.
The managers saw the splendid
start at farming which Superintend-
ent Kyle has made, with the young
stcrs in his care. they saw the pump
there doing its work of lifting its
six-inch stream Of water from the
apparently inexhaustble supply OF
underground water. and they must
have been pleased that the state
should be the means OF demonstrat-

ing what can be done with pump
working upon an underflow.
The board held their session in one
OF the rooms OF the homes. During
the session they called the boys in
and had heart to heart talk with
them. The boys are very we'll suit
ed with the home, say that they are
led we'll and treated we'll They ap-
peared 10 be leading lives Of busy in
dustry, and to be interested in inn
proving themselves, which is the
keynote OF the management of the
home.
The managers planned to cover
certain windows with heavy screens,
which make it impossible ior the
inmates to get out, and they evil
IDENTIFY did not wish to make the
place any more OF a prison for the
unfortunate youths who have to be
corrected tnan has to be. And the
youthful years OF boys life are
much better ii they can be spent IN
place which is as homelike as pos
s'ole. instead Of being surrounded d
with bars and the usual prison regu-
Iations.
The board authorized Superintend-
ent klye to use his own discretion
about the use OF tobacco by the boys
and II would not be surprising il
smoking might be permitted under
certain conditions at the home. 1t
may be the policy to permit the bows
who have been accustomed to the
