MEMOIRS OF WAUKESHA COUNTY 189 if that may be so denominated. Both vocal and instrumental music are taught and the boys take great delight in their work along this line. There are first-class teachers in both departments and the fine boys' band demonstrates both the ability of the teacher and the aptitude of the pupils. Lack of space forbids going more into detail in regard to the splen¬ did educational work which is being done in this institution. The school has been especially fortunate in the character of the men who have been placed in charge of it, and especially so in the case of Prof. A. W. Hutton, the present superintendent. He is a man of a large and generous nature, who has the happy faculty of combining a kindly and pleasing address with the exercise of perfect disciplinary power, and of winning both the respect and affection of the wayward youths com¬ mitted to his charge. Few people realize the work that is being done in the Industrial School, either in kind or extent, but it is one of the humanitarian efforts at reclaiming the unfortunate or degenerate, which is well worth studying by any person interested in that work.
