Price Goes Up
While the price of making good boys
and men out of WayWard youngsters
has gone up because of the new system
of surrounding them with home influ-
ences, the directors and friends OF the
juvenile asylum and the city authori-
ties as well are reconcled to the
change. They believe in the new idea
so firmly that they are planning to
build more cottages where the boys
may live in pleasant home surround
ings. These men have the utmost faith
in the method which separates one type
of young offender from another, and
brings out individual merits by discov-
ering and removing individual defects.
Parents of wayward boys are coming to
have the same faith, too for i'm some
cases they contribute to the boys sup
port according. TO their needs, which is
a point the court determines, the as
sessments ranging from so cents to 81
week. There are a few instances
where well-to-do parents pay the full
price, and would gladly pay any price
to have their children subjected to the
business-like method of reformation
followed at Chauncey. But the asylum
prefers to take the children Of the less
fortunate, who compose the bulk Of
prisoners in children's courts today, and
who, according to the Chauncey idea,
will, i'm eight or nine cases out of ten,
become useful and honorable men II
they can be given new start and a
fair chaice.

WHAT It COSTS
TO REFORM A BOY
AT JUVENILE ASYLUM EXPENSE
is S2O6 A YEAR
Reform, Like Everything Else, Going
Up in Price-ResuIts Justify the
Increase-How Experts Study
the Raw Material
Special to The Herald.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.--It costs $206 a
yaer to turn a bad boy into good cit
izen. At least this is the latest figure
reported by the New York juvenile asy-
lum which, for more than half a CEN
tury, has been engaged in the work of
transforming street urchlns of the me-
tropols into sclf-respecting men.
The price of reformation, like the
price of almost everything else, is going
up. A few years ago the young va
grant or petty thief or all-rOuud rogue
was was sent to the asylum cost Sl31
annually for clothing, food, lodging
and the education by which he was
polished up mentally and morally.
But times have changed. Reform was
cheaper then because methods We're
different and less efficient. Not many
years ago juvenile delinquents were
huddled together like troops i'm bar
racks. That was under the conEregate
idea. At one time when the asylum
occupied a building in the city llOO
lads were sheltered under one roof.
Now only twenty boys, and boys all
about the same age, live in one of the
fifteen cottages or families that COM
prise the little village on the heights
between Chauncey and Dobbs Ferry
SOME twenty Illlto OUT III TIC country
This Is the segregate idea which offers
better opportunities for the constant
study of each individual case and
which is as different from the old meth
cd as the comfortable home is from the
whitewashed county jail. The number
OF children at Chauncey IS now $50.
On a Business Basis
Reformation in these days is conduct
ed on a business basis The authori-
ties OF the juvenile asylum can tell all
most to a cent what it costs to make a
boy into a good citizen. OF the $2OG the
boy costs the asylum each year $l45 is
contributed by the city, for with few
exceptions asylum boys are committed
by city authorities acting through the
children's court The balance OF the
cost of making an honest man is con-
tributed by the directors of the asylum
and other friends and champions of the
bad boy who, sociologists have discoV-
cred. is more sinned against than SIM
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-13

ming. Since the asylum was founded,
the city of New York has invested in
this work of reformation about $4,132,-
600. a sum many times less than the
city has paid out in the same period for
policemen, court officers and Jail ward
ems. In the same half century private
contributions to this work In the pro-
motions of good citizenship have aggre-
gated $26,v, 900. Thus nearly ST. 900, 900
has been spent on bad boys in one city
in fifty years, and in the past few
years the annual cost per boy has in
creased about S75.
Does it pay? The Juvenile asylum
people, who conduct the work of refor-
nation on business principles, have
figures to show that the work is profit
able. The boys who graduate from the
asylum are generally sent to homes In
the west and it is known that So per
cent of these boys turn out well. A
visitor now in the field has recently re-
ported faVorably on 90 per cent of the
children visited but this is little bet
ter than the average. The question,
Does it pay? finds its answer in numer-
Gus life histories which are brought to
the attention of the asylum authorities.
A few days ago they received a letter
from a business man in an Iowa town
who announced his election to the
office of county recorder. He wrote
that he hoped the asylum officers would
be interested to hear about him be-
cause they had sent him to Iowa In
1851 Most of ALL" he wrote, Il re-
member those words of Abraham Lin
coin which greeted me in the assembly
roOm-'Tell the boys of the New York
Juvenile asylum that they must value
justice, truth and humanity If they
wish to become useful and honorable
men, I have often thought Of those
words. I have tried to live up to them
as Lincoln wished us to do. l wish the
boys who leave the asylum would new
er forget them. Tell them TO come
west"
Like all other business men, the au-
thorities of the juvenile asylum study
carefully the raw material from which
they make the finished product. that Of
good citizenship. Close study of the
bad boy problem reveals the fact that
/ the delinquent hailed to the children's
court Is largely the victim of circum-
stances-in this country sometimes q
very young victim, for American courts
can brand a child n criminal at the age
Of six In Germany the criminal age
! begins between the twelfth and eight
centh years. in Austria at the end Of
the fourteenth year, and In England at
! the end of the sixteenth. In this city
only boys under sixteen are sent to re-
formatOries. a boy a day over sixteen
| may be sent to Jail for stealing a street
railway transfer check while a boy
day under sixteen may commit
grand larceny and be sent TO the
asylum to repent and reform. Judges
agree that this system Is working con-
siderable harm TO youthful delinquents,
and the study of the question made by
those interested in the work of re-
form will undoubtedly lead to better
! things.
The Raw Material
In the study Of the raw material for
good citizenship, attention is paid to
details which might at first seem to be
! trivial. The experts i'm boy training
for example, understand the relation

GEM IN FAMOUS IK0N MISSING

Special Cable to The Herald
MOSCOW, Russia Jan. 12.-An en-
erald valued at $4,000 is missing from
the famous ikon of the virgin in the
OPenski cathedral, and the police
throughout Europe have been asked to
look for 1t. This cathedral is one of
the most richly decorated In Europe.
The gold of the ikonostasis is said
TO weigh five tons andA the precious
stones In the ikon of the virgin are es-
timated to be worth 100000.
1t is supposed that thief got into
the cathedral disguised as a monk and
hid until the doors were closed for the
night. But II the gem was really stolen
why was that alone taken.

Russian Punishments
What is Russia of today? What Is
the spirit of the laws by which she
is governed? What offense against
civilization is there, except the crime
OF man-holding and man-selling. which
now does not pay in any country,
which she does not commit? The Rus
sian penal code now in force through
out the empire embraces many thou
sands of paragraphs. Among those are
declared to be twenty-five degrees of
criminaliay, which are punished, some
by death, some by exile and lifelong
hard labor in the Siberian mines, after
the public infiiction of one hundred
lashes by the eXecutioners and the
branding of the forehead and checks
with the letters x. A. t.; some by
ninety lashes, branding and deporta-
ton to Siberia for life, with hard labor
various terms of years; some by eighty
or seventy lashes, branding, hard la
for in fortresses, and perhaps perpet-
ual confinement. Persons convicted of
crimes against the sacred person" of
the emperor or the members OF his
1amlly, or of attempts on the honor of
the emperor are punished with death
So are those who know of such
attempts and do not denounce them.
The intentional injuring or mutilating
| or a statue or image of the emperor,
erected at any public or official place,
Is punished with deportation for life
to Siberia and ten years of hard la
Dor SO also is the man who propo-
gates revolutionary prints. manu-
scripts or pictures. Exile to Siberia is
the punishment of him, too, who ex-
pressed any argument against, or
doubt concerning the right of the
