School for Boys are hoping that
by Chrutmaj urn they will
have found 7 off campus
homes, or more, for IT boys
. who have earned parol from
the training school.
According to kindly and un
derstanding Don Miller, super
visor of home placement at the
school, there are 13 boys at the
present time in off campus
homes, some of whom have
been there more than a year,
and all of whom have made
fine adjustment.
At the last session of the
legislature $40,000 was approp
riated and especially earmark
ed for use in the payment of
board and room to persons who
would take a boy Into their
home.
State Will Pay Up to 1125
To a homemaker who would
take one of these boys the
state 1 prepared to pay from
130 up to $123 each month. The
last named fee 1 for the ex
ceptional child who needs lots
of care.
In addition, each boy upon
being placed in an off campus
home will be furnished with a
complete clothing wardrobe,
personal things and spending
money each month for haircuts
and so on.
Don Miller point out that on
the average four out of five
boys go completely to the good
after leaving the training
achool. Although these boys
have, come from confused.
strident settings, after their
time spent in the well-run at
mosphere of the training school
where suddenly adult have
treated them fairly and con
sistently, they are ready in a
comparatively short period to
be taken into a home where
. normal people who are capable
of showing warmtn oi reeling
and understanding complete
the adjustment process.
Will Lead to Stability
Authorities at the school be
lieve that with one or two years
of steady care In in off campus
home where security can be
found, a boy can finish high
school and get part time work
which lead to his much need
ed stability.
The achool is not interested
in breaking the bond between
parent and a boy. It la inter
ested, in keeping a boy away
from the wrong home atmos
phere. Among the 17 boys now wait
ing for an off campus home are
boys who range in age from 12
to 17, but most of them are 14
and 13
The average stay of these
boy at the achool has been six
to eight months. Three have
been a year.
Own rarenta Not QualUed
They either have no parent
to go to or their parent have
been Judged not, qualified to
have them, or to give them
proper supervision.
Their offenses against society
range from shoplifting, petty
theft, truancy from school, to
taking an automobile.
In order to match these boys
up as much as possible with
homes, the achool is hoping to
find more than 17 homea so
that there may be a chance to
realize this goal.
A' Fable for Illustration
The following fable is for
purposes of illustration only,
and is not to Insist that "for
man hath no preminenc above
the beasts, for all is vanity,"
according to Eccletiartes, is
truth.
A Tint was once nude to the
Oregon Humane society for the
purpose ef ukisg a dog home
(or a pet. The dogs were ar
ranged in wire cages along the
wall and attached to each dog s
gate was a lettered sign. Some
of these red. Car Chaser,
Chicken Thirl, and so on
The car chaser was selected
since his new home would be
wsy out in the country where
a car seldom would be seen on
the narrow graveled road.
Had his new home been in
town, the chicken thief would
have been chosen since it is

rarely that neighbors in the
city keep chickens.
Bill, this collie dog, for
whom was paid the sum of one
dollar, lived to become a very
old dog before he finally died,
after enjoying the eecurity bf
a home rather than experienc
in the crippling death be
would have certainly met had
he been able to continue bis
habit of ear chasing.
Far This Is Not His Name
First among the 17 boys who
need a home there is Tom, ana
that it not his nam. Tom comes
from an Irish-Italian family
where there are 13 brothers
and sisters. He was sent to the
training school for theft, steal
ing money from milk bottle,
trinkets from a dim store and
so on. Tom latner sometimes
works aa a carpenter, but us
ually he does not work at all.
Hi mother u exnaustea pnys-
lcally, having had a child each
year for 15 yeare. Tom re
spond well to affection and to
supervision. He is of average
intelligence and he makes a
nice appearance.
When Tom first came to the
school he was asked what the
family did when his father was
out of work. Tom answered
what to him was a very simple
Question.
"No problem when Dad's out
of work. Mom Just goes to tne
welfare for food.
Tom has an older brother in
the service who is married and
who has done very well. Don
Miller, home placement super
visor, feel that Tom could go
to a home where there are
other children and that he
would become a very nice ad
dition to the family.
Then There I Bill
Bill, who is 14, come from
the so-called other end of the
social scale of society. He has
been at the school for a year.
Before he came he had run
away from his home many
times. He was finally sent to
the school for prowling cars.
Bill is a boy with a high av
erage Intelligence and his
wealthy parents are a step
father, with his own father
dead, his mother, an older sis
ter away at quite an expensive
boarding school, and younger
sister, product of the present
marriage.
Bill wrote letter after letter
to his parent asking them to
visit him and finally one day an
answer came from hi mother.
It only asked what they were
expected to do with hi pet cat,
since they were leaving soon
for a trip to Europe and had no
place to leave it.
Bill, who ia an open and shut
case of parental rejection,
rarely smile. He will go out of
hi way to avoid apeaking to an
instructor whom he may chance
to meet on a pathway at the
school because he i so insecure
and ao certain that he may not
be spoken to.
Contrary to popular belief
regarding step-parents, the
school authorities feel that this
stepfather has really tried in
the past to be a friend to Bill,
but Bill's mother is very Jeal
ous of that attempt at affection
and will finance the person
who takes Bill with up to $200
a month for his board and
room.
Bill, who Is described as the
sad" boy, will have to go to a
home where there are no other
children. He needs all the at
tention he can get.
He is not interested in sports
but he reads a great deal and
has a stamp collection. He is
very artistic In handicraft
working with ceramics, carved
designs and plaques.
He is a very handsome boy
with sandy brown hair, deep
blue eyes, and average height
and of sliaht build. HI. behav.
lor is very good
Here's a Boy Called Peter
Peter needs work on a farm.
At the school he has been a
dairy worker for a long as he
has been there and a good one.
Peter, of average intelligence,
is a hard worker. He is 17 and
doesn't need to be sent to
school for he has gone as far as
is necessary.
Both Peter's parents remar
ried and he ram from a home
where there was much drink
ing and dissension. At 11 he
was the housekeeper at home

for his father and younger
i brother. He arose at S a jn. to
make hi father' lunch.
Peter found himself at the
training achool after swiping
hub cap from cars and other
items to make hi own Jalopy.
Peter ia husky and has a fine
build. He has worked in the
school dairy for mere than
eight months.
gam Doesn't Want Affection
Sam is the son of an officer
in the armed service. Hi
mother, who waa quite beauti
ful and talented, ha disappear
ed. Sam hardly remembers her
since he was brought up by his
paternal grandmother.
Sam knows that he has no
home to go to even If the auth
orities did approve of hi for
mer home. He knows that he
will live in state paid homes
the rest of hi childhood years.
His father tried in the past to
get the grandmother to adopt
him so that he might be absolv
ed of all responsibility.
Sam needs people who do not
make a great show of affection.
He is a very well behaved boy
and Sam was sent to the school
after atealing a pie from a bak
er's truck and breaking some
windows.
Hope to Find Receiving Home
Don Miller said be would like
to find an older couple who
would be interested in running
a receiving home for several of
these 17 boys and others like
them who have no place to go.
A couple who have an older
type home with several bed
rooms would be ideal for boys
who do not belong in the train
ing school any longer and who
have demonstrated their stabil
ity and who are well adjusted
children.
Miller visualizes a middle
age couple whose family has
grown up and gone, who would
like to do something for chil
dren. This home should have
enough property ia that the
boys could occupy their time
with chores. It should be close"
enough to the city so that there
is recreation offered and in a
school district where the boys
will be accepted; legally they
must alwaya be, but sometimes
they are not accepted psycho
logically. If this couple would take at
least five boys, they would be
paid $60 each month for each
boy and the school would as
sure them that they would have
at least two boys if not more at
all times.
The school would make rou
tine visits every other day to
help the couple with any prob
lems that might arise.
Camp at Tillamook Head
MacLaren school for boys al
so has a program which is al
ready in operation. It'a a camp
at Tillamook Head out of Sea
side. Boys who go there to live
are those who like the out-of-doors,
and who have minor his
tories of delinquencies and who
are beyond school age.
They stay there nine or 13
months. It was started two
years ago and two or three staff
members from the school and
usually 25 boya live in the
buildings there.
These buildings were former
ly used by the weather service
but had been abandoned for
eight years previous to the time
the school took them over.
The park department is de
veloping this area for recrea
tional purposes and the boys
work on the project for $1 a
day.
In view of the top news to
day in America in the matter of
the rising rate in Juvenile de
linquency and now under study
by the federal government here
Is something that anyone can
do.
Don Miller will gladly accept
all calls regarding homes for
these boys at the MacLaren
School for Boys at Woodburn.
