Sport Editor, EVENING JOURNAL:
STATE HOUSE, DOVER, Del,
March S-As a result of recent in
quiry by Speaker Grantland, Repre-
sentative Hill and Representative FL
liott into the financial condition OF
New Castle county. Chairman Hill, of
the revised statutes committee. today
submitted a report in which they rec
commended that no county salaries be
increased, that no bond issues by New
Castle county be authorized and that
S172OO0 be borrowed by issue of two
certificates of indebtedness, the money
10 be used to meet the county's de-
mands until October 10, when the
taxes begin to pour IN, and also to
pay outstanding Indebtedness. pay
salaries and refund bonds. The re-
port submitted by Representative Hill
is as follows:
"The committee on revised statutes,
upon the recommendation of the COM
mittee selected from its membership
to make inquiry into the financial
condition of New Castle county rela-
tive to bills introduced, the passage of
which would increase the bonded in
/ debtedness of the county, and to other
measures calling for an increase in
| the salaries of deputies and clerks in
| the county Offices, would respectfully
! report that they have reached the
/ following conclusion:
First In view of the fact that
( the bonded Indebtedness of New Cas-
! tie county has been considerably in
/ creased during the past two years
: by bonds issued for the purpose of
erecting the joint county and city
! buildings and the new Third street
l bridge (both of which operations are
/ still under way) il would seem mad
! vieable at the present time to author
/ ize the issuance of any more bonds.
Second. Having in mind the con-
dition of the finances of the said
county and realizing the number of
men who arc either out of work or on
short time who will have the moneys
to pay through taxation, it would
hardly be wise to authorize any in
crease of salaries, no matter how de-
serving the claims for such may ap-
pear to be.
Third The absolute necessity OF
the Legislature providing for the relief
of the financial stringency of the said
county leads Us to recommend that pro.
vision be made for the issuance of two
certificates of indebtedness, one of said
certificates 70 be issued for the sum OF
eighty-two thousand dollars, to DC is

there is as much punishment in the first night

in the mines.
The girls have somewhat similar experience
broken families, neglect, battered around the
world, victimized by human wolves they often
look upon the states care the only touch
of kindness they remember in their lives.
Because of these conditions each inmate of
the institutions for the younger generation in
mates must be handled as individual. No
hard and fast rule can be laid down for dis
charge or parole. One 1S-year-o1d boy with
a good home, fine Christian parents, forged
small check and was sentenced to the Re
formatory. The district judge wrote a letter
a few days later asking that he be paroled.
The boy away from home; he claimed
that his employer owed him for wages but
would not pay him. He was desperately home
sick and tried to get his money. The judge
explained that he did not understand the story
or he would have paroled him from the bench
1t would have been cruelty to have refused
the father who to plead for his son and
to have kept the boy for one two years in
the institution. In other cases young men
have led such life of recklessness that moth

These girls, boys, young men and mature
men and women cost the state S45O,OOO every
year. not to mention the loss through their
removal from productive occupations nor the
expense incurred in legal proceedings. There
formed-the Irvine mill and coal mine at the
penitentiary, farming operations and minor in
dustries at the other institutions-except for
this they are a dead load charged to the tax
payers
The popular idea is that the states problem
is to protect society and to visit punishment
for deterrent effect others, with such re-
making of the inmates for good citizenship as
may be possible. Actually, its first problem is
how so to safeguard its rising generation that
there shall be a decrease in the number of
inmates; its second is how best to restore those
now in custody to society," the other duties
come after these.
A criminal career seldom breaks out sud
denly. 1t is a growth. The boys and girls
sent to our institutions rarely are there for
first ofenses. Mostly they have been bad boys
and girls; the town marshal has reprimanded
them; the probate judge has struggled with
them, finally running with the gang" they do

see the world in right perspective. The truth
is that many inmates better fed, wearing
cleaner clothes, and are caring for their bodies
more intelligently than in years. They have
kept irregular hours, used cigarettes, drank
and wasted their lives. One or two years of
discipline may instill ideas of right living that
will stay with them when they go out.
The statute allowing judges to parole from
the bench results in much good Our district
judges as whole it with intelligence and
in a spirit of helpfulness. Some in particular
make it hand maid of justice in manner
that saves to the world valuable lives and they
deserve the commentator OF the public tor

Just as woman's path is harder than
mans so is the girl offender burdened with
greater trial than her brother. She, too, has

she must face the difficulties-in-

with her. "This is the only home | ever had

Only twelve Kansas women are in the peni-
tertiary. 1t is striking commentary on the
relative behavior of the sexes that there are
100 girls and women and 1432 men and boys
in custody. The penitentiary population in
c1udes almost every condition of race, culture,
development, mental ability and physical at
tainment. Between the brutal degenerate and
the well-educated courteous inmate, perhaps
former community leader, is every phase of
humanity. The prison must make its inmates
obey make them work, teach them their let
tiers if they are ignorant, and if possible turn
them out fit instead of misit specimens. 1t is
some job.
Two schools of prison management for
arguing to methods. One believes that
the prisoner should be given every possible
freedom of action, that he is merely human
animal morally sick and can be cured by kind
and confidence. The other makes dis
cip1ine its keynote. 1t holds that the prisoner
needs chiefly to learn that there laws for
the protection of society that must be obeyed
and that the way to learn this is by obeying
strict rules in the institution. The truth lies
somewhere between the two extremes and the
individual factor is always to be con-
sidered. Binet tests show a low measure of
mental development. Children of ten to thir-
teen years they are, Continued page
