In Massachusetts many misdemeanors, such a.

tramping begging and vagrancy in all their
phases, are punishable by sending the offender to
the East Bridgewater farm colony. Last year
there were over 1000 commitments to that in

on indeterminate sentences, the maximum time
being at present two years. Until recently the
maximum term was three years. but the shorter
term has been found to be SUFFICIENT In the

has been exemplary. 1t is estimated that but 10

many of them do elsewhere. but more than half
