CR|T|C|SEHEAD
OF REF0RMATORY
Charities Board Believes Meth
DDS Used at Railway lnsti-
tuition Are Not the Best

BIZ Special Correspondent.
TRENTON, Dec. 24:-The tradi-
tional method of disciplinary treat
ment of the inmates of the Railway
R~eformatory for Boys by DIR. Frank
b. Moore. superintendent of the in
stitution, was generally disapproved
It the regular bi-weekly meeting here
Yesterday of the administrative
ell of the State Board of Charities
and Corrections. DIR. Moore volun-
tarily brought to light his practices
in this matter at the meeting, which
was held for the purpose OF having
all the institutional heads dfvulge
their various methods of disciplinary
treatment, so as to endeavor to get
the best system Of individual disci-
pIinary treatment working In all OF
the institutions of the state.
1t was learned that the Railway
superintendent impresses upon the
boys when they are first committed to
his institution hat it Is their own
fault hat they are there and not the
fault of their parents, schools, police
officers, the court, or I'M other thing.
This method was disfavored by the
other institutional superintendent
because, they claimed, 1t tends to dis
courage the young fellows and breeds
contempt. They declared that at
their various institutions when a girl.
boy, woman or man Is admitted they
are individually interviewed by the
superintendents and 1t is not Impress
ed upon them that they are solely
responsible for their faults. rather
they are treated so that they will
place much confidence in the heads
of the various institutions, which, 1t
was declared. results in better in
mates and more reform.
DR.. Moore also brought out the fact
that o%ne-third of the inmates of his
institution are feeble-minded, and OF
this number 10 per cent. are below
the mental age of ten years.
