Chas. E. Vasaly addressed the Stats
Verband, which was in session at St.
Cloud the first Of the week, the st
Cloud Times, noting same as follows:
cat the evening session, Charles
Vasaly, superintendent of the state re-
formatory, presented some of the so
cial problems, with which he has be-
come acquainted, through his work
He stated that 10000 people are now
being held by the state. Of these
5000 are in insane asylums, 900 at the
state penitentiary, 300 at the state
school for girls, 800 at the state school
for boys, $50 at the delinquent school
at Owatonna, and other institutions.
Pointing out that the Stats Yer
band should take an active part in
working out social problems, Mr.. Vas
ally told his audience that the young
men and women present a vast prob
lem. *'In my dealing with wayward
young men, have come to the definite
conclusion that the broken, disorgan
lied home is largely to blame fo1
crime, and Christian homes will de
much to alleviate this distressing stu
alton.
"We are in a period which is called
by some "the age Of YOUTH and II
is true that an increasing number Of
young folks are losing respect for law
order and the church. To a great ex
tent. they are satisfied only with com
mercial forms of amusement.
"Delinquency has cost the state o:
Minnesota over 100 million dollars
since it became state, and what i
worse, misery and human suffering ar
wrapped around every dollar,' h
added.
The speaker then presented religion
as the power to reclaim those VIII
have by carelessness placed themselve
in these situations. Placing faith il
!! the man, who is down, he pointed ou
! that at the reformatory last year, ou
of 81 paroles, there were but fou
trusts broken. He also stressed tha
the illiterate person is not as much o
a criminal as is generally believed
and that the number of college an
high school boys, being committed t.
penal institutions, is rapidly increas
ing.
