THE INDIANA REFoRMAToRY

The annual report for i911-1912
of this reformatory teens with inter-
est. The superintendent urges
the purchase of l,O00-acre farm
for purposes of reformation. and to
solve the prison labor problem. At
present more than half of the $2O9.-
1885 of annual expenditure is
supplied by the earnings of the
trade schools" part of which are
run on the piece price" basis. The
statistical tables are excellent, far
ahead of most institutions of this
kind. We should be especially in
terested in the fact first that the
Indiana Reformatory had the dis
position of $18, 900 appropriated for
paroled prisoners; moreover, the
law places supervision over offend
ers released on suspended sentence
in the hands Of the Board of
Trustees of the Reformatory. This
permits of an extent of unified ac-
ton that must work we'll. The
statistics on this place show 1922
per cent. delinquency in suspended
sentence, as against 24.06 per cent.

the ADvAMIAsE OF OUTDOOR LIFE

IT PAYS TO BE

You Can Be a Gentleman In Prison as
Well as Anywhere Else. Try 1t and
You Wilt Find That il pays.

Are you looking for something
that will pay? Well. it pays to be
gentleman, even in a place like this,
and that is an accomplishment easily
acquired by anybody.
What is a gentleman? The die
lionaries say: A well-bred. honor
able man; man of education. high
principles, courtesy and kindness;
any respectable and we'll behaved
man. Here is western definition:
A man that is clean inside and out;
who neither looks up to the rich nor
down on the poor; who avoids liq-
uor and bad company; who can lose
without squealing and win without
Dragging; who is considerate of
women, children and old people,
kind to animals, to brave to lie, too
generous to cheat; who takes his
share of the world and let's other
people have theirs
We may not all have as much ed
ucation as we would like; our enyi-
ronment may not have been all that
could be desired; but we can all
have kindly intentions and generous
impulses. The true gentleman is
not tattler nor scold; is not en-
vious of another's better fortune;
does not use profane or obscene
language, or place himself on level
with those who do. He is gentle in
his manners, in his thoughts and in
words. He does not rejoice in the
i'll fortune of another, but strives to
help up rather than pull down.
In fact, the man who has a gener-
GUS heart and cultivates a kindly dis.
position; who sympathizes with an
others distresses, and strives to help
any who may need help; who has
consideration for the humble as well
as for those In better circumstances,
is truly gentleman, although his
garments may not be of the latest
pattern, hisspeech notwholly refined.
and his table manners not fully
up to the standard of polite society,"
Thoughtfulness, kindness, gentleness
surely these are obtainable by all
Of us, if we try to cultivate them.
True gentlemanliness is a product
of the heart, not a veneer that is
put on in order to appear like gen
tleman. Monthly record.

AGAINST LEASING PRISONERS

From a recent issue of the Tam
pa, Fla, Tribune, the following
excerpts are taken, referring to the
prisoner lease system in operation
IN that State:
The public sentiment of the
State appears to be practically
unanimously in favor of abolishing
the contract system. We have
just inaugurated governor who
declares against the system in his
inaugural address. and who may be
expected to do all in his power to
have the lawmakers wipe out this
blot upon Florida's fair name. A
writer in a current magazine shows
that the leasing of prisoners to
work for private contractors not
only makes unfair competition for
other workers, but causes barbar-
GUS treatment of the prisoners. The
governor of Southern State was
telling an English visitor of the
workings of the lease system in his
State. Every prisoner we have
pays us a profit of $50 a year over
and above all expenses 'Then,'
said the Englishmen, if the more
prisoners you have the greater the
profits why not put all your popula-
ton in prison if you are in it as a
money-making scheme?'

BIENNIAL REPORT INTERESTING

The biennial report of the Ponti-
&C Reformatory for the period from
July 1, 1910, to June 80. 1912,
presents number of interesting
features. An evidently highly
efficient printing department in the
Reformatory has enabled Superin-
tendent Russell to bring before the
public much information tn a t
should arouse sympathetic and
cooperative attitude among the
people whose aid is so important in
the rehabilitation of the offender.
Three booklets, besides the report,
give beautiful reproductions of
views at the Reformatory, full de-
scriptions of some of the import
ant trades with good illustrations,
and brief but well-stated explana-
tion of why the Pontiac Reform
atory is Illinois Big Polytechnic
School," Yet there seems to be
many obstacles IN the way of sue
cess. Attention is called to the
fact that the law is in many ways
unsatisfactory. The age limit is too
low, excluding many who in other
states do receive the opportunity Of
education in reformatory. Most
interesting, however. is perhaps the
fact that Superintendent Russell
himself formerly a judge-enters
the ranks of that constantly grow
ing group of practical penologists,
who believe that the treatment of
all offenders found guilty by the
court, should be decided upon by a
Penal Board" having general juris-
diction over the whole penal field.
The Illinois State Reformatory has
an average population of almost 700,
with a capacity for approximately
acknowledgements.

DERELIcTs

There are only two courses open
to humanity, the right and the
wrong, which might be likened to
ships at sea.
Every ship must have a rudder
with which it may be guided on its
course. and every human has con-
science which should guide him in
the way he should go.
Only derelicts, or ships that are
lost and abandoned by owners and
crews, are allowed to drift about at
the mercy of wind and wave, and
the marine world keeps vessels con-
stantly on the lookout for these
derelicts because they are a men,
ace to traffic.
The person who has lost his con-
science, who is not able to Judge
between right and wrong, may
rightly be termed derelict and
therefore is menace to his fellow
voyagers on the journey of life.
Great efforts are being made by
oganized society to care for these
human derelicts.
Sometimes abandoned ships be-
come water-logged and sink just be-
low the surface of water. They are
not visible to those ships that are
on the lookout for them, and some
times speeding vessel, loaded with
its precious freight of human lives,
collides with this hidden danger and
great loss of life follows.
So it is with humanity. Some
times the character of a man may
appear to be all that is desired by
society; his record good and his
habits and manners as placid as the
summer sea, yet that same man may
have within him that which has lead
many mortal into sin.
1t is these things below the sur
face that count. because the hidden
menace is more dangerous than the
one we can see.
Nobody would deliberately step
in the way of train. OF course
not. The danger is in not seeing
the train in time to get out of the
way.
Great steamers are not always
abandoned because they sink.
Thousands of dollars are spent in
raising them ana they are repaired
and sent out on new voyages.
Why, then, should we be dis
couraged because we have seen our
pet ambitions sink beneath the
waves of the sea of disappointment?
We should not be but rather we
should brace ourselves. gather new
courage. raise up new hopes, repair
all damages, and start on new roads
of ambition.-M. Harbin. in Ind.

Thoughts that do often lie to deep for
tears,
what a wholesome effect outdoor
life and employment would have on
men when undergoing sentence for
wrongs committed.
The time is coming when most
prisoners will be sent to a hospital
rather than a prison. In this hos
pital the mental stress, or / might
say the overstress, will be treated as
the skilled physician treats physical
ailments. Until we advance in
matters of penal reform, as we
should like-were the public pre-
pared for it, the next best thing is
work for the men out in the field
under the open sky. Close confne-
ment and cloistered life produces
loneliness, lonelinessproduces melan-
chOly and that Is apt TO ruin the
prisoner. We are fortunate enough,
so far, to obviate much of this by
giving employment to all the pris-
oners-. But we can only give out
door employment to those who work
on top and on the farm. 1t is a
known fact that open. air employ
ment has wholesome effect on the
prisoner, and especially work on
the farm will often do a man more
good than all the drugs of the apoth-
ecary. 1t puts new life into man;
inspires him with new hope and
animates his very being. 1t makes
him take heart and gives him new
angle of vision and puts new life
under the skeleton ribs of ruined
character.
