It may be stated the Howard associations take
their name from the originator of this phase of
reformatory work, John Howard, who the
sheriff of Bedford, England in 1913 OF Howard
it was said, He trod glorious but unfrequented
path to Immortality"
So, the sessions of the American, Prison
citation will present the story of the New Human
ity in action. This accentuation of the spirit of
mans faith Inv his fellows has been made possible
only by the wide cooperation of state and prison
officials, together with the supporters of the work
and the large number of friends who believe that
kindness will win where severity must fail. I'm

In connection with the parent association

the assertion is often made that crime is increasing
there are no statistics to support the assertion On
the contrary, there are no evidences of consider
able decrease of crime in proportion to the increase
of population. Every penal institution in Illinois
has about rs per cent fewer inmates than they con-
tanned five years ago. 1t is known that organized
gangs of criminals can no longer be found in Chi
cago to ply their trade systematically, they did
ten or twelve years ago. These facts should give
new courage to all believers in good citizenship
and human progress. Still other problems in this
direction are pressing for solution such as the
abolition of pernicous Jail system, the injustices
Of the fee system the deprivation and suffering of
innocent families of offenders the Influence OF poll
tics in the administration of penal institutions, ETC.
Associations like the Central Howard organiza-
ton are according to Dr. Emory and other experts,
standing midway between the church and the
state graphing successfully and at first hand with
these problems" These students of the question
of prisons in the relation to the general interests
of the community have in mind the eventual trans
formation of all prisons and reformatories into
schools and workshops. They advocate the pay
ment Of prisoners for their work, and the adoption
of an adult probation law in every state Pending
the realization of these objects the aiding of re-
leased prisoners is engaging more and more of their
attention every year. OF this feature DIR. Emory
says:
This practical work Of making good citizens
out of bad ones has had most gratifying results.

&SSSSS study their condition and philan-
thropists who aid society's enemies and vic
tims-all these will be in Omaha quite numerously
for the sessions of the American Prison association
October II to 49,
This is one of the greatest factors in the modern
movement for the betterment of the human family,
and the very lively interest felt in it's work and OBJ
jects by thousands of the leading and women
of the United States assures the opportunity for
Omaha and Nebraska people to see and hear great
group of students and workers whose names are
famous experts in their particular fields,
The objects of the American Prison association
can be set out under the four principal heads:
one-The improvement of the laws in relation
to public offenses and offenders and the modes of
procedure by which such laws enforced.
Two-The study of the causes of crime, the
ture Of offenders and their social surroundings the
best methods of dealing with offenders and of pre-
venting crime.
Three-The improvement OF the penal correc-
ttonal and reformatory institutions throughout the
country. and of the government, management and
discipline thereof, including the appointment Of
boards OF trustees and of other officers.
Four-The care Of and providing suitable and
remunerative employment for discharged prisoners,
and especially such as may have given evidence of
reformation.
It will be realized that pretty broad program
Of positive humanitarian effort embodied in these
four planks; out through determined ana ehhBnt-
ened effort and nationwide cooperation much
has already been done to ameliorate unnecessarily
hard conditions within the prisons Of the country
and to make self-respecting and self-supporting
thousands who have felt the weight of punitive
laws.
Not only does the Prison association take
lively interest in those sentenced to expiate crimes,
while they are incarcerted and after they are
leased but It also devotes good deal OF solid atten-
ton TO corresponding evils and njhstices in the
laws OF the nation and the states. II aims to have
the inmates OF jails. reformatories and penitenti
aries treated deoently after conviction, but the
DERIVING aim that engages the most serious atten-
ton is to create conditions that will bring fewer in
mates to the prisons, and after they again set
adrift in the community to get hold of them and
provide opportunity for regeneration in citizenship
The of the achieved in these two lines
OF effort will be told in detail by persons actually
IN touch with the work all over the country.
