The island is divided into two zones.
One is the free zone, where the men live
who are free to leave the island at any
time. These colonists permitted TO
take a piece of land and cultivate it,
build themselves a cabin and occupy their
time as they wish. There are now about
200 men with their families in this zone
who apparently have no desire to leave
the island at all. These colonists, with
their wives and children, associate freely
with the colonists who cannot leave the
island until they in turn have earned
Nleir freedom by right living. The chill
dren of all the colonists attend the same
schools, where they are taught prac-
ticaly the same as in the public schools
IN America, except the teachers have to
be quite fluent in the speaking of four
different MISUNDERSTANDING. French,
Spanish and Malay.

TO keep them there. and when they get
out. still more thousands to do it all over
again.
Now. looking at it in a. purely business
light. which is cheaper? To keep on re
turning men 10 the penitentiary time
after time, or TO devise a system which
will turn them out and keep them out
and make good citizens of them? The
colony at Iwahig was the result of this
Cogent reasoning.
Carroll II. Lamb IS the man who was
selected to carry out the idea. Mr.. Lamb
was well equipped for the work He had
been employed on the Panama canal and
in several South American countries as
civil engineer in charge of large bodies
of natives. He was requested to give
two years to getting the work started
After accepting the job. Mr.. Lamb found
il to be a large undertaking. He became
much interested in the work, and in
stead of the two years originally stlp-
ulated has already given more than four
years, and believes it probable he Will
remain yet longer.
The colony was established in 1905 un-
der the direction of W. Cameron Forbes
and while Luke f. Wright was governor
of the islands. When Mr.. Forbes took
office he saw at once that something had
to be done. Conditions were terrible.
There were many roads to be built, but
no labor with which to build them, with
Bilibid prison overfowing with prisoners.
To relieve this Songested state of affairs
MIR. Forbes at once set about placing the
prisoners AT work on the roads ana
shortly after this the idea of having a
self-slrpporting colony where the men
would have a chance to work out their
own future, took shape.

tered I noticed In a corner the statue
of the Virgin. and saw Immediately that
this was undoubtedly something out OF
the ordinary on questioning the pro-
prietor he said he had just bought the
statue from the monks who had d sem
mary at Meaux.
Then the artist went on to relate
most interesting history.
After the separation of the church ami
the state" he said. Just before the in
ventories were iEforced by the govern
ment to ascertain the value of the col
lections Of art treasures possessed by the
churches of the religious orders, the
monks at the seminary of MeauX hur-
riedy covered the marble statue of the
Virgin and Child with a rude. thick
coating OF paint. such as is used in paint
ing houses their only care being to
make it blue where they saw traces Of
blue, red where that color was discern
able. etc. for in many OF the early Goth
ic Madonnas the marble was tinted. The
good brothers had only one idea and
that was to deceive the government Of
ficialS into believing that the statue of
the Virgin was simply Of wood and not
of marble. To them the chief value was
that it was marble.
The ruse was successful. When the
officials took the inventory the Virgin
was passed with scarcely a glance. No
Importance was attached to ii whatever
Afterward the monks sought q purchaser
~ q marble statue of the Virgin and
Child. The first dealer approached had
enough knowledge to recognize that it
was we'll worth the $50 asked and bought

selling it to me for the insignificant
sum of $500. Ten days after, the buyers
