Oregon Boot Is Explained By Officials Reasons for the use of the Ore gon boot at the Boys' Training school at Woodburn were obtain ed this week in an unofficial statement obtained from one of the officers at the school. The Oregon "boot" has long been employed at the school, this official stated. It is worn by re. calcitrant boys who cannot be trusted not to make a "break" if the slightest opportunity of. fers. Officials of the school are faced by the alternative of either keeping boys in confinement or else of keeping them at work in the fields adjoining the school. Since it is a school rule that guards do not carry guns, boys can elude their watchers if one lad starts In one direction and another boy attempts escape in the opposite direction. Wearing of the Oregon boot by the bad of fenders prevents such escapes. The official of the training school pointed out that the Ore gon boots were in no way hurt ful bat were rather a proved means of keeping boys safely at work. MOTT SELECTED TO IS James W.
