EDUCATION AND CRIME


One of the paramount questions
of today is, what is the effect of
education on crime? The effect
of education on crime is beneficial.
This is a plain fact to all inter
ested in criminology. The statist-
les Of England and the United
States for the past decade will
show that with the advent Of edu-
cational facilities into penal in
situations crime has decreased re-
markably.
Crime is not on the increase in
this country, as some pessimists
would have us believe. They have
no foundation for such an asser-
ton. They have no facts or fig
ures to support it. The number
Of crimes committed hold about
the same proportion to population
as they did fifty years ago, with
the exception of a few of our great
cities. [ will venture to say that
the books of any penal institution
in the United States will show
that the prisoners who are most
tractable and who are more easily
brought to conform with disci-
pline, are the highly educated
criminal and the intelligent crimi-
nal with an average, or above the
average education.
But this should not be con-
strued to mean that longer term
of imprisonment means a better
opportunity of obtaining an edu-
cation. On the contrary the term
should be shortened, and the
means of obtaining an education
should be increased. The major

the allies. This was denied, how
ever, by later dispatches. It was
also rumored, presumably from a
hostile source, that Germany,
Russia and Japan had declared
war and that they had asked the
United States and England to re-
tire. This was emphatically de-
MED subsequently. There can be
no question but what the Chinese
are seriously interfering with COM
munications and committing other
barbarOus atrocities.

CHAUTAUQUA.

The Pierian Circle held meet
ing up to its usual standard in
chapel hall on last Sunday. Pres.
Rose presided.
The announcement was made by
the chair that four weeks from
this meeting would occur our an
nual election of officers and in
connection Pres. Rose made the
statement that he would not be a
candidate for reelection. This is
a source Of regret to all those who
have the best interest Of the circle
at heart, as under his able adj
ministration the circle has reached
a higher plane and is better and
stronger than ever before. Pres.
Rose has proven by his untiring
efforts on behalf of the circle, as
we'll as by the gentlemanly, cour-
teous and, at the same time, firm
discharge of his duties as president.
That although we will not have
the privilege Of honoring him by a
reelection, yet as a member he
will ever have the best interest of
the circle at heart and can be de-
pended upon at all times to fur
Their the interests of the circle. The

ity of penologists will support this
assertion.
And why should not education
cause crime to decrease? An ig-
norant criminal who has no idea
of his duties towards his fellow
men or of the immense power that
he is warning against when he
attempts to prey upon society,
cares very little for doctrines, the
cries or statistics. But when he
obtains an education and is en-
abled to peruse and interpret the
sacred scriptures, the sciences,
PHILOSOPHERS and other studies, life
takes new meaning for him. He
comes to realize that there is a
higher and more refined state of
existence than his own, and his
ambition is awakened to become
one OF those in this upper circle.
Religion should not be compul-
sorry in any penal institution.
Religion is not compulsory in any
institution whose management has
a modicum Of ability. Compul-
sorry religion creates hypocrites;
and a criminal hypocrite is decid-
eddy more obnoxious to society
than a plain criminal, for it is
much more difficult to detect the
good or bad metal in a prisoner
when concealed beneath mask of
hypocrisy.
I think our forefathers did well
to refrain from mentioning re-
ligion in the Constitution; for if
there is anything worse than state
with one church, it is state half
hypocrites and half faithful.

There is nothing more servile
and cringing than for one to think
seriously Of his little pewee critics
who feel it their bounden duty to
take exception to anything that
does not conform to their low form
of ethics. They are so narrow
minded that they are not to be
considered as true prophets. Their
presence is very enjoyable, for
their little squeaking is something
like disenchanted music that has
been in storage for a number of
years.
