One OF the most important articles of
the month will be an article on James
Russell Lowell by Edward Everett
Hale III the October number of the
New England Magazine. DR.. Hale is
well known to all the world as a bril-

Incorporated in the body Of reminis-
censes and criticism, and, receiving
publicity now for the first time, give

| Prisons that during the last fifty years
when the population has only trebied,

| fifty fold. There is one prisoner to
every 400 inhabitants in the State. and

are interpreted by Mr.. William p. An

| increase of crime, anu that the substl-
tuition of reformatory for punitive

socialism through the attractiveness Of
prison life. Mr.. Andrews will contrib
ute an article to the October Forum,
containing the results of many years
observation of the working Of the two
systems.
