These were public servants which the paid official of T e f onths' im- portation paraded before their own state and the United States through he publication of charges based on stories p circulation a dis- harged employe alleged to have heen told to him by the inmates of the school. Some of these it devel- oped, had a bearing on the treat- ment of paid employes to the boys not in keeping with th2 institution and these were prompt released But the charges furnished the sensationalism rgely the result of imagina- tion—an opportunity naturally wel- comed by hoys of the character we at the h investigation resulted good for the institution it revealed many ineficiencies h in the natural course of a stration, no matter how good it 1ay be, will get by undiscovered— but on the whole it was a heartless cruel indictment of a group of well- selected, honest, conscientious and cted citizens of this state Public Stampeded jator Lavery charged welfare department with its paid inv his office to show s concerning alleged condition at the school. They had with themn a Mr. Pec a discharged gardener, who, Senator Lavery id, had tried to sell the affidavits to the New York World and the New York Times. He said he learned subse- Guently that copies of these affi- davits alrcady had been given to a Connecticut newspaper. Then he said a meeting of the board of tru was called at once, but the public became stampeded and the governor without the knowl- of the trustees appointed an nvestigation committee. rring to former Superintend- Edward Boyd, he said he wus | one of the finest citizens in the state, “kindly, fatherly, a gentleman of the old school.” | “All charges of brutality to the boys were, in my judgment, not sub- stantiated,” the senator stated “P'rue, there were one or two exhi bitions of brutality on the part ot individual employes, who were lm. mediately dismissed. | “One of the most scurrilous | charges L ever vapect to hear againat any human being was made against | a man with 40 years of honorable | service. The investigator said he ex- pected to send this man to stal: prison. The (harges were found be simply the story of one of the boys sent here who were undesir- ible in their own homes."” The senator said it was found after investigation that the story was one that a boy told another and he told janother who in turn told anotheri cere Ch: Te the in by which were policies of employes service 1 from which in be have ne. “The much reo that the presen- call- tor him the tative ed af- ent | the superintendent and upon his ap- and that it had grown that way all along the line, without being sub- stantiated. “Of course there were evidences of boys having been whipped.

Cor- | | poral punishment he said was to be | administered only in the presence of \ proval. One or two employcs \\hol took the law into their own hands were dismissed. “The investigators told nothing of the cottages there. They told of the congregate building, but over- | looked the fact that cottages con- taining 30 boys cach werc absolute- |1y immaculate. “The congregate building is 75 | | vears old. It is inadequate and the | plumbing is not satisfactory. When Judge Saxe of your town was member of the board of trustees ap- | plication was made to the state board of finance for $£1.,200,000 to renovate and recstablish the entire school. The request was denied. It was first made in 1921, repeated in ! 9 and in 1925 and will be made gain at the next session. “If this request had been granted | | the whole school would have been renovated and conditions the inves- | | tigating committee found would have been eliminated.” The speaker said the present | rolicy of the school is to take the | problem boys” and treat them as normal boys, adapting them to a newer and better environment and | teach them to start life anew. He said the old uniform of hlue coat with brass buttons and gray llou'\:m has been discarded 1 boys ar dressed as normal boys with <herp- n lined overcoats, khaki every day othes and Sunday suits.
