$pn We are not 10 favor OF it FROM the pris-
phers standpoint But from citizens or
taxpayers standpoint, will have to confess
that it would be good law. Continual
trials and convictions of the same person
would be a thing of the past, for when a
man was paroled he would have to make
good before gaining discharge, and if one
makes good for a year on parole, he is go
ing to continue to make good for he can
very easily see that it pays. AS for keep
ing man in prison until he is cured
well that will have to be tried out pretty
thoroughly before one can tell 1t may
work and again it may not. The troubles
(as DIR. Smith said in his address few
days ago. that confronts the parole board
are many, and the biggest one is to Judge
a mans character and his strength to for
sake crime, as it is as harmful to keep a
man too long in prison as it is to not keep
him long enough. So we say as prisoner,
no; but as a citizen and taxpayers, yes.

NO AILs IN ICELAND.

We learn from the o. p. News
that Iceland has no jails and no pen
itentiaries; and that there is no
court, and only one policeman, not
a drop of alcoholic liquor is produc-
ed on the island. The seventy-eight
thousand people there are total alb
stainers and will not permit liquor
to be imported. Furthermore, it is
said that there is not an illiterate
person on the island, nor a child ten
years old unable to read. The sys-
tenn of public schools is practically
perfect. and this same paper says
that much of the improvement is
due to the abolition of the liquor
traffic.

TWo-HuNDRED-NINET IN TEN YEARS.

The following news Item was TAX
en- from the Leavenworth Times of
October Ia:
Out of a total Of 1,74O paroles
granted from the state penitentiary
during the ten years the parole law
has been in effect, only 900 prison
ers have broken the confidence Of
the officials. These figures were
compiled today by S. T. Seaton, ex-
ecutive clerk for Governor Hodges.
Governor Hodges has granted Is
paroles and the Board of Corrections
has granted 157 paroles in the last
nine months; and only three prison
ers have had to be returned to pris-
on.
When Governor Hodges came into
Office he found that the inderermi-
nate sentence law had actually in
creased the time served in prison
instead of reducing it. This was
because governors bad refused to
exercise their paroliDg powers. The
men would remain in prison beyond
the minimum sentence period, and
this period was found to be longer
than the usual terms under the old
law fixing a definite time. The gov
ernor announced then that he was
going to exercise vigorously his pa
rolling power Bulletin.

ALL IN WHOSE BOY

Whether a boy is just mischievi-
GUS or really devilish depends en-
tirely upon whose boy it is. The
same rule applies to larger boys. A
woman was sitting in her home one
day looking down the street of
Grand Rapids when man was seen
staggering down the sidewalk on
the opposite side of the street.
Look at that horrid man, l wonder
where the police can be-" Then
the man turned his head and the
daughter of the house discovered
his identity and she exclaimed, oh,
mamma, there's brother George!"
The mother instantly said: The
poor boy, someone has been drug
ging him again.

We cannot always agree with every
thing our contributors say, and this week
we are going to take exception to part of
St. Croix's article on Criminal Jurispru-
dence." In one place he says: 'sThere
should be no such thing as burglary in
the first, second, or third degree, etc.,
whether the offender be minor or grey
haired master of the craft. In other
words St. Croix evidently wants to revert
to olden times, when there was only one
penalty for crime-hanging. If his article
is 10 be taken as it reads, all the reform
movements instituted since the day of bar
barism had just as well be thrown in the
scrap pile, and let the people go back
wards instead of forward. ST. Croix wants
to get rid of any of the bygone notions he
may possess in regards to matters of this
kind.

Will the farming of the state land con-
nected with the different institutions prove
a SUGGEST 1t should. AS things now
stands no one institution is able to raise
enough vegetables, etc., of different
varieties for their needs. If each institu-
ton divides its land up and raises one or
two vegetables or as many as their acreage
will stand, and will attempt to raise
enough of what they undertake, to supply
their own and one or two other institutions,
by trading off with each other, large item
will be taken off the expense bill. A far
mer who plants several different kinds of
grain on farm hardly large enough for a
good wheat field is going to loose out. If
he puts all his tillable land in wheat, and
buys what corn, oats, etc., he needs he
will come out ahead. The same thing
holds good with the institution vegetable
farms.

The results of conditions in conjunction
with the natural impulse and desires of
youth, have created a condition that has
developed with the years-and seeming un-
noticed-to such gigantic proportion that
the nations today, in their frantic efforts to
suppress its further growth, are suggesting
preventness that are mockeres to the thous-
ands who have trod the road of shame hand
in-hand with degraded conditions that the
laws of man and the approval of society
sanctioned in the days we knew as youth.
AT the present time, society recognizes the
important factor the public dance halls are
playing in the game of degradation, and
their elimination is being sought to prevent
the youth of today from tripping the light
fantastic to the tune of popping beer bot

speller each class night with review of the
preceding lesson; the session being CON
ducted as a spelling contest-one chance
given and, if wrong, the word passed on to
another scholar. When root word oc-
ours the pupils are required to spell the
derivatives. The meaning of an unusual
word, together with its right application in
a sentence is required. If the entire class
fails to- give the right meaning and illus
,trare the application, they are required to
refer to their dictionaries.
Arithmetic: This is the one serious
detail of the teaching problem that con-
fronts US, and which l am. warranted to
state occasions us the most trouble. In
everyone or the classes can be found pu-
pills that have, through their individual
studies in their cells during the off term,
become more advanced than the rest; again,
some of them are quicker to grasp the
equation of numbers than others, vet, nv
experience has been that they ali wish to
learn and that they only become dis
couraged when they perceive others in the
class accomplishing results through what
appears to them to be nebulous tactics.
The writer feels confident that you agree
with him when he asserts that individual
attention is out of the question in dealing
with the point. The-limited time left to
US for this study, after having gone through
the other part OF the routine, makes it i'm
possible to give each particular pupil atten-
ton, and yet, not hold him back on ac-
count of backward ones. Strict Standard
cation of the class in this respect is through
obvious reasons also impossible. Exclusive
blackboard demonstrations by the teacher
is, in the majority of cases, lost time; it
will get the class into the habit of expecting
you to work out their knotty examples and
spare them their energies, and this more
than aught else defeats the object aimed at.
Prof. Holland in his short valedictory to
us at the end of last term struck the kew
note in his remarks that too much time
spent in the higher branches of this study
to the sacrifice of English was detrimental
in the extremes. His words were born of
the observation that the examination papers
bore unmistakable signs that students failed
to properly analyze the examples given to
them as tests, and yet, every one of them
involved operations with which they were
familiar and, if the language that clothed
them had beeu in the stereotyped one of the
examples of their arithmetics, they would
have simply set EN- up.
This is the whole crux of the matter.
When you can give out an example with
out the entire class having to ask you
where shall we multiply and where shall we
divide, you are accomplishing something.
AS to the advanced members of the
class by holding them to the same work
and using their slate operations as models
to the others, you are saved time; they as
sist you and take pride in that knowledge.
