which has been reached by the term Just closed
The present class of teachers we're of unusually
high standard. They displayed the same zeal and
energy as though they occupied similar positions in
a public school on the outside. Among the fifteen
teachers that composed the number at the beginning
of the session. eight of them had the benefit of four
years teaching in the prison night school, and two
of them were teachers by profession.
The relations between the prisoner teacher and
his pupils, of most harmonious nature, and
the pupils showed unmstakable evidence of learning
all that they possibly could Those who outrivaled
their classmates, were Immediately promoted to the
next higher grade, thus infusing keen rivalry
among them to study, or else be considered as
drones
The discipline among the prisoners in the class
room, exceptionally good throughout the entire
term as only SO pupils reported for breaches of
decorum, out of total average attendance of l61.
During the present term there we're held 81
school sessions. The average attendance was l61.
Fifty pupils we're admitted during the term and 40
discharged from the institution during the session.
When the school opened in October there were
only II lliterates out of total Of 161 Since then

Education among prisoners is of the best
reformation theories that has been brought forward
during the past century. It should be introduced

accomplished wonders and there is reason why it

In THE report sent in by the Industrial Com
mission to Congress- find the following sentence
referring to prisons: "Their employment with the
intention of producing revenues tends to the greatest
competition with free labor and detracts from the
punitive reformatory and disciplinary features of the
prisons This statement is grossly misleading and
contains not iota of truth. Not prisoner out

away his work and you will not only jeopardize
discipline but ruin the prisoners health impare his

OUR PRISON NIGHT SCHOOL.

LAST Monday night closed one of the most
successful terms of the prison night school ever
held at this institution. The success of this term
is not only due to the efficient supervision of Pro-
lessor Steward, but also to the hearty cooperation
and interest that Warden Reeve took in the school
personally by his frequent attendance in the class
room and assisting and encouraging them in their
studies.
To the inmate teachers who SO ably assisted
Mr.. Steward in teaching the various branches is
also due the credit for this unprecedented standard

PRISON PAROLE.

''THE Indiana reformed system of indeterminate
prison sentences is highly commended by Public
Opinion, which briefly describes it's operation as
follows: When, in the opinion of the state board Of
pardons, the prisoner is fit to make the effort to live
outside the walls he is given his freedom parole
While in prison he for himself ten cents day.
and advances through various grades until he gets
rid of the prison uniform altogether He is taught
a trade and is permitted to earn extra money by
working overtime at it. When he is freed PAROLE
agent of the state has already procured for him
place in factory a farm. His employer is
the only one who knows his antecedents unless he
chooses to tell them himself. He and his employer
make written reports to the prison monthly. and
agents of the state verify these reports to conduct
When the has fully demonstrated his ability
and inclination to live upright life full pardon is
granted him.
'sGov Shaw, of our neighboring state of Iowa,
recently paroled /fe prisoner in the penitentiary,
something that is very unusual If the indeterminate
sentence and parole system is carefully guarded it
be made of great service in eevatng the fallen
and giving them another chance to lead honest and
useful lives It is constantly growing in popularity
with the students of penology"- Minneapolis Tr-
bune.
The above differs very little from the reforma-
tory plan that has been in vogue for the past few
years at this institution. We notice, however, that
the prisoners receive the sum of 10 cents day as
good time money This is not only good phil
anthropic action, but wise measure in maintaining
a high standard Of prison discipline. The accumu-
laton of this small sum of money during incarcer-
alton, is foundation upon which he is enabled to
build sure future career on his discharge from
prison. It is also the means of assisting him in
procuring reading matter and, if he has wife and
children, it goes long way toward keeping the
grim specter poverty from their door.
Such law of paying the prisoners good time
money, would not be a new departure for the great
state Of Minnesota It has been law for years I'M
til up to few years ago, at which time it was
pealed, because there those who Immediately
squandered their money in drink upon their dis
charge from prison. Still we think the majority
benefited by this law at least to considerable
extent. The paroling of life prisoners will also
prove beneficial to society it does in giving the
short timer an opportunity to demonstrate his ability
to arise to higher things than being mere chaser
after rainbow shadows. The majority of life pris-
oners chance criminals and there would be less
danger of this class breaking their parole The
storing of the good time money law and the parol-
ing of life prisoners that should receive
the attention of the next legislature.

between Boston and New York
we're discussing a magazine article
by Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
relating to the revolutionary war.
One of the men had a current
number Of the magazine. and had
run across a statement concern
ing the British occupation of
Boston that did not agree with his
previous information on the sub
ject, and seemed contrary to the
popular idea of the situation.
He explained the discrepancy to
his companion and concluded with
the remark: "These modern his
torians are turning things topsy-
turvy. I wonder where they get
hold of all their latest informa-
ton p"
The person addressed took the
magazine and read carefully the
offending paragraph, and then re-
turned the book, saying: "Well,
I'm sure you've got me. Accord
ing to my remembrance of the
matter, as told in school histories

"Well," said the stranger, I'm

Then, seeing the look of disap-

toner, he added: "But perhaps I
am little biased in my opinion.
It happened that member of the
Republican state committee of
Massachusetts was in the car and
overheard the conversation. At
the first opportunity he asked the
first traveller: edo you know why

The head Of the household was
late getting home. He was very
late. It was long past midnight.
Indeed, the little clock on the hall
mantle had just struck 8 o'clock
when he came walking in. He had
been out with the boys, and his
wife reproached him.
"Why, it's early yet. It's not
late"
Just then the clock sounded one,
two, three.
The wife looked at him with
grim rebuke. He caught her eye
and jerked out this reply:
"Well, now, if you want to be-
lieve that darned dollar-and-a-half
clock before your dear husband,
it's all right"
It was a similar occasion, only
more so. At this time he was
little drunken than usual. His
step was unsteady, but he had not
lost his courteous manners. She
met him at the front, weeping re-
proachfully.
