MAKES PENITENTIARY
VERY PLEASANT PLACE
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRn.l

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 22.-"There's
spark of good in every man; the
blood will tell idea is bosh; if man
isn't thorough criminal he can be
trusted; normal men have honor and
they can be relied upon to a certain ex.
tent, some more, some less. !" Thus
prefacing an explanation of Ohio s new
"make man" policy, Warden P. E,
Thomas, the first expert criminologist
ever in charge Of ohio's famous old
penitentiary, today told the United
Press correspondent that the honor sys-
tenn among convicts is success War
den Thomas has experimental with the
honor system in Ohio little over a
year today. Here are few plain facts
about the system as explained by the
warden:
About 800 men are working in the
open air on their honor. A big per-
centage of the men are building roads
for the state. Guards aren't needed;
an overseer bosses the work. The lar
gest per cent Of "honor men" are life
termers. They wear blue overalls like
ordinary laborers and have Sunday
clothes They go to church on Sun.
days. They work eight hours a day.
They are paid five cents an hour; nine.
ty per cent goes to their dependents,
the rest to them. Less than one Per
per cent have tried to escape in year.
Honor men have all served from one
to fifteen years behind bars. One
prisoner who was recently sent out to
work con his honor" after sixteen
years behind bars, was badly frightened
by passing automobile. lie IS serving
life sentence for murder, "The long
term men are best, " said WardeI.
Thomas. And Warden Thomas is said
to know his men from "a to 2. "
"Criminals are classified in four diyi
sions," declares ohio's warden. "They
are the feeble minded, criminal by
choice; criminal by circumstances and
criminal by environment. The theory
chat blood will tell, like father like
son is all wrong. Men are good r.
three reasons, Those Of higher mental.
lity do right because il is right to do
right; second class do right through

through fear Of punishment " II ia
the first class and second divisions
from which Warden Thomas recruits
his honor men. Warden Thomas har
accomplished other things aside from
succeeding with his honor system. He
has eliminated stripes and substituted
a light eiey material for prison uni
forms. abolished inhuman punishments
such as water cures, chain stringingi
and vhippings; put into operation the

SAYS SEX TEACHING
IS BOUND TO COME
UNITED PRESS LEASED w1nn. !

Champaign, ILL.,, Jan. 22.--Sex hygiene
can never pe taught successfully in the
public schools until the minimum age
and wage Of the country girl school
teacher is raised, in the opinion Of
Prof, W. B. Miller, secretary Of the
school Of education Of the University
Of Illinois. Reviewing the recent ac-
tion of the Illinois State Teachers AS
sociation in voting to create a section
in the association for the "discussion
of moral and religious subjects" look
ing toward sex education, and the con-
trary action Of the Board Of Education
Of Chicago in voting out sex lectures
after four months trial, Miller declared
his belief that sex education eventually
must come, but that it probably will
have to be preceded by distinct pre-
liminary changes in the school system
"Of course, at the bottom of the
question lies the primary fact that the
parents ought to instruct their chill
dren, said Miller today, agreeing with
Governor Dunno aud other speakers
before the recent state teachers con
vention "But so long as they do not,
and there appears no likelihood that a
majority Of them will soon, the school
system ought to provide for such de-
gree Of the education as seems desir'
able. Just how far such education
shoald 60 will first have to be deter.
mined. 10 must be plain to every one
that any course in physiology and hy-
giene which entirely neglects the re-
sponsive or productive organs and func,
tions is incomplete. Educators must de-
eide to give boys and girls the same
knowledge of these organs and func'
tions as they do Of the heart or stomach
or eye.
"'Despite the unfavorable start made
in Chicago, it seems probable that a
few more years Of study and expert
mentation will develop the methods
best applicable to the city schools. But
country schools have peculiar diff
ficulty. In Illinois, for example, and
l believe the average Of states will
show the same condition, there are over
three thousand school teachers receiy'
ing salary of less than 5000 year
/ do not argue the merits Of higher
salaries here, but it is obvious that no
persons Of great experience and skill
in teaching or great tact in the handl
ing of children can be secured for this
salary. What is the facti Most Of
the teachers in the country schools arc
girls, barely past the minimum age
for teachers and with absolutely nc
experience beyond the grades or per
haps year or so of high school OF
normal work. II will never do to trust
the teaching Of tho sex problem t.
these girls. The blind should not lead
and the unleaned cannot be expected
to teach well.
"1t all means then, that there mus
be special training for teachers il
the sex course. II will come doubtles
with the general tendency toward bet
ter teaching Of teachers, through tn
enlargement Of normals and college
and university courses in education.
