Charles Haywood was at St. Anthony Idaho Industrial Training School at the age of 13.
"The Idaho Industrial Training school was created by an act of the legislature in 1903 and is located two miles west of St. Anthony. In the 30 years of its existence it has developed into a nationally known institution, and now ranks among the top three correctional schools in the United States. There are now 18 buildings, 15 of them brick, including a hospital, gymnasium with tiled swimming pool, and one of the most modern class room buildings in the west. The two latter are among those built by the boys in the school with bricks made in the school brickyard. Trades of many kinds are taught, and music is stressed in band and orchestra. The girls' cottages were built one-half mile east of the main group of buildings. An average of 225 boys and 65 girls were in the school last year and there are 53 officers in charge of the various phases of work. Six hundred fifty acres are included in the school farm, and 110 registered Holsteins are included in the dairy herd."
