"How are vou getting along at ft* Jachnn Tr lining School?" a reporter askqd Mr. J P.

I'm the happiest man in the State, for within two years, nfter the insritu tion was chartered-bv the General Asstinblv of 1907, our board has so manage! the aff iirs anl intert sis of the Training School, that we have now a most excellent propertv, ideally located, the practical woik got 114 on and all who have vi-ited us or made any investigation of the work have become enthusiastic and loyal supporters."

"Why when 1 left home la«.t Monday ing Raleigh, Police Justice Stron ach brought a respectable hard working carpenter ot the city to me seeking admission of his twelve- son, who had been dis missed from the pu l lie schools aud later got into the toils of the law. That boy will make fifty-five And the Recorder of Charlotte and offi cials of • other places are seeking admission for boys. "We are doing all irt our power possible to hurry along additional buildings, so as to increase our capacity. Ft -4s cheaper, better, more Christ-like, for the State to take care of these unfortunates when voung. than await a short time and then take charge of them as full fledged criminals " "How do you account for this condition among the youth of the State?" I asked Mr. Cook. "Don't 1 you know that ninetv-nine cases 1 out of every one hundred is due to vanished parental control, or indif- 1 ference or hysteria. Some boys are spoilt by parents wanting to whip the teacher,"but most so-called | bad boys ar those that are per- , mitted to run the streets by day and 1 by night. You quit your work late at night and, going home, you see ' yourself boys aud youths on the ' streets. I have never yet under- | stood what business any boy has on the streets at night. !
