Tarver to Retire After 42 Years at Louisiana Training Institution
Benjamin Allen Tarver, assistant superintendent at the Louisiana Training Institution, will retire next Tuesday after 42 years with the school. He joined in 1917 as a night watchman and saw the student body grow from 23 to over 300, with about 5,000 boys passing through. Tarver, married in 1922 with six children and 13 grandchildren, recalls a 67 percent rate of good outcomes for 1942 rehabilitated boys, and his push for house fathers and mothers. He plans to retire July 1 after a career praised as one of the best run schools in the United States. Tarver has served under 15 governors and 11 superintendents, and remains active in church work.
