The problem of ; paroling boys Wh0 aro wards of the state is be coming a Berious one at the state training , school for boys, jaccord- ing to W. L. Kuser, superintend ent. It is a matter , of , keeping the boys on the up-grade in moral progress after they are paroled from the .institution, both .for their, own benefit and to save the public, the . expense .of 'returning them to the school. At the present ,time .nine -boys are ready ,to be paroled ,. at , the school, but there la.no place to send them, so it is necessary for them to remain at the institution tndef tnttely; ' 8 u p e r t n t e n d Kuser recommended their parole at. the meeting of the state board of control Monday and It was approved by the board. "When It is Impossible to send the boys to their homes they must be placed with responsible -persons where they may have employment and an opportunity to . develop into useful .citizens. It .would be useless and unjust. Mr. Kuser .explains, to parole a boy.and- stmply, allow llm to drlit for .himself .after .leaving the school, and this is never done. The case of, the nine boys now eligible for parole has been taken up by Mr. Kuser. with evera 'or ganizations, Includlng. the Elks of Portland,, and be may put their case before the ministerial; asso ciation ln Salem for assistance. This is the reason Superintend ent Kuser, at the board meeting this week, recommended the ap pointment of a parole agent for the school.' Such an official, he declares, cauld save to the state each year from the cost of caring 'or 8tto wards, far more than the agent's salary would amount to.
