Correctional Ointment.

Justice Stafford, President Edison,
of the Board of Charities, and Rob-
ert V. LaDOVv, of the Department of
Justice. are to constitute the board
to inspect our local penal institu-
tions, and suggest a plan for i'm
proving their equipment. 1t is a
forceful trio, well qualified for the
work Mr. LaDow has had long
service as superintendent of United
States prisons and prisoners, and
has lately given special attention to
the two new institutions building
for the National Government. JUS
tice Stafford has identified himself
with the movement to make places
of Incarceration for lawbreakers
something more than places of pun
ishment. Mr. Edison is the type Of
the useful. successful, clear-headed
citizen who is above sighting his
public responsibilities.
But the only question about the
report these gentlemen are TO make
is one of how far they shall go. No
commission is required TO certify
that a Jail built for 800 cannot give
proper accommodations to 600; that
a community without a reforma-
tory needs one as soon as it can be
provided; that buildings without
plumbing are an affront 10 the self
respect of the least enlightened
community in the backwoods.
Nor when the report is submitted
will it reach 10 the heart Of our
difficulty Buildings are no. our
chief correctional trouble; that is a
matter of laws. With the best
structures in the world. with the
most ample and approved building
accommodations, community
which must either send all its law
breakers 10 prison or set then scot
free would still belong to the day
of Elizabeth and the Venetian
Council of Ten.
Let these gentlemen study the
situation; let them report a scheme
TO improve our jail and Vorkhouse,
and build a refOrmatory. But do
not let any of US get the impression
that such improvements are a cure.
They are only an ointment.

Mind and Matter.

Stopping short Of Christian Sci
ence and yet impressed with the
power of mind over body, thousands
Of American men and women have
wondered that somewhere, some
how. some one did not take middle
ground. Within the year this has
been done. The pastor of a church
in Boston, a certain DR.. Worcester,
has undertaken to cooperate with
the physicians, not TO supplant
them. His success has been re-
markable-nOt invariable, not mi
raculous, just remarkable-an he
has given new direction 20 the
thought Of men of medicine.
The movement has taken its name
from DR.. WOrcester's church-Em-
manuel. 1t depends from the very
first on Endorsement by physicians
and cooperation with them. as. the
other day, on opening a summer
course in this psychotherapy, he
took occasion to explain. There
are cases." said he, where mental
uplift only is needed. There are
cases where medicine. skillfully adj
ministered, is absolutely necessary.
And there are other cases where
both are essential to recovery. But
the most poignant cry of all is for
sympathy"
So the first point that DR.. Wor-
cester made was this: That the ex-
perieneed minister has a peculiar
knowledge Of suffering and power
10 relieve it. And there was a sec
ond point, which was this:
There are thousands OF sufferers to-
day who want not medical but spirit
ual, moral. religious aid. That in itself
Is sufficient reason for our undertaking
the work. The other day ! was called
from this room 10 meet one OF the most
distinguished philosophers in this cbun-
try. He was all broken down in health.
Only make me believe in God. this
man said 10 me, and I shall 90 away

ask me for physical aid, but for spirit
ual comfort.
