1 TAKES ISSUE WITH THE STATESMAN
Editor Statesman: - 4
A Your editorial on the boys' training school of this morn
ing is .timely. But I must take issue with you in regard to
the Grounds. There are not six hundred acres, but four
hundred. There will be, when the creek is lowered, fifteen
acres of good ground. There is some fair ground, but most
ly. poor, and some worthless. No farmer can ever make a
profitable -place out of this. In fact, no good farmer would
expend as much manual labor as the state possesses in those
boys on such a place if he had the choice. However, under
the circumstances, the building of the new school should be
referred back to the legislature. Sooner or later, Oregon, like
other states, will have to furnish an intermediate place be
tween a training school and a penitentiary for advanced boys
and young men that are far gone in transgression of the
laws but should not be put m the penitentiary. For this
purpose, the place would serve, and scrapping of the present
valuable buildings would be unnecessary; pending such fu
ture re-arrangement and necessities, the place will serve
- - FAIR PLAY.
Salem, Or., Nov. 4, 1921.
If the state training school for boys is using only 400
acres, it is very easy to make it 600 acres, or more ; for the
state owns in all some 2000 acres in that body, under the
control of the state hospital (insane asylum), tuberculosis
hospital, and boys training school. And it is nearly all avail
able for some crop that is adapted to this district. It is all
under one board ; all belongs to the state.
. The idea of finally using the plant of the boys' training
school for the reformatory is a good one. Most of the states
have such institutions, for boys above 16. and first offenders
Both California and Washington have them. In that case.
however, the training school for boys under 16 ought to be
located at some distance away.
( Oregon stands among the six highest states for per
centage of school attendance, according to a census report
just issued: the others being Iowa, Nebraska, Montana
Idaho and Utah. The highest of all is Utah.
. The Salem Commercial club could not take on a more
useful activity than the helping of the realtors to get the
flax industry organized. Firstfind the man with the cap
ital; or, with the organizing ability.
