A MUNICIPAL INVENTORY.

To what extent can the worker ftget on in his job? To what extent can the cfty's industries give special training which they do not now pro- vide? To what extent can the schools be factor in preparing for voca- tions?
 These very important questions the city of Richmond, Va, is making an organized effort to answer for her self. Richmond has requested a com mission of experts to make an indus trial and educational survey for the purpose of obtaining full information concerning the principal occupations, especially those in which young people are employed, in order to formulate plans for improving the opportunities for training and preparation for those occupations for which such training is practicable. This survey was begun the 1st of May, 1914, and fs7to be fn- ished by the 18th of October.
 The local forces behind the survey include the Board of Education Board of Trustees of Virginia, Me chanics Institute, Business Mems Club, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Central Trades and Labor Coun- cil,. Metal Trades Council, besides a number of employers associations
 :. The findings of the survey, and the recommendations of the committee, are to furnish the basis of discussion at the principal sessions of the next annual convention of the National So- cfety for the Promotion of Industrial Education, to be held in Richmond, December s-12. 1914. There will be assembled at the convention the lead ing authorities on industrial and voca- tional education from the entire Uni ted States, who will study and pass up- on the proposals, and recommend those forms of education which it is believed will be, to Richmonds ad-. vantage to carry out.
 s'The great value of this plan to Richmond" declares Dr. w. T. Baw- den, of the U. S. Bureau of Educa- ton, '9is that it brings to focus on it's special problems the best thought on these subjects in the country, while to those in attendance at the convention it offers an opportunity to study live problems at first hand in a compre- hensive manner, and to obtain many suggestions which will be- of great value in the consideration of special problems in other communities"

share toward making the new rules
success. He said he had the full
lest confidence in the men: he knew
that at least ninety-tive per cent.
were anxious to live up to the rules
and would see to it that the special
privileges were not abused. He said
that those who do respect the rules
will not be made to suffer from the
actions of those who do not, but that
those who persist in violating will
be deprived of every privilege. For
instance, any person being reported
for an infraction and not excused,
will have their privileges taken away
for one week for each offense; and
no third grade men will be permit
ted to participate in any of them.
So it will be seen. that from now on,
il will pay more than ever before,
for each inmate to be careful not to
step beyond the dead line.
When the Warden finished speak
ing every man and woman in the
auditorium wanted to cheer, and the
way they gave vent to their feelings
left no doubt that every body gladly
accepted the privileges under the
conditions imposed; each fully re.
solved to do his share to make the
new rules success in every par
ticular.
Third Grade Men Advanced
In order that all the inmates may
participate in the advantages afford
ed by the new rules. and start out
anew on even footing, the third
grade men have all been taken out
of stripes and advanced to the Sec
ond grade with all privileges re-
| stored.
This step was taken Monday. and
it came as a general surprise to
everybody. There had not been the
least intimation given that anything
of the kind was contemplated, and
when Deputy Warden Sullivan call
ed the twenty-six men in stripes up
from the dinner table aud marshaled
them into the tailor shop. every
body wondered what was on the
tapis, but when the order was given
to change to khaki uniforms there
were smiles and great rejoicing.
The Deputy explained to the
men the object of restoring their
grade and privileges, and made it
plain that everything depended upon
their own conduct whether they
would again be reduced. 1t is the
first time in the history of the lnstl-
tuition that any action of this kind
has been taken; and it is certainly
appreciated not only by the third
grade men themselves. but by the
entire shut-in colony.
Put Into Effect at Once
The new rules became effective
Immediately. and on Sunday the in.
mates enjoyed eating their dinners
with the strains of sweet music float
ing DER their heads, furnished by
the orchestra which was stationed
on the balcony. The talking privi-
lege was enjoyed by all, and in not
single instance was there an at
tempt made to violate the conditions.
On Tuesday afternoon the first
moving picture show was given, the
shops all shutting down at 4:45
o'clock. The men we're served with
supper in the dining hall at 5 p. M,
afterwhich they marched to the
Auditorium where the movies were
enjoyed for an hour and half. The
same order of things will be carried
out every Tuesday and Friday.
On Saturday. all shops will cease
work at $3.50 p. M, and the rest of the

penal institution in the world ever
uttered words that brought so much
joy to the hearts of inmates as those
of Warden Henry Wolfer, in his re-
marks on Decoration day. brought
to the inmates of the New Minnesota
state prison. Certainly never in the
history of this prison have SO many
bars of discipline been lowered at
one time, or so many privileges been
granted to the imprisoned men.
And they came so suddenly and
unexpectedly, it took all the boys off
their feet for the time being; but
they recovered quickly enough to
show their appreciation and enthusi-
asm by making the auditorium ring
with such applause as the walls had
never echoed before.
Prior TO the performance of
Back to the Farm" the Warden
briefly stated that during the show
the silence rule would he lifted and
that the inmates might converse
quietly with those sitting beside
them; being careful however, not to
talk loud enough TO disturb the play.
or so as to annoy those about them.
He also stated he would have some
thing further to say at the close of
the performance. The concession
was greeted with applause. and as
the play proceeded the boys enjoyed
the efforts of the actors all the more
because they might comment upon
the various scenes with those near
them.
The Warden's Address
At the conclusion of the last act
the Warden appeared on the stage
and briefly outlined the changes in
rules that will henceforth govern the
inmates of the prison. He stated
that new conditions warranted new
methods; that these new conditions
had not existed prior to the COM
pletion of the new prison, and that
consequently the new rules he
proposed to adopt would have Eeen
impossible under the conditions and
facilities available heretofore. He
admonlshed his hearers that the sue
cess or the failure Of the special
privileges about to be granted, de-
pended entirely with the men in the
institution; that if they showed by
their demeanor that they were Ca
pable of enjoying these privileges
without abusing them. they would
be adopted permanently but if they
did not, those who could or would
not confine themselves within the
privileges, would suffer by being de-
MED the right to enjoy them.
To begin with,'' said the Warden,
hereafter the inmates will be priv
ileged to talk with the men sitting
next to them on either side in the
dining room on Sundays and holi-
days; and upon all such occasions,
the prison orchestra will furnish
music during the meal hour"
We will have a moving picture
show twice a week-not in the even
ings, but in the afternoon, work in
the various shops being suspended
to permit all to attend and enjoy
the shows
And besides this we will have
baseball and athletic sports every
Saturday afternoon, and later in the
year perhaps we will inaugurate
foot ball, and meet some of the crack
teams from the outside. During
these games," said he. the inmates
may enjoy them to the full, with
privilege to root for the the play
ers in the usual way"
After outlining these concessions,
the Warden made it plain that he
