HOW LINDA GILBERT CAME TO TAKE UP
THE WORK AND WHAT SHE HAS
ACCOMPLISHED

1T is not generally known" said a member OF
the Ethical Culture Society recently that the first
libraries introduced into prisons placed there
through the instrumentallty Of a woman-Linda
Gilbert. The story OF the inception of this work.
which has grown to be large one. is most inter-

Miss Gilbert when little girl lived a small.

cuped by the city Hall and county buildings. The
child was fond of reading and would frequently
pass by the prison. book in hand. one day an
elderly man behind the gratings begged the child
to lend him the book she was carrying. The con-
sent OF the warden was obtained and the book
handed Others followed, until every
book the child had loaned to the prisoners.
The work thus accidentally begun by the child
has been carried by the woman, who has sue
ceeded in having libraries introduced and main
taned in thousands Of prisons. Miss Gilberts in
terest in the prisoners soon broadened beyond a
desire for their recreation, and she began
TO direct her energies to their redemption from
crime
In recent interview with Miss Gilbert she sad
