PAGE TEN THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND. OREGON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1949 Oregon Training School Seeks fo Reform Bad Boys By William Warren (United Praee Btafr Corrawoodmt) Woodburn, Oct. 20 (Hi Here at the Woociburn boys' school, youngsters who have tangled with the law are learning how to handle freedom. The men who run this state training school are attempting to carry out Its original Intent to be reform school. They are try ing in fact to reform the boys; to train them so constructively that they can go back into the com munity with a sense of responsi bility and belonging. It doesn't always work. Some times boys revert to crime. But In many cases the reformation tiiltos, and the youngsters go on to become useful and even lead ing citizens. The school hopes to increase the percentage. Under the thoughtful and pro gressive administration of James Lamb, the school's comparatively new su)crlntendent, the boys are treated with as much dignity as they will take. They get the same food as the staff. - When they demonstrate that they can handle freedom, they can take on "off campus" jobs for pay that will be waiting them when their term is up. Gone is corporal punish ment. No Pampering Not that Lamb believes in any pampering. He isn't even sure that the abolition of corporal pun ishment is 100 per cent good. But he feels that it is too much of a responsibility to ask the staff to lay the strap to the boys, so he's banned the practice.' In the old days the boys would get a certain number of stripes for certain types of offenses. The problem Is to keep the kids from running away. Only a small percentage of them try, but they are the ones who are heard about. Lamb says It's usually the new boys to make the breaks. The ones who have been there some time want to complete their sen tence averageing 9 months and varying from six months to two years and get back to the com munity. The youngster has to learn, 'says Lamb, that he is responsible for what he does. The superin tendent, who took on the task at request of the state board of con trol, said: Confusion Evident "In every boy here you'll find confusion in relationship to his home." Some are pampered too much. Others are neglected. "But the kid is responsible for what he does arid he has to learn that. It won't do him any good as he goes through life If he blames his own shortcomings on his parents. It is a question of the boy being able to accept his situation and not fight against it." Every boy in the school here has broken the law. Lamb,- form erly with the court of domestic re lations in Portland, calls it "pre Ssnting a serious community diffi- 8YNOPS1R OP AXNtTAL STATEMENT For toe jcar ended December 31.

Orecoa culty." Among the commoner causes for incarceration Are auto theft, burglary, sex offenses and extreme vandalism. Car theft is probably accountable for a ma jority. And for that, says Lamb, you can shift part of the blame to thoughtless motorists who leave their cars open and ready to go. The Institution has 275 acres, a mile north of Woodburn. The attempt is made to make the school as self-sustaining as pos sible. Twenty-five acres are in or chards, planned under the Oregon State college extension service. There are prunes, pears, apples, cherries, peaches, walnuts and fil berts. 80 Cows Milked ' About 30 registered Jerseys are being milked at the Institution, producing all the milk the boys need with the balance fed to pigs. The school has a fine swine herd and butchers about 2,000 pounds of pork a month for its own use. It has 15 acres of truck garden where each year it grows corn, beets, turnips, carrots, cabbages and other truck. The balance of the acreage is in hay and grain. There are five reguiar cottages, each alike. At one end of the first floor is the dining room, at the other, the squad room or recreation room. There's a show er room on the first floor, and also lockers. Upstairs are the dormitories. Each cottage has its own playground area. The institution has a modem school building, where boys study during the life of their terms. The attempt Is made, says princi pal Wade Binkley, to design the classes to fit the boys so that they can shift easily back Into public schools when their terms are finished. btewart lUlarK, head parole ol- Smoky says- 'VfJP.

On the staff are 81 lull time employes and 27 part time employes.

Several get jobs as bus boys utter their tiiua ul the school is. up. Lamb sums up the objective: "The problem is to help the boy loam how to handle fiwdom and get along with others without violating the law. "If you're going to teach him how to handle freedom, you have to give him freedom. At the same time you have to keep con trol so that the boys can't further harm society. "The problem Is, how much freedom the boy can take and how much restraint he needs. "The objective is to get the boy into useful work and activity in which he Is interested and so will feel no need for reverting to lite gal acts."
