How can the poor man who has peeii

hours each day to making bare living
complete his education so as 70 better

.rhe answer given at tire enthusiastic

thought Of as an institution where city
axes are wasted that few theorists
may get pleasure.
The modern city library IS nothing
a.. the sort II is part Of a great edu-
cational system, in which the grammar
schools and the high schools are import
ant elements. For example. the Wash
inston Public Library maintains an
Industrial department in which
there are 5000 books on scientific. me
cnsnical. anG Industrial SUBJ ects.. NJ lore

and 500 manufacturers catalogues are

plain man in his search for information
some % the subjects covered are :;
accounting. advertising. aeronautics.
agriculture. automobiles. bookkeeping.
carpentry. concrete. electricity. house
plans. plumbing. printing, railroading
and craftsmanship
How often does a mechanic want
lit of information that can be procured
only from an expensive book? In this
department such books are kept for his
use. and he pays nothing for this
service. II is a correspondence school
at his doors night school that he can
use all the time: a business college
without expensive tuition fees, q
university for him and his sons and his
wife and daughters.
Information means increased eff
cheney. and that means higher wages.
For the man down in the rut who wants
more income and more luxuries the
library offers the means of getting them.

Incarceration.
The average prison keeper believes
that he has fulfilled the purpose of the
law when, at the end of year. he re-
ports that no escapes occurred during
the year, and that there was no mutiny
on the part of the prisoners. He inserts
in his report some platitudinous state
ments about the spiritual aid and moral
instruction received by the convicts
from the prison chaplain. Warden
Francies. on the other hand, points out
that brains are impoverished through
lack of nature blessings and improper
nourishment. and emaciated bodies
respond but weakly to spiritual advice.
The Pennsylvania Legislature APP
propriated $500 900 with the understand
ing that the total amount for the pur-
chase OF 5000 acres of land and the
building OF the institution should not
exceed 81 250. OO0. on this great farm
convicts will follow agricultural pur-
suits that will pay for their keep. In
the shops men will learn useful trades.

physicians declared infect the cells of
the present prisons. The prison palior
will give way to healthy tan; tissue

State will restore 10 these convicts

of the prison they will be put upon

of manhood.
Warden Francis declares that:
Nothing is so badly needed to handle
prisoners as common sense. There are
two classes that should be excluded
from participating in the management
OF prisons. the nrSt DelnR composed oil
he individuals who believe in nothing
but force. and the other the ones who
believe in nothing but sentiment. a
prisoner should be handled in a prac-
teal manner regarded as a human being
who has made mistakes, possessed Of
good and bad Characteristics. No two
men are absolutely alike. either in or
out of prison. and. therefore. IL is inn
possible 20 make an absolutely dead
open and shut rule that will apply alike
10 all prisoners
There is cold. practical factor that
must be cOnsidered-the burden i'm
posed upon the public. In 1908 the cost
Of crime in the United States was

At various times the scholars Of diff.
ferent countries have tried definitely
to determine the real discoverer Of pa
per in the eleventh century. It is to
paper that we owe the renaissance of
letters. From time immemoriaI some
thing answering modern paper was
used In China, where it was manufac-
tured from silk. About the middle of
the seventh century Of our era there
seems to have been established In Ara
bia mandatory Of paper. and fifty
years later the way was discovered to
make it from cotton instead Of from
silk. silk being a rare commodity out
side of China at that time and cotton
relatively plentiful. In the reign of
Henry II. of France a Greek scholar
was sent to Paris to arrange sys-
tematically a catalogue of antique
manuscripts In the royal library. and
a notation III his hand speaks Of what
was then known as paper as orig
mating in Damascus. The later in
vention of making paper from fax, lin
en- or hemp has been attributed equal
ly to Italy and Germany. but there is
evidence thar it existed prior to the
fourteenth century.-Harper's.
