a Training FOR JaiIsrs.

Schenectady Union Star: A train
ing school for jailers is the latest
proposition emanating from those Who
are engaged in the work of the uplift.
The suggestion has been made that
the University Of Illinois establish a
training school or special courses for
those employed or who are to be m
ployed in state institutions for care Of
criminals, insane persons, the poor, in
vaIids and other dependents on state
aid and care.
The suggestion Is not visionary. An
attempt is made by the civil service
laws to obtain subordinate employees
for penal, reformatory and charitable
institutions who are fit for their posi-
tons, but there is no concerted effort
to render them efficient by training
for service.
The charge Of the proponents of the
plan that the majority of the jailers
are unfit from a practical viewpoint
because they obtain their places
through political influence is probably
true, for there are indeed very few
branches Of the public service that
are free from the faint Of partizan-
ship.
A training school for jailers would
be in harmony with the spirit Of the
age calling for the highest degree of
eficiency in the public service.
