Every day at the Loo, as well as at The

CRIMINALS should
Be TREATED AS SICK
MEN, SAYS STOREY
Boston Attorney Declares
That Method of Handling
C0nyicts Should Be
Changed

Moorfield Storey, of the Boston bar, in
an address to the American Institute of
Criminal Law and Criminology meeting
in connection with the American Bar as
soeiation in Montreal, set forth the aims
and methods OF the institute and said
that the present American penal system
wa snadequate, says the New York
Evening Post.
"Our prisons are manufactures of Grim
inals, and it is time we changed our whole
method of dealing with convicts," he said.
"All convicted persons should be turned
over to a commission charged with full
responsibility for their care and custody
under an indeterminate sentence, with
authority to release them at such time
and on such terms as would guarantee
their future harmlessness to society. In
other words, we should treat criminals
rather as sick men than as bad men, and
our places of confinement as hospitals
rather than as PRISONS" Mr.. Storey con-
tnued:
Law1essness is a disease from which
even our so-called best citizens" are not
exempt. The history of Collector Loeb S
attempt to enforce the customs laws
proves this, and the business men OF hisn
standing like the officers of the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining company, and others,
the gentlemen and ladies' returning
from foreign travel, who do not hesitate
to lie or bribe in order to cheat the United
States, are melancholy witnesses to the
fact. Laws are passed to protect the
traveller on the highway from the reck-
iessness of his rich and prosperous neigh
bors who use automobiles. Are they re-
spected and obeyed or are those who vio-
late them punished adequately? That
they are not is proved by the fact that
recklessness is not abated. The automo-
bilists openly form combinations to warn
each other against the efforts of officers
to enforce the law, denouncing them as
spies" and their attempts as traps"
Our present system is to wait until a
crime has been committed. Is it not pos
sible to prevent in many cases? Take, for
example, the swindles which are perpe-

was much else to be done. Provision
had to be made Off It's maintenance, and
possibilities were seen for doing other
things along the line of summer vacation
pleasures. A club was organized to pro-
tect this work, and was named THE
Mothers Club of Hot Springs This club
Is conducted very niue hike other wom-
ems clubs. It has all the features that
make club life attractive to cultured wom-
en-, and 1t has an object that makes 1t
of interest to every person who Is in
terested in child welfare. 1t is concerned
with present-day, local matters. Instead
of studying abstract sociology, these club
members are devising ways to make life
happier for the girls and boys of Hot
Springs. Instead of abstract psychology,
they are studying the natures and the
needs of the young people of their own
town. Any woman interested in home
life and child culture may Join this club.
Its meetings are held monthly, and every
mother is welcome to take part in the
round-table discussions. The social side
of this club has not been neglected. Teas,
luncheons and receptions have been given;
the club members wisely making use of
every opportunity to make this movement
far-reaching and interesting in as many
ways as possible.
The club has been a boon to the Hot
Fairgrounds, there have been other pleas
ures. One afternoon all the automobiles
in town were loaned to give the children
a long ride Private cars and automo-
biles for hire were driven to the play
ground and there gathered up 200 chill
dren. Through private source good
moving pictures were shown free. A
shower bath was installed in the high
school. One of the entertainments given
was the TOY Shop with cast of 60
children. It's presentation was beautiful

work Is being emphasized throughout the

school at Cheney, Wash, has been most
earnest in her effort to further this or
ganization, through the young teachers
going out from this school. The Parent
Teacher club OF Seattle is especially ac-

ADVERTISEMENTS as Lure

Every person of experience knows
that such advertisements are merely de-
vices to plumber innocent and helpless
people and that many who cannot af-
ford to lose will be- ruined by them.
Within q few years in my own state
months have been spent in trying 20
convict such heartfess swindlers at enor-
nous expense to the state, and the reve-
lations made by the witnesses have been
pathetic. We all know of many such
cases that never see the light and vet
/ we let the scoundrels continue their
work. The fraud is accomplished by
the combination of two agencies, the
author of the advertisement and the
newspaper which prints 1t. They divide
the spoils, the newspaper receiving its
share In so much line for the false
pretense, the author securing the rest
after paying rent and office expenses.
Without the newspaper the fraud can
not be perpetrated. for advertisement is
essential.
Today the federal government seizes
the books and papers of men engaged
In business like this for using the mails
fraudulently, and by so doing breaks
up the business. 1t is an arbitrary pro-
ceeding, as before the seizure the ac-
cused has no hearing and if innocent.
he suffers a serious injury for which
there is no redress. This proceeding,
moreover, is founded on evidence that
fraud has been practiced. 1t is applied
after the crime has been committed, but
it shows what is possible Why not at
tack so clear fraud earlier and prevent
the crime? Why act only against one
party to the fraud, the writer, and not
also against the other, the publisher of
the advertisement? Why not authorize a
magistrate on having the advertisement
brought to his attention, either by q
public prosecutor or private citizen, to
issue a summons to both author and pub
Usher, and institute an inquiry as to
the truth of the publication? If they fail
or refuse to show that it is true, further
publication could be enioined, and proper
penalties could be provided for attempt
ing to obtain money by. false pretenses.
We indict the editors and printers Of
newspapers for libel If they publish false
statements about the person libeled. Is
there any valuable distinction between
publishing a lie which Injuries one man
and publishing lie which Injuries many

property?

The Gary School

lHt odIy CCnUOI
The school system at Gary Ind, is de-
cldedy unique, and decidedly successful.
Gary was built ready made to be a great
steel city. To this ready made went Will
liam A. Writ, Ia school man who had
long wanted to work out his own ideas
of real school but who had found that
most towns hesitate to make the radi-
cal change necessary for the introduce
ton of his ideas. Gary however, had no
school system. 1t had nothing to change
and it offered him just the opportunity
he wanted. The basis of Mr.. Wirt's whole
system is making school life attractive
and connecting it with later life. That
of course, is a common expression, but
Mr.. Writ proposed to put it into actual
practice.
One big school house, Kindergarten,
grammar school, high school all in one,
with a big five-acre playground was
built at Gary. The course of study is
approximately the same as that of other
grammar and high schools, but the
methods of teaching are very differnnt.
The children who are learning to count
do not toll over cabalistic signs on a
blackboard. They are taken out into the
yard and are taught games involving
score keeping. To learn arithmetic, the
classes go out and measure the sidewalk
and compute the cost of street improve
finance and city government. They find
1t more interesting to do this than to
solve a problem dealing with q fence
which A and b are building, or to esti-
mate how much it costs to pasture SO
imaginary cows in an imaginary field To
learn weights and measures they weigh
and measure food then they find how
much it will cost TO serve that food for
a meal. In connection with the study of
chemistry, the children learn food anal
ysis. When the girls went back after
school hours to test the milk used at
their table it was plain that they We're
vitally interested. Instead of studying a
chapter in arithmetic on United States
money. the boys and girls go to the room

pupils who act as storekeepers conduct
this just like n larger business. They
are expected to keep the stock in order
and they give a formal account at the
end of the week.
