Digit School Report.

The monthly report of the pris-
ON night school shows that the av-
erage attendance was $50 during
December. The compulsory at
tendance was 81 and the voluntary
88. Seventeen pupils were tenn
porarily excused from attendance
during the month and FIVE perma-
nently. Six pupils were enrolled,
seven discharged from the institu.
ton, and seven reported for breach
of institutional rules.
AS none Of the pupils was re.
ported for lack of interest In
school work, it is to be surmisec
that steady progress is being made
by the night school. Supt. Van
dereike is constantly in attend
ance at each session to advise ane

neW Years Day.

On New Years Day the inmates
of this institution again had the
pleasure of listening to a show
composed entirely of home talent.
The show consisted of vaudeville
specialties and was staged by
"Zim," assisted by Prof. Burch-
ards orchestra. The men who
took part in the show only had a
week in which to rehearse their
several parts, but it is evident they
made the most of their time and
took pride in making a creditable
showing.
The monologue and song by Mr..
R. @. F., the singing and comedy
sketch by Webb and Tim, and the
talk and dance feature by Mr..
Ford made the hit of the show,
and they were compelled to an
swer to several encores. Mr.. r. G..
F. did exceptionally we'll in his
first appearance as comedian,
and his many friends lost no time
in congratulating him after the
show was over. Mr.. G. did some
very clever acrobatlc stunts, and
also showed the audience that he
was familiar with the swinging
clubs.
Some Of the singing, altho not
quite suitable for holiday, was
passable, and perhaps the reason
why it did not grip the audience
was because of hasty judgment
and the brief time for practice.
However, the last piece on the
program made up for any defects
in the singing parts, and brought

the party took lunch at the prison.
In the afternoon the party held

mas message.

This yuletide greeting is sent to
prisoners, like those of previous
years, as personal message of
hope and courage for the new year.
l would have each of you feel that
it is letter of love and of faith in
your highest possibilities. All
previous messages have brought to
me a multitude of grateful express
sions, and many evidences of per-
manent helpfulness. If this one
shall likewise give birth to new
inspirations and higher impulses,
l shall be satisfied.
This word comes to you out Of
a year rich in experience with
hundreds Of those, who like you,
have been struggling upward to
better things. The success achiev-
ed by the great majority of these
men give me confidence in bidding
you not despair. To be sure,
these hundreds of men who have
come to the Central Howard AS
ISOLATION for aid after their release
from prison, have not made good
without cause or effort. They
have had, first of all, the Divine
impulse to start life anew and the
Higher Power to carry it out.
Then along with their good inten-
tons, they have had the persistent
purpose to win. Moreover, they
have had the material help and
personal service furnished by the
Central Howard Association, with
out which many could not have
met and overcome all of the diff
6culties with which they were con-
fronted. As the prisoners friend,
I bespeak similar success for every

Diverse Reflections
! BY ERlD . .

"Ihink twice before you speak. ;"
Excellent pabulum for the mind!
Should one carry a note book and
pencil, for just one day, and make
notes Of the useless, unnecessary,
expressions of a day. he, or she,
would realize the true value of adj
herring to the foregoing maxim.
This doesn't apply to inmates of
prisons those who never speak
as we pass by.
Laugh and the world laughs
with you. How true! Every one
cannot laugh with the world at
large only acknowledgement each
one may create personal para
disc by learning to consider life
and its ways and means as an in
heritance.of ages departed. Pro-
fit by errors. Should an error
seem objectionable to your SEN
sitive conscience it will be of more
benefit to laugh than to pine.
The men who worked the State
PENN in the State Capitol case
have been sentenced to two years
in states prison. Of course, the
/
case will be appealed to higher
courts; meantime the convicted
men are free on bail. It's won
der society doesn't insist that he
who steals $25 be given two years
or SO, while he whom they elect to
public Office and who violates
oaths, deliberately schemes to rob
the state, ought to receive 20 years
or so. However, it's the poor man
to prison; the rich man goes scot
free-"It's the dollar that does the
business every time"
Warden j. G. Sanders, of the
Fort Madison, Iowa, prison has
had the fashlight of the Press
turned toward HIM. He favors,
tailor made suits, Numbered
shirts, and polished Shoes for
prisoners. The prison tailor shop,
in various prisons make uniforms
for inmates. Some prisoners may
not be fitted" in stylishness but
the "fts'' compare we'll with those
ofcitizens. Prisoners shirts may
not be starched but the hard
laborers require comfort instead of
style. And men 'inside," as well
as men "outside'' may brush up
, their shoes. eff man steals a
ride on a railroad he is called a
hobo. If he steals the whole rail-
road his name is mblazoned in
history as a fnancier," says Mr..
: Sanders. Hobo is polite name
for thief. The person who steals
even ride is aptly a hobo. When
there occurs an example of one
emblazoned in history as "finan-
cier," who has stolen a railroad,
then we may determine what such
a person will be termed. The
noteworthy point is the propen-
sity OF persons to mislead others.
Mr.. Sanders may be thoroughly
familiar with the needs of pris-
oners, and with the law of the
land, but his expressions SAVIOR of
immature experience. No doubt
all Of his wards are laughing up
their sleeves at his quoted express
sions. Should be endeavor to
practice his preaching he may ex-
periepce the fate of benevolent,
kind-hearted man who was ap-
! pointed deputy warden of a west
f ern prison several years ago.
This deputy carried a note book
and pencil to jot down the wants
of the prisoners. Nearly every
, inmate wanted a change of work.
, The deputy tried to fulfill their
wants. The result was that at
