At RAILWAY HOLDS
EMENT'
Prominent Guests Pleased With
Conditions at the State
Institution.

The wonderful improvement of con-
EDITIONS at the New Jersey reformatory
near Railway was shown to some So0
or more prominent guests
there yesterday at the closing exercises
of the institutional school. h guests
came from all parts of the State, and
included many men and women whose
names have long been identified with
charitable and reformatory work.
The startling changes i~naugurated
by DIR. Frank Moore, who succeeded the
late DIR. Mastin fifteen months ago as
superintendent, was remarked by all.
THE old-time guard with his night
stick and holstered revolver was alb
sent, and in place of cringing and sui
tlen-fsced hordes of boys was a thor
oughly disciplined and enthusiastic
,army, full of pride in the martial app
spearance and OH edge to do onors
and credit to DIR. Moore n his staff of
able assistants, who have changed the
rule of fear and brutal punishment to
tone Of human understanding and man
ily ~endeavor.
Prior to the exercises the guests were
AeStOIltu by III. ENpblt dilt lis oN''
lover the wide grounds of the ipstitu@
stion and shown the productive VeSet-
able gardens and farm where the boys
do all the work Of cultivation and har-
vesting.
In the shops they were shown ina
PIGMENTS, tools. utensils, clothing, etc.
all of which is made from raw ma
terials by the inmates under the direc-
ton of the institution instructors.
DR.. Moore explained to his visitors
that since taking charge of the re-
sformatory he had permitted the boys
5committed to his care to select occu-
pations and established a merit sys-
item with such success that at present
more than 100 of the boys are prac-
'tically free of all restraint. When he
first took charge runaways from the
institution were constant, bu today
there are none who wish to leave
Many of the boys have accumulated
considerable sums by reason Of then
intelligent labor, and these sums are
held by the superintendent until such
time as the day of discharge arrives.
The program of exercises was pre-
coded by a gymnastic and physical
drill, in which 4S9 boys at present in
the institution took part, The New
Jersey reformatory band of two dozer
pieces entered the auditorium at the
head of the marching boys. all of whom
were dressed in khaki uniforms made
by the boys themselves.
The speakers included DIR. Moore
Vivian M. Lewis. of Paterson; Judge
John A. Blair, of Jersey City. and for.
mer Governor Foster NJ. Voorhees,. OF
