Necessity Of Inspection in the Inter

suits. x

TO the Editor Of The Gate City:
1t goes without saying that the pub
lie schools Of Keokuk are up-to-date
and we need go no farther than our
tax bills to be quite sure that no ex-s
pense is spared in keeping them at
high water mark.
/ think we are including In the,
course a great many things that some
old fogies believe should be omitted,
but then If modern demands require
the younger pupils to make mud
balls or puzzle pictures from card
board we must keep up with the pro-
cession. We even go the extent OF
! having truant officer to see that all
children are sent to school.
| When they arrive the usual process
| Is to arrange them In classes accord
ing to age and then It becomes the
| duty of the teacher to try to fit them
according to a cut-and-dried rule to
some scale of results, just about as
impossible as was once said by LIN
4 coin when he said you could not fit
square plugs in round holes
i believe 90 per cent of the teachers
realize that there is yet something
needed that will give them or some
one else in power the right to cut
loose from present methods and quit
! trying to at square plugs in round
i holes" However, in trying to frame

RESULTS OF PRISON "REFoRM.v

The policy OF coddling ndi uehcu
criminals inaugurated by Warden San
dars of the Fort Madison penitentiary
is bearing its legitimate fruit. FRO
fessional crooks no longer dread
term in the pen, where life Is made
as pleasant for them as possible. In
proof of this we have the testimony OF
Assistant County Attorney Tom Guth-
rie Of Des MONIES, who is quoted IN
the Register and Leader as saying:
warden Sanders reform methods
IN the penitentiary at Fort Madison
NAV be all right but they don't work to
decrease crime and restrain criminals
through fear of incarceration in the IN
stitution. The reports which have
come out from Fort Madison Of how
nleasant Warden Sanders makes 1t for
the prisoners has reached the crooks
and they no longer dread years sen
tence or even longer term. This
nan McClenahan just sentenced to
wear for wife desertion, is quoted as
saving that he doesn't care for the
term he has received He says that
walter Scott. well-known Des
Moines crook, is driving a Wagon
every day driving back and forth IRON
the prison to the city, going outside
the walls and around at will. He says
he will have as good time as Scott
II is the same with other prisoner
and bad men as it is with McClenahan
They will pull off the minor crime
now and take chances on getting

that it is not hat bad to be confine
there
1t was foregone conclusion fror
the first that such results would TO
low. Instead of tending to discourag
crime, Warden Sanders mollycoddl
methods invite its commission. Apprs
pos this matter, the Iowa City Repui
lican suggests that in case Hatch, tn
convict who escaped the other day,
recaptured he should be given a from

moral improvement and told not to b
