INMATES TO WORK CUT THEIR SALVATION Colonel Drake OntUne to the. Board of Control III Plait for Making th Institution of Service to the. 'State. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, Aug. J8. (Special.) Th Iowa Industrial Behoof for JJoys, located at Eldora, 'a undergoing transformation amounting almost to revolution, which, .when completed, will make of It In fact what Its official-title Implies. "If Is to be Under the mupngemeiit. of Colonel L. D. Drake, a state Industrial school for boys. Industry will be the most prominent fea ture of the school work. The boys will be taught how to become self-supporting and useful citlsens, and as soon as they have shown themselves'. oapatis of caring for themselves they, , will- be discharged. Heretofore the work at this Important school, where over WO hoV are kept at all times, has been' confined largely to agriculture and a few trades like shoc inaklng. Now the school Is to b greatly broadened and ..large' workshop Is about to be equipped with woodworking tool and machinery and tools for metal work of various kinds. An important addition will be a' firs b-c lass- printing office, and the boy & ' will pe -taught', how to become good printers. The machinery and ma terial for this will soon be ordered. Colonel Drake, the new commandant, who took hold less than a month ago, haa had much experience at Boonevtlle, Mo., where he -had made a great reputation for auccess .In managing a boys' industrial school. He -demonstrated - that bad boys may be Jed to good Uvea by habits of in dustry. To put Into force his system the methods of th school " will ' have ' to be revolutionized. . . v Outline of His Plan. In making his annuaj report to the Board of. Control, covering the last year of his predecessor, Colqnel .Drake apologlxes for Inability to give anything more than bar statistics, and In a letter to the board briefly outlines his Views Us to the policy he will pursue at Eldora, saying: .My. 0,r""r'tlons have led me to conclude the Industrial school for boyir is an ad mlr' '"taut'on, and one with splendid possibilities. The Idceii. of the superin tendent are In perfet ' accord with the board relative to the Industries contem plated, which will secure to very mnny boys who may in the fnture become cadets of this institution advantages second to none. The state of' Iowa Is looking for boys who can do Something and that something well.' This Institution will. In the years to come, send out a majority of boys who are or may be here receiving Instruction in the Various branches of In dustries who will no longer look to the great commonwealth " for assistance, but on the other hand, wilt contribute to the betterment of the state by being honest, upright, self-supporting citizens an honor to their alma mater and a credit to their families. . .: , How It WlJJt Work. It Is our purpose to'-adopt a system of gradation that will dpertrte in favor of each boy, one having sufllcient elasticity not to prejudice ajiyone affected by. It. The school of letters, the industrial occupations und the deportment of every hoy will determine his length of stay in; the-lnstftution. Every boy who applies-filnijijfj clpselv can gain a unit for'each department and each vntt multiplied by the.efllcieacy jif the boy will determine the number-credits earned each day to offset the demerits , charged against the boy on his entrance,., Hpnce.rlt may seem that any boy who gives close appli cation will. .be amply repaid In the credits gained each day, whjoh certainly offers sufficient stimulus -to -any self-respecting boy to try his utmoHt-.to get himself an education, both of hand and 'mind. It is absolutely essentia! tri-Whe 'hMtrt rievolnn. I ment of the boy hnt,.the hand be taught ro-worx in narmrmy w-lin the mind, thus securing? to-the one-giving stfch applica tion an occupation,- which. -In the future, will afford: him an. honorable livelihood. I wish to add that Jt.rwiH be the purpose of thur superintendent- to devote aa much time as possible, to the development of in dustries of thLs-Institution,- knowing full well their worth to the boy who may in the future be numbered' among the popula tion'' of ' this school. The system of deten tion as having been practiced through the years prior to my taking charge Is re garded by me as faulty apd detrimental to every boy. The thought Uppermost with the Institution should be to teach these boys self-support, self-reliance and self respect. No boy should remain In the in stitution a length of time that will cause him to become Instltutlonlzed-and look to the., state to 1 furnish his sunnort an In definite length of time. . To the contrary. me popunation 01 ini institution should change rapidly In consequence of the boy . Ill XN 63o I & iei 99 : Prv7 ' ' J 1 ' '"' " " ' :; .In. the September .. . :- v. i - ' .

The master mechanic states that he had been directed to limit the payrotrfor the month to $5,000, but a part of the month had gone before he received the order, and now It ia necessary to en tirely close the shops until September 1 to keep within the limit, when he Is assured that the shops will he reopened to remain.
