Oakley Training
School Notes

Those parents of Mississippi whose
children are sent here should have
no worry as to their welfare All,
from the youngest up, seem not to
want to leave when their term is
finished This is due mainly to two
things: the respect and love which
they hold for the staff, and their
being well fed Each member of the
staff, as well as the superintendent,
treats each boy as human being,
not as a wrong doer When punish
ment sneeded it is melted out i'm
partially and justly. Each boy is
under the honor system, established
by Supt. Williams with the approx
al of the staff, and it really works.
The boys are given three good
meals a day. The cook, with the
help of the dietician prepare, neat,
tasty vitaminized meals The boys,
under capable guidance, raise all
vegetables need for summer. Those
not used are canned for winter USE
This year they have raised corn,
hay, sweet and Irish potatoes, peas,
sorghum, ribbon cane, peanuts,
string and butterbeans, okra, mus
tard and turnip green's
A small orchard has been started,
but already the institution has can
ned pears, peaches, and plums, pre-
serves jams and jellies In all, We
getables and fruit canned have been
over 1000 jars.
Besides this Oakley is raising its
own meat. At present we have 16
cows and calves, over 100 chick
ems, % hogs and 6 mules. By this,
the public can see how the institu-
tons poultry, pork, lard, milk and
butter are obtained. The school has
one tractor also.
