THE BOYS, INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL
SITUATION.

- =
Editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin.
Sir: / don't want to butt In on this
Industrial School rumpus but can
not fail TO be interested because my
father was for seventeen years super
intendent OF the State Reformatory OF
the state of Maine, and by that means
II have seine first-hand knowledge of
methods of running such an institu-
ton.
When my father took charge of the
Maine Reform School all the boys
were kept IN one central building,
most of them behind bars, and, genef-
ally speaking, the prison system OF
control prevailed. There were cells
and shackies, and Oregon boots on the
toughs and the runawayss
After years of struggle, the so
called cottage system was estab-
lished, under which the boys were
put into cottages in groups of from
thirty to forty boys under the direc.
ii n. of a separate master, matron and
teacher. There they had independent
home life and were developed entire
ly on the honor system.
That system, started IN the Far.
rington cottage" has advanced so that
when ! visited the school during my
recent trip the old central building
was found to be utterly changed. The
bars are gone, the high prison fences
are no more: the old building has
been remodeled and Is now used only
as q central administration building.
The boys are all housed and cared for
in Independent cottages / have no
doubt that the same system prevails
in other states.
But even in the days of the bars
and the walls the Maine school had
honor rolls and carefully kept sys.
TENS of merit and demerit.
My father went through the expert.
Eence of period of political investiga.
ton, wild stories told by the boys OF
mistreatment, and a special investi.
eating commission. The administra,
ton of the school was upheld and the
state eventually provided the: funds
necessary to improve the equipment
and make reforms possible.
In reading the reports of the situa
ton at the Industrial School 1t ap
pears as If the worries of the superin.
tendent have thrown him somewhat
on the balance required for good dis
cipline. A man cant maintain dis
cipline by telling his troubles to every.
one and complaining about the job
he has in hand.
On the other hand the superinten-
dent ought to have plant and force
to work with that is in keeping with
the modern ideas of administration
for such schools. - kia 81
= The idea Of substituting play for
work doesn.t sound right; although
there ought to be organized play as
we'll as organized work .-s..s.. s-.s
| am informed that the work of the
Girls Industrial School has become
much more effective in the new quar-.
tiers where the separation in cottages
is possible. That is, handling the in.
mates in groups rather than mixing
the good, bad and Indifferent.
The general reputation of the Boys
Industrial School graduates has in
days gone by been good. The princi
pal recommendation has been that
they know how to work." which is
not always true of the graduates from
some of our other institutions not un
der the head of reformatory.
