most advanced of nations differ rad
leally in their treatment OF Grimm
ais Of desperate character 1t IS in
England, however, that this question
has reached its most acute stage
With its small area and the great
population and large portion Of
big" criminals the United Kingdom
has been worried much over the ques-
tions of criminology Yet the English
have now evolved method OF treat
ing convicts that seems to be the very
best under the sun Good food, good
books, good air and, above all, good
work, most of it in the open air. does
wonders for the health and moral
stamina Of British felons
In the United States open air work
is seldom allowed to convicts. Few
penitentiaries have convicts allowed
out in the open and nowhere in the
country does the convicted felon farm
tend truck gardens. Build great walls
of masonry or practice the highe
trades Of skilled workmen. Probabl.
through the South this way of treat
ing convicts IS a httle different, a
Mississippi and a few OF the othe
states have their convict farms.
In England this is all done and we
done by the felons. The ticket G
