Reforma,ory Training.

The formal graduation" OF class
OF young men In the school of letters
at the Indiana Reformatory, In JEFF
fersonville, marks a long departure
from oldtlme prison methods and Is
significant Of the great progress made
in recent years In penal science.
The theory formerly obtained that
the first purpose In sending man TO
prison for committing crime was
that of punishment The protection
of the public was also a consideration
involved, but the Idea was that as
long as the offender was behind the
bars the protection existed. After his
release the community took its
chances.
In the minds of advanced students
Of penology the protection of the pub
lie is the first idea; but their theory
10 that this is best obtained by making
better man OF the criminal, so that
when he emerges from his prison be
will no longer be a menace to the
world. Punishment is not done away
with as an element In proceedings
for a sentence of confinement behind
stone walls, whether for one year
or 10, is punishment and Is felt to
be such. whatever the purpose with
which 1t is rendered But young men
need no longer bid farewell to hope
when they enter prison doors, Some
times they find there the first oppor-
tunity they have ever had to At them
selves to be useful and intelligent citi-
zens.
