Clabaugh Comments on Conditions at St. Charles School More than 100 notorious criminals have been committed to St. Charles School for boys instead of being sent to Pontiac, Joliet or Chester, where they belong, according to Hinton G. Clabaugh of Winnetka, chairman of the Illinois pardon and parole board. "Almost any criminal above the age of ten years may be sent to the peni- tentiary at the discretion of the court. Boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty-six may be sent to Pontiac. There is not now and never has been any justification for sending tough criminals to St. Charles to mingle with and contaminate the majority of poor young boys who are not criminals at heart and whom it is possible to re- form," declared Mr. Clabaugh. "Qt. Charles is a school for boys. It was never intended to use it as a peni- tentiary or reformatory. There are no walls, no cells, no way on earth of preventing escapes or, indeed, of pun- ishing vicious inmates." " For the last seven years, every year, between 44.8 and 48.6 per cent of the boys paroled from St. Charles have violated their paroles, school statistics show. In 1921 there were 176 escapes. in 1922. 230, in 1925, 11, and in 1927, 152 escapes. ; There is nothing to prevent the en- tire school from walking out in a body. Yet the courts of Illinois, it is pointed out, are sending to St. Charles as juve- nile delinquents boys who have com- mitted the crimes of manslaughter, as- sault to murder, burglary, or robbery, and other felonigus offenses. Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Andestad, 1159 Chatfield road, and Lawrence, are leaving next Wednesday with two Chicago friends for a camping trip in northern Wisconsin and Michigan. They will be gone two weeks and will also visit with friends at Iron Moun- tain, Mich. .
