takes and prontng by its successes.
For instance, only four years after
the first congress. in 1876. the first
reformatory for adults in any conn
try was established at Elmira. New
York. Today. the Elmira Reforma-
tory. the college on the hill" as Il
is called. Is famous throughout the
world as an example of the Ameri-

but on an indeterminate sentence.

win good marks. for the entire
period that he might have been
sentenced to the reformatory. had
the court pronounced a definite SEN

to reform. at least while within

The foreign delegates are coming
TO this congress in greater numbers
than to any previous congresses. for
America Is not only in general
land of marvels. but it has done
many advanced" things in the
treatment OF criminals that have not
as yet been wholly accepted as sound
on the other side Of the water. For
instance. it is very much question
with Europeans TO what extent the
indeterminate sentence should be
used. The indeterminate sentence
Is the sentence applied to Elmlra
men. Europeans are more accus-
toned to the conditional liberation
of prisoners. a system by which the
prisoner shortens his time of i'm
prisonment by good behavior. and is
then discharged and is no longer
under the supervision of the law.
whereas the indeterminate sentence

lowed breathlessly the wireless chase
OF an English fugitive from justice
across the Atlantic The problems
OF crime are very similar In many
countries. America learns from
Europe, ana Europe from the United
States. Mann OF the European
prisons are constructed on plans
worked out first IN the Eastern Peni-
'tentiary at Philadelphia in the early
part OF the nineteenth century. Our
American reformatory system was
borrowed from the English and Irish
system of treating prisoners in
vogue In the seventies of the nine
teenth century.
Indeed. this great prison congress,
which now has become the greatest
deliberatiye body OF the world in
the study OF crime problems. was
founded by an American. and he

country And so. in 1871. the
United states commissioned Dr..

sound European nations as to their
interest in the proposed interna-
tional crime congress. Favorable
responses we're received on all sides,
and in 1872 the first International
Prison congress was called at Lon

Even at that first congress the

The treatment of children is under

country and abroad. In most states

The United States Is also particu-

because we have experimental so
much with probation work for chill
dren and for adults Probation
means the suspension of sentence
after conviction, thus making It pos
sible for a person convicted of a
crime not to be sent TO prison. but
to be restored to freedom, being
placed however in charge of a pro-
baton officer to which the person
on probation has to report generally
once a week for a long period. In
this way fines may be paid off, and a
man who has perhaps been arrested
for a small crime is not Obliged to
lose his job, but may continue TO
support his family during the
months that his probation lasts.
On the other hand, the prison ad-
and the sociologists of
the United States recognize that
European penologists and crimino-
loglsts have done an immense
amount of valuable studying of
crime problems and of criminal law.

the nations they represent.

lars year. directly and indirectly.
IL takes a heavy toll of human lives,
not so much in the number of per-
sons who s:e murdered but in the
families that are broken up. In the
degenerates that are bred by crime.
in the populations of our prisons,
many of whom are physically weak
ened by long terms OF Imprisonment,
and in general by the fact that crime
drives its devotees into bad i'm
moral and unhealthy conditions OF
life that in the end react upon the
body and frequently bring on dis
ease and death.
There are about one hundred
thousand prisoners in our American
prisons today. About third of
them are discharged each year, and
another third take their places. A
problem that costs the country a bill
lion dollars a year is a mighty SER
ious problem. IL is as serious as
the question of tuberculosis. or OF
poverty itself, with which it is close
ly connected.
What can be done to reduce the
amount of crime, and to make
fewer criminals? That's the ques-
tion. The principal questions to be
discussed by the congress are the
following:
Is the death penalty longer ad-
visable for capital crimes?
