PRISON REFORM WORK.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
DELPHI, Ind, Oct 2S.-W. H. Whitaker,
of Michigan City. secretary of the prison
board, read an interesting paper in the
Presbyterian Church here this evening. the
subject being Reform Methods in Hand
ling Criminals" Mr.. Whitaker covered the
subject at great length. and showed that
humane treatment of prisoners at peniten-
tiaries and reformatories is more beneficial
than former barbarous methods. Special
attention was paid to the operation of the
new Indiana law In concluding he said:
MANY pages have been written and sta
tistics compiled endeavoring to show the
cause of crime. Environment, the want of
industrial training and economic habits, to-
gether with general mental culture, next TO
lack of proper parental care, defective
home influences are some of the sources
leading to many OF the detectives that are
found in our prisons. Therefore, the great
est good to be accomplished in reform
work is not within the State prison where
the older men with fixed habits are found,
but in the reform and industrial schools
where we find the Juvenile offenders who
have not been blest with parents TO give
them the proper education and a full un-
Outstanding of discipline. A large per cent.
of these youthful offenders have never had
their better natures appealed TO by kind
word or pleasant smile. which, in their
case, would always go farther than a gold
dollar. Upon the management and kind
treatment of such subjects, from day TO
day III these institutions, is nodded the
character that is designed to make useful
and respected citizens of this and other
States.
Under our system of government these
boys will have voice in the control Of
humanity all enforce the obligation to train
them into good citizens. The hope of better
things to be accomplished in the twentieth
century is confined in the hearts Of Toe
children OF to-day Ruskin rightly said
The true history of nations is not in it's
wars. but of its household. The asylims

tions of our country are only repair shops
Prevention OF crime and deficiency is vastly

Much interest is certainly being mani

quents OF our state. perhaps In no other
