They are Clark dustry—looks like a pleasant little university. It is out in the country, with neat dormitories, farmlands, athletic field, and campus spread out over a thousand rolling acres. The boys are called “cadets,” not “inmates,” and the rou- tine is much like that of any military academy. Bars and armed guards are reserved only for a few—the incorrigibles, the won’t-works, the sullen and vicious. The other lads attend classes, perform military drill, learn trades, get their educational shortcomings set right, and are » made to feel that society is ready to give them all the breaks in ae Only Six of °38 \ — oP aN Ry court in 1037, cal "S APPROVED the world if they will just give society half a chance. ’ were born, to live out my days, In other words, the institution is honestly designed to tak ted'iotay ce umeeen me toe |) BARE young offenders, build them yp physically, morally, and men- Jump in the lake, and look every- tally, and send them back to become useful members of the igen ot inaitoute widen) | Seaeaee ere a ae social order. have any luck trying to buy oF | level.

It is news, obviously, because it is in such sharp contrast to the ordinary reformatory. ° The average reformatory is nothing but a penitentiary in disguise. It generally is swamped with twice as many offenders as it was designed to handle. It is all too often crippled by poli- | ties. The idea of atern, undeviating: punishment tends to take \ptecedence over: the idea of reform. The result is that in far, far too many cases, if a young man isn’t ruined for life before his incarceration, he is ruined when he comes out. The very word, “reformatory,” has become a bitter mockery. ae So when we find a reformatory which is actually operated] Giass and | 80 as to reform the boys who are sent to it—it’s news.
