Tt is poor training to teach « boy deception. The State training school was meant for no such pur. pone. ‘To hark back some years— There was no merit system When « boy entered the insth tution the first thing to do was to “break his spirit.” This was done with the switch, paddis, lash or club, whichever was needfal. (raduates of the institution left there brutalized by brutality, Same of them are in penitentiafies today, Others, better off, are dead. MERIT SYSTEM 18 A BIG HEL? Then came the merft syrtem.
