be felt, as any one who has tried the

IDEALISM IN PRISON TREAT
MENT.

Michigan shows that it was not firmly
settled in its liberal treatment of pris-
oners in the state prison by going to the
other extreme when some of the con-
victs tried to escape from prison. To
subject the would-be fugitves to flogging
is return to barbaric past which does
not match up well with the practice of
allowing prisoners to engage in baseball
matches, have entertainments, and, in
short, to have everything but their lib
erty, The idealism which ruled in the
Michigan state prison prior to the time
when the party OF prisoners raised re
volt and tried to fight their way to free
dom received severe jolt. Perhaps the
idealism was carried too far in a prac-
teal world.
