Industrial Education.

Within the last fifteen years there has been a
prison population has fallen from twenty thou
sand in 1877 to twelve thousand in 1892. There
are various reasons for this steady decline, but
one of them given by the English prison commits
siOners, is the extension of industrial education.
The falling Off in the commitments for crime
has been very largely in the direction of crimes
against property. The temptation to steal comes
easily to those who not fitted by proper train
ing to earn an honest livelihood, and the facilities
for such training have not been what they ought
to be. To learn the elements of reading, writing
and arithmetic in school. is not sufficient to
teach boy what to do with his hands, when he
gets out of it. A few years ago prominent
minister in New York State was asked by a man
how his son could obtain an industrial education.
'Steal $25 was the reply, land have him sent
to the Elmra RefOrmatOry.'' The boy could get
an education in prison which he could not get
outside. In other words society was giving to
men who were sent to prison an education
which. if it had been received in time. would
have prevented many of them from going there
at all. Thus we have been doing in prison the
work which ought to be done outside of prison.
The meeting which was held in Boston last week
in favor of trade schools. and the general devel-
Opment of interest in this matter all along the
line, are healthful developments of public senti-
ment.-ChriStian Register.

A Separate Prison for Life Men.

Warden DurstOn. of Sing Sing'PrisOn is strong
in his advocacy of a separate prison for fe-term
prisoners. He is firm in his belief that life prs-
oners ought to have place by themselves. No
matter how strict the discipline there is invari-
ably showing of sympathy toward the life man.
If there are any favors or easy jobs to be given
out in prison routine, there is a feeling that the
life man ought to have his burden lightened, and
soon these men come to be regarded as more or
less distinguished prisoners. Discipline is not
so strictly enforced in their cases as with the
short term men, and the result on the prison
routine is not desirable. With the life men out
of the way, changes in the everyday life of the
prison could be made that would be received
acceptably, not only by the prisoners. but by the
management. Mr.. Durston explains his views
in this way:
Il would build a small prison within easy
reach and not far from the center of the State
I'd put wall-a very high wall-around it. L
would make the cells rOOmy and comfortable.
and send only life prisoners therein. Y. Sun.

The Judges Partner.
SHORN POET

Justice was discriminatory mixed with
charity in the YOrkville Police Court Yesterday
morning when motley crowd of station
house dodgers were arraigned before Justice
Grady. There were thirty-sX of these unfOrtu-
mates who had sought shelter from the bitter
cold weather on Tuesday night. at the various
station houses, and number of them proved to
be respectable mechanics who unable to secure
employment, had spent their last cent and could
not pay for nights lodging.
The last one of the batch was Fred Squires, a
bright eyed, earnest looking youth, who told
a pathetic story. Fred said he born in
Elmira seventeen years ago. When he was ten
years old his parents died and he was left with
no other relative than an older brother, whom
he has not heard from in several years.
Fred came to this city seven years ago. He
sold newspapers and lived at the NewsbOyS'
Home. Then he shipped as cabin boy on
cOastng schooner, but he was anxious to get
started in some good business and gave up his
seafaring life after years experience. He Sc
cured number of positions, but bad luck seemed
to follow him. Several weeks ago he secured en-
plOyment with a concern engaged in manufacture
ing electrical supplies. He was sent to make fire
in the Furnishing room morning and several
hours later the place was enveloped in flames.
No one knew how the fire originated, but the
blame fell ON Fred, and he was discharged. He
had tried in vain to get work. and now he was
ragged and seedy and Respondent and asked to
be sent to the Island Justice Grady was touched
by the boys story, and taking dollar from his
pocket said
