instead of to COW and harden them
aud make them feel that they are
social outcasts with no hope for the
future. But beneath the silken glove
is an iron hand and the prisoner who
does not strictly obey the rules and
demonstrate that he is worthy of the
efforts to help and encourage him is
quickly deprived of all privileges and
rlgidly disciplined.
That a large majority of the in
mates deeply appreciate Mr.. Drum S
attitude is demonstrated by the ex-
cellent discipline which they main
tain, the interest which they manifest
III the reputation of the institution
and the pride which they show in
doing their work well and cheerfully.
The whole atmosphere of the peni-
Tertiary is changed. The inmates no
longer sink about with shaver heads
hanging and eyes ayerted, like sullen
animals with hatred and vicIousness
in their hearts, but walk erect, with
an air of self respect in their bearing
and the light of hope in their faces
They feel the responsibility of main
tanning order instead of leaving it to
armed guards, and regard the warden
as a helpful councillor rather than
as a hated tyrant.
Little has been said about the rec
ord which Warden Drum is making,
because he is a quiet, unassuming
man who deyotes all his time to his
duties and does not try to pose as a
reformer, to seek newspaper motor
iety or to cut a dash in society.
Nevertheless, he is doing a great
work and rendering the most valu-
able of all services to society, restor-
ing the manhood and making good
citizens of those who have gone
wrong.

If the lumbermen will face the
