REFORMED BAD
BOY GOES WRONG
lnoorrIglble Lad Of Toledo, Whose
Brain Was Repaired by sur.
gerry, ls Now Worse
Than Ever
Special TO The Herald

Special TO The Herald
TOLEDO, April 2.-After one Of the
most remarkable experiences tbat eter
befell any boy, Harold Hurley The
pioneer brain surgery subject in Tucae
county has been taken to IenoasteT
way 'i0 ''u
The Hurley case excited in+oros+
which extended from New Yorl, citH,
to the golden west Hurley's case was
believed by officials and surgeons 10
have demonstrated that an operation
on the brain was q speedy and perma-
nent method of reformation.
The hypothesis that crime was caused
,by brain pressure was followed in Hur.
ley's case by two operations. The skull
was trepanned and portions of the
brain removed. The first operation. an
parently, transformed the boy In
stead of a noisy, vicious, vulgar little
runaway, he became a quiet, docle
obedient child, with tastes and ambi-
tions exactly opposite to his former in
clinations.
Strikes Head on Stone
One day he was swimming, and in
diving struck his head upon stone
hidden by the waters. He suffered a
relapse into his former bad habits and
was again taken to the hospital where
his skull was again opened and the
brain treated. Then Harold was good
again and for some time continued to
be a model boy.
But short time ago the lad mani
tested symptoms of his primary bad
condition and soon became more incor-
rigible than ever. He ran away from
home, lied, swore and was in truth and
fact as bad boy as the worst. The
juvenile court officials could do abso-
lutely nothing with him, his father
had chased him from one end of town
to the other and had even tied the lad
up, but without avail The boy devel-
oped wickedness to remarkable ex-
tent and one day he was brought into
the juvenile court and placed under
observation. He showed no signs of
improvement, so he was sent to Lam
caster.
Hurley's case seems to have demon
strated that while brain surgery is a
temporary success, the natural condi-
tion of the brain reasserts itself after
q time and that a normal mind is not
a pure mind.
1t Was argued in Hurley's case that
a normal brain would engender no
evil, but juvenile court officials are be-
coming convinced that mind may be
normally bad and that brain surgery
is too sudden change. Reformation
hereafter in Lucas county will be at
tempted along lines of mental training
and by change of environment rather
than by brain surgery.

all are useful and afforded us much ma
tcrial.
"The most important problems. so far
as the public can appreciate. centre about
the stack for storing tho books and the
reading room for their principal use. We
found the best illustrations OF practical
stacks I'm the Congressional library and
at Columbia university. We found tho
reading room OF the Pennsylvania Law
Library almost identical I'm type and size
with that which we arc likely to have
here.
1--WE were especially impressed more
often by the absence than by the pres
ense OF unified administration rooms. The
new building of the New York Public LII
brary furnishes an excellent example In
respect 10 the latter idea. At New York,
Springfield and Brooklyn we were afford
ed the advantages of examining the plans
OF the new public libraries that are be-
ing erected in these cities.
The building committee for the library
at the Brown university was especially
fortunate in getting the advice and co.
operation of Mr.. Soule and his expert
cnce will prove valuable in the selection
from the mass of material which We
gathered on our trip OF information, and
suggestions for our own buildings.

Beer Going Up.

New York, Dec. ei.--Secretary Charles
J. Warner Of the Brewers association
said yesterday that the price OF beer
was not discussed at yesterdays meet
ing of the association. but that al
though no concerted action on the part
OF brewers had been taken or was like
~ TO be taken. the individual brewers
would undoubtedly advance their prices
on Jan. I.
The advance is caused by increased
cost Of production. Malt. which a year
ago was at 81 cents. Is now s1.25: the
cost of cooperage Is advanced as per
cent. to so per cent. over las year. corn
and rice are much higher; hay and oats
for feeding the brewers horses are
higher Where oats were selling az
36 cents n bushcl last year. one brewer
last week bought $500 bushels mt 81
cents. Wages also have increased and
the hours OF workmen have been short
encd.
The brewers figure that. all told
there has been from - cents TO 81 a
barrel increase I'm cost OF production

Preparatory TO the erection OF the John
Hay Library at the Brown university
grounds, III. l.. Koopman, the librarian
OF the university. in company with
Charles &. Soule. a wel-known architect.
made an extended tour Of the principal
cities OF the country for the purpose of
examining the important libraries with
a View toward obtaining suggestions 10
be- embodied In plans for the erection OF
tho John Hay MEMORIAL Library In this
city.
Mr. Koopman returned yesterday. When
seen by representative OF the. press he
was enthusiastic in regard TO his recent
trip. lie said:
Cornell university library is most
carefully planned for the uses OF mod
ern university. Here we found that SINH
liar conditions as to site existed that
confronted us here. The ground was
sloping, and to overcome this the stack
for books has been SO arranged that the
reading room floor comes directly oppo-
site the contre'of the stack. the books ex-
tending below as well as above the read
ing room floor. II Is more than likely
that a similar plan will be followed out
by us.
I'VE found several Libraries in which
the architects had planned monumental
exteriors and left the books TO SHIFT for
themselves on tho interior. In other cases
we found where Immense sums 6 money.
even as high as $500, had been spent
upon some special feature OF decoration,
that had to be covered by shelving or. for
other purposes and thus practically had
been thrown away.
of the most wisely designed buildings
that we visited one OF the most interest
ing cities visited was Brooklyn, where the
branch libraries, L. i'm number, represent
