Whittier State School

Whittier State School.—One of the best public schools in the world for juvenile delinquents is probably the California Industrial School at Whittier, and to no one man is more of the success due than to Dr. Walter Lindley, the ex-superintendent, who has recently resigned the position which he held. He believed that four things were necessary in the teacher in helping the boys there besides educational qualifications, namely, neatness and care in dress, gentlemanly manners, pure language, and a kind, true, and strong heart. And these qualifications are good everywhere. May the doctor's work abide, and may the blessing of the Lord rest upon the labors of the present superintendent, Mr. John E. Coffin. The school numbers now three hundred or more.
