Excerpt from The Twenty Third Biennial Report, 1925-1926 We must go backward or forward; progress or retrograde. NO worthy leadership can regard responsibility except as a challenge for public service. Ours is a sacred and solemn summons by society to train difficult boys where all others have failed. Our leadership, methods, and facilities must perforce be superior to those heretofore encountered by the boys committed to our care. The State Of Colorado deserves an industrial training school second to none in its methods and facilities for the training and treatment Of its difficult boys to the end that they may become patriotic and useful citizens of good character. Necessary funds to accomplish this service for society should be recog nized as a good investment, socially and economically - one that will repay the state many fold.
