THE OFFICERS COURSE
OF LECTURES.

We have the impression that the
Reformatory is the first large prison
that ever called it's officers together to
listen to a special course of pathological
lectures given by an eminent authority
in penOlogy.
Perhaps Rev. FIJI. Wines may be the
first man who has ever gotten together
the material for such course, specially
adapted to officers, and put it in form
for such use, in this country. Other
eminent mon have acquired large
knowledge in the science of dealing
with crime and have been authorities
Of world wide fame in these matters,
but we are not aware that any of them
have ever put that knowledge into just
this shape and used it in this manner
1t has long been maintained in this
institution that for reformatory the
first thing neeeed is not system, but a
man. The officer is more than system.
The system is important, but the man
who in any prominent place in the insti-
tuition applies the system must under
stand it, mustappreciatei it, must indeed
be the living embodiment of it himself
The first thing in building up a re-
fOrmatory is not to build up system.
but it is to develop a corps of intel
ligent, earnest, sympathetic and eff
fective officers. The first thing in the
best prison administration is not the
management Of the prisoners, but
rather the right treatment of officers.
They are to be respected as master
workmen. They are to be held to a
high standard in difficult service, and
they must be honored accordingly.
The position of the reformatory Off
Ger is one of great dignity. This should
be true of the officers position in every
prison. But until every prison becomes
a reformatory the reformatory officers
place is one ST superior dignity and
higher privilege.
We think, therefore, that apart from

IDONAHOES MAGAZINE FOR JANUARY
The most patient and studiOus of
our European visitors, is, undoubtedly,
Paul Bourget, whose impressions of
America are now interesting French
and American readers. The impress
sions have new flavor, and new
method. They are not dogmatic. The
writer is often puzzled, and affords a
smile at his bewilderment. He is not
expected to understand everything,
and he differs from other critics, who
are certain they do understand every
thing. NJ. Bourget seems never to
have accepted theory or statement
until the affirmative and the negative
have argued it out before him. He
must have had delightful time Sc
curing his impressions. He makes
innumerable mistakes, but they are
unavoidable from the company he kept.
His chasing of the negroes, the tramps
and the Irish as among the lower grades
Of American life, shows that he must
have had the same guides in New York
as accompanied Rudyard Kipling
through the metropolis.
1t is the one satisfaction left to the
lineal descendants of John Jay. and
the Tories who remained in New York
after the British army fled from our
shores, that they can stuff a Bourget.

enough to wrong the gallant race,

spirit, permeate every department of

in fact. no success but acknowledges
them as factor. Their services are
we'll known, but the one great service
of their history has not been sufficiently
noted. In literature, politics, and relig
ion their presence has been the antidote
to the English poison. This glory is
theirs alone
Some day clever essayist will take
that fact for his thesis, and charm the
world with an account of that sweet
victory of helplessness and faith, over
error and power. In the meantime no
one need feel Irritation against NJ. Bour-
get, whose mistakes are without malice.
He is doing the country favor by de-
scribing it fairly for Frenchmen, and
admitting that he is too often puzzled
to be an authority. This must be irri
tating to the shades of Dickens and
TrollOpe, and to Mr.. Kipling, who, it is
said, in his wrath against things Ameri-
can, can bite mOuthfulls out of the
granite around his Vermont home.

DR.. Parkhurst has coined a new
word, and it's aptpess and clever con-
struction are quite likely to make it
famous. The eminent reformer's
word is "Andromania," and of it he
says:
'There is an element in the feminine
world that is suffering from what |
shall venture to call 'Andromania.'
The word is not an English one, for
the reason, l suppose, that the English
language makers never supposed that
we should need such term. 1t is con-
structed Oh the same principle as the
word 'Anglomania,' which means a
passionate aping of everything that is
English. 'Andromania' means simil-
arly, passionate aping of everything
that is mannish."

"ENDERBY's Courtship,' by Louis
Becke, is the title of very striking tale
of the Southern seas printed in the San
Francisco Argonaut of January 21st.
The scene opens in the South Pacific,
where Enderby. Langton, and Langton's
wife, adrift in an open boat, are dying
of thirst. The husband is utterly selfish,
the woman sees Enderby's superiority
and loves him for it, and "Enderby S
Courtship" is, one may imagine, decided
ly out of the ordinary.

in the hearts of all the officials of penal

in the hearts of all the officials of penal
institutions. There is no time in a
mans life when he is so weak and help
less, as when, after the expiration of
prison sentence, he stands on the
threshold of freedom alone in the world,
without name, without country, no
standing before the law or society,
nearly penniless and scantilly attired.
Turn which way he may he is bound to
face world that he has defied, a country
whose laws he has violated; society,
that has placed a mark upon him,
branding him as not worthy their notice
or aid. This the discharged convict, if
he thinks at all, realizes to the full, and
well may he say sit is hard to reform;
l am given no opportunity This
does not always apply, for there are
men possessed of sufficient stamina to
rise in spite of all obstacles, men whose
hearts are right, and in their natural
reason would not commit crime; the
great majority, however, are weak, and
unless the hand of friendship is ex-
tended them, and they are assisted and
strengthened to keep in the right path,
they are bound to fall and return to
that prison again and again. Under
the present dicipline of the prison,
especially throughout this part of the
country, the convict, if he really desires
to reform, has every means placed at
his disposal to bniId himself up. TO
this there can be no denial. Prisons
and prison officials do their duty SO
far as their duty goes; they have pro-
vlded schools, and parole systems; they
have abolished all forms of punishment
that had a tendency to degrade and
brutaliZe the convict, and if when they
discharge man upon the expiration
of his sentence he is not better man,
the fault lies with the man himself. 1t
then becomes the duty of society to
provide for the weak and erring brother
by placing him amid surroundings that
will elevate and ennoble; furnish him
honorable employment, and show him
that it is possible to do better and
receive entire forgivness for the past
by doing better in the future, and not
permit him, disgraced as he knows him
self to be, to drift back into old haunts,
only to return to life of crime. 1t is
natural for the majority of mankind
to desire better life, and society but
protects itself in encouraging this
desire. 1t is cheaper to furnish man
employment that he may be kept from
temptation and crime, than it is to
hunt him down, drive him from COM
munities, make him an outcast, and
force him to crime to be punished by
imprisonment; yet this is the history of
many convicts today Men preach
against Christ and the bible, every day;
but in spite of all their doubts and
arguments, thatspirit of ''do unto others
as you would they do unto you" is grow
ing; the spirit of brotherly love is ex-
tending among all the ranks of society,
and it can have but one result, the
betterment of the human race.

ANOTHER instance of the growing
desire upon the part of the authorities
of penal institutions to aid the con-
vict to reform, is their advocacy of
the enactment of laws that will give a
discharged convict his liberty in the
summer time, or spring and fall
months. No man can realize the bene-
fit of such law so fully as the dis
charged convict himself: and there are
so many reasons for such law that it
would be impossible to go into them all
in this short article. But the principle
reason is, the almost utter impossible
ity of obtaining employment during
the winter months, and the cold wealth
er and hardship of this northern
climate, confronting a man. with but
a small amount of money and no
friends. The hard uphill work it re-
quires for the ex-convict to get a start
in life after doing term in prison, at
any season of the year, seems not to be
taken into consideration by the majority
of judges; they do not consider the many
obstacles that surround a man who
re- enters the world, his only recon-
mendatiOn being, desire to do we'll.
procure honest employment, and re-
pair a life that has been wrong. The
man is not considered His after life,
the fact of whether he is to become a
good laW-abiding citizen after his
discharge or not cuts no figure:
he has committed crime, the laws say
he shall be confined in prison so long,
and he is sentenced in about the same
way the auctioneer knocks down a
bargain to the highest bidder. The
laws, in their proper Interpretation, are
not meant as a hardship to any man,
be he vlolator of them, or seeking
their protection. A man is sent to
prison for violation of the law, to
reform, as we'll as punish him for his
transgression. Can it be called refor-
nation to sentence a man for any
number of years, and then throw him
upon the world in the dead of winter,
with but few dollars in money, scant
clothing, not friend to assist him,
and branded "a discharged con-
Wet? Ii so, it fails of its pur-
pose and should be repealed. Re-
form the criminal by all means, if
possible; if not, keep him in prison
forever, for reformation is never pos
sible where hardship to the offender is
used. 1t is, we repeat, healthy sign,
to see men whose lives are devoted to
the upbuilding and care of the Grim
inal, who, of all men on EARTH know
their needs, and what is necessary
to encourage them to lead better lives,
take up these matters that are so
important to SO many unfortunates,
and we trust the legislature will do
something along this line.
