NOVELISTS SON WRITES
Behind PRISON BARS
Julian Hawthorne Regular Contributor
to Paper Published at
Penitentiary.
SUGGESTS MODEL FOR LIBRARY

Atlanta, June "A new philosophy
full of humanity and understanding,
has been born to Julian Hawthorne. son
of the great novelist, since he became
register 4435." an inmate of the
Federal penitentiary here.
The deepest human element appears
in everything he has written for Good
Word. the prison paper. The son of
Nathaniel Hawthorne has turned
minister to the heart and conscience
of his fellow convicts.
This weeks issue of the paper con-
tains the beginning OF a new depart
ment. of which he will be editor. He
writes of books. prescribing a model
course of reading made up of the
choicest literature OF all countries and
all time. Reverence for his father is
shown in his selection of two books of
Nathaniel Hawthorne. The Scarlet
Letter" and Our Old Home"
But along with his essay on literature
he wrote of another subject. which has
become more interesting to him. he says.
since he became an inmate of the prison.
There is another way to liberty he
said in his address. 1T is distributed
among the ranks in pairs, with a shelf
to each volume. Their binding is homo
genous, stout blue cloth on ordinary &C.
Casions, which on Sundays and holidays
changes TO a wooden fabric of darker
hue. They bear titles on the front and
back. There is a sprinkling of the poet
ical element and a good deal of fiction,
but each carries a historical and bio
graphical index. often illegible. Stories
of crime mingled with tragedies. or you
find a farce or comedy
With his fellow-prisoners Hawthorne is
all affability, but when visitors come he
is i'll and sees no one.
In an editorial which he wrote for this
weeks paper - implied a justification of
his own act. which brought about his
conviction.
Hundreds of men of good material.
gentle breeding, and high intelligence are
now going TO Jail for offenses which have
been in a manner created by the new
born scruples of lawmakers and the sub
tie Determinations of pubic prostitutors.
Men of honest purposes are often uncer-
tain whether or not their conduct of
their business may be beyond legal re-
proach."

ESPERANTO PLANNED
FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Washington High School Club to In.
augurate Movement to Teach
New Language.

Under the leadership of the WASH
ington High School Esperanto Club.
the Esperantists of the National Capt.
tai tomorrow morning will inaugurate
movement for the teaching of the
new language in all of the public sec
ondary schools of the city.
The first step will be the circulation
of petitions among the residents of the
District. urging the Board of Educa-
ton to include Esperanto in next
years curriculum. More than 1900
petition sheets have been printed. and
will be distributed among Students.
teachers. and business men for sigma
ture. The campaign is being aided f.
nancially by the Students Esperanto
League.
1t is the hope of the Esperantists to
have the international auxiliary language
taught ultimately as a compulsory sub
ject in the District high schools, but this
plan will not be pushed vigorously until
the subject has first been included in the
curriculum as an elective.
The high school students of the city
for some time past have been manifest
ing much interest in the language and
have formed private clubs and classes
for the purpose of perfecting their mas
terry of the tongue. Some OF the more
ambitious have entered into correspon-
dence in Esperanto with enthusiasts
abroad
Because Of this already manifest in
terest and because of the growing prac-
ticability of the language, the Esperan-
lists have reason to believe that their
efforts in connection with the crusade
will be crowned with success. 1t has
been announced that the campaign will
be a city ?wide one, and that no one will
be overlooked in the work of obtaining
signatures-not even President Wilson.
The High School Esperanto Club meets
every Saturday night at 1910 H Street
Northwest. Reports on the progress of
work in the crusade will be made at the
weekly meetings When many thousands
of signatures have been received. the Pc
titions will be presented formally to the
