down and out class, or the class OF
hibitual criminals For many years there
have been a few men and women OF
large sympathies who have recognized
this condition and more recently few
such socities as the Society For the
F'riendless have taken up a portion OF
this burden in practical and rational
ways. but it is in very recent years
; that the state has recognized this IS
one of its obligations. This duty is
recognized by our state in the law just
quoted and that work of helping men
to re- establish themselves is the big.
useful and practical work the board of
parole is trying TO do.
Parole For Two. Thirds.
Out of the 800 or more who annual
ly come into our two institutions un-
der the indeterminate sentence the
board is able TO parole 200 of them.
The board has constantly on parole
about 200 and is constantly adding to
the list and the list is being taken from
by those who have successfully COM

charged, as we'll as by those who fail
to be sen, back or who abscond. From
6e to 20 per cent succeed on parole and
are duly released.
Before a man is paroled the board
have become well acquainted not only
with his crime but acquainted with his
past life. with his character, nature
and habits and when ready to go out
they consult him as TO the employment
he prefers and is most capable Of en-
gaging in. and the place of employ
ment he prefers, and taking these
things into account he is placed in the

of parole is his friend. and tries to
make him feel as tho il IS standing be-
tween him and his employer if there is
trouble. finding him a new job if he
loses the first one, requiring him to
follow the general rules of morality
and helping him to get his feet on
solid ground again 50 he may have
some chance in the race of life"
The speaker then discussed some of
the defects of the parole system. On
this phase he said in part:
Il think the system can be improved.
The board is not SO dead sure it is
right on every point that it is not will
ing TO change a plan for a better one.
AT this time it is revising its rules
and making several important changes.
To my mind there are several OBJ
stacles that impede the administration
OF the indeterminate sentence and pa
role law. Some OF them are gradually
being removed. and possibly all will be
in time. One is the lack of under
standing of the system by the public
and the consequent opposition"

CITY WINS DAMAGE SUIT.

Montezuma- Nov. 22.-An instructed
verdict for the city OF Grinnell was
returned in the case brought by W. H.
Wolford. in which he asked for dam
ages to his automobile. Lack of show
ing that the city was negligent; that
1t had any knowledge OF defective
condition, if any existed: the fact as
shown by the evidence that the man
hole had been graded up and If there
was any defect it was due to ordinary
wear the admission of the plaintsff
that he had not had the registry num-
Der of his car transferred to him, thus
making him a tresspasser upon the
streets, were some of the grounds of
the motion. NO evidence was offered
by the city.
The outcome of the case was inter-
esting in view of the fact that the city
offered to confess judgment for $25e
before the trial commenced. which
offer was refused 1t was asserted that
tho case would be appealed.

What Causes tuberculosis.

DR.. John North of Toledo. O., IL
working on the theory that tubercu-
losis may be due to a lack of lime
in the system, as he says that while
tubercular germs are everywhere, they
only thrive in ripe soil and just what
is lacking in persons subject to tuber-
cular trouble gives food for thought.
He says that there is less tuber-
culosis among people living in arid re-
gions and plants in such places have
more lime In their composition than
those growing in humid regions.

Psychology Of Practice.

The question of short versus long
periods of practice in training the hui
mar muscles for any particular kind
of work is obviously one having far
reaching application. Some interest
ing experiments on this subject have
been carried out by DR.. K. 8. Lashley
Of Johns Hopkins university. Acquisi-
ton Of skill in archery was selected
as the subject Of observation. Twenty
unframed persons were divided into
three groups. One group shot five
arrows with the English longbow per
day; another, twenty shots per day;
and the third, forty shots. The re.
suits showed conclusively that the
group shooting only five times a day
improved in accuracy with less ex-
penditure of time in practice than was
required by either of the other groups
for the same amount of improvement.
A report on the experiments says:
"The relatively greater efficiency of
short periods of practice continuing
for many days is in accordance with
the results of the study Of animals
and of speech habits in man, and in
dicates that in training to muscular
feats, in both animals and man, the
length of practice periods required Is
usually too great for maximum eff
f1ciency."-Scientific American.
