So the league created several years
ago, has fiourished like the green bay
tree. And then, at the beginning of the
present year, one of the league members,
who had interested himself in variety of
matters, wrote to DR.. Stokes of the
prevalent interest in prison reform, and
iuclosed a number of prison newspapers
which he had accumulated. Dr. Stokes
read the papers with deep interest. Ihey
were carefully prepared, and in the artl-
cles were flashes of satire. touches of
sentiment and sound moral argument
which pleased him.
"If these men felt they could get the
same encouragement outside of prison
that they get inside. he said to hmsel, !:
eff they did not feel that every mans
hand was turned against them the mo-
ment they were free. then / believe that
much of the work Of regeneration would
prove more successful than 1t has IN the
past
Accordingly, he took up the idea with
members of his league. He wrote to
them, asking If they would not aid in
general. non-political movement for
prison reform not in the matter of Civ
ing prisoners better food and more exer-
else. but by giving them something to
think of while they were In Jail and a
hope of the future when their terms
expired.
Why. they wanted to know, should they
-self-respecting people-be compelled to
suffer the contamination Of an individual
who had signed somebody else's name 10
a check. or. even worse who mad oeateh
a fellow citizen so effectually that he
had been sentenced for five years for as
sault with intent to kill?
DR.. Stokes was patient. Any man who
has studied chemistry knows perfectly
well that no one makes a reputation in
research unless he is able to give JOB
running start of 100 yards and beat him
at the half-mile mark. Patience and
perseverance were as much parts of Dr.
Stokes as his arms and legs. So he kept
on in his fight for the cooperative aid
of convicts.
In his little paper, the Critic, he kept
rounding at the league members. He
argued that a convict was the victim
of circumstances, of idleness, Of dis
sipation-of the many other evils from
which society, in the aggregate. was
protected. He said that there were
many living dead men. men who ear
nestly wanted to do right. but who. un-
less helped, would be crushed by So
ciety back into the black morass from
which they were trying to escape. He
also pointed out that in spite of a pre-
vailing prejudice against 1T the ancient
doctrine of the Nazarene. Help one
another" was still accepted by many
Christians as an active bit Of philoso-
ply. Thus by gentle irony one moment
and strong argument the next he
gradually won his leaguers around.
They commenced to say
We'll. this will be a lot of fun, any
how"
knew they would say in the end. HUI

sciousness and restored to law
abiding society by persons whom they
have never seen? Is the criminal in prison
radically different from his brother who
is outside?
There are men and women in Wash
ington who have never seen a prisoner
and whose notions of a penitentiary are
confined to the vague supposition that il
resembles a cattle pen, who will unhesi-
tatingly answer the above question in
the negative. But there are others-a
multitude of others-whose answer is diff
ferent. They are the men and women
who believe that all men are men and
all women are women; and who know
that environment and the 'slngs and ar
| rows of outrageous fortune play a
larger part in the evil of the world than
| the inherent wickedness of men. And
these persons will unhesitatingly answer
in the affirmative.
DR.. Henry n. Stokes. formerly a wide.
ly known chemist and now director of a
library league. is seeking to interest the
public in his plan for the reform of con-
that many have become interested al
first on the same principle that church
goers are always interested in a slum-
ming trip.

There We're others. men and women who
dreamed of the future of the nation
There were men and women who knew
that Japan. by reform in her prison
system. had reduced the number of con-
firmed convicts to 3 per cent. while the
United States. enforcing her system, had
40 per cent returned prisoners in her
penitentiaries-men who had been beaten
and abused in every conceivable way
and who were bitter. unrelentine enc
mics of society
Disseminating knowledge is the way
is the prosaic side. The other, the ro-
mantle side. would furnish a master of
fiction with material for story plots
through several jncarnations. DR.. Stokes
deals entirely with chance. He does not
know his convict. He does not know the
league member. Destiny is the means by
which the convict is saved. The skeptical
may call it chance. DIR. Stokes calls 1t
destiny.
DIR. Stokes was born of Quaker lineage
in 1889 in the state of New Jersey; He
graduated from a college in Philadelphia
went to Johns Hopkins for his degree as
doctor of chemistry. and afterward
studied in Germany. He was in the geo
logical survey and later in the bureau OF
standards before his interest in his
library league led to his resignation
from government service.
