Prof. Egbert Asks Educators to
Provide Prisons With
Teaching Stats.
NEW REFORMS ADVOCATED

Prof. James c. Egbert, director ~
the extension teaching department and
the summer session OF Columbia I'M
versity. proposed yesterday at a con-
ference on Common Sense and the Con-
vict." conducted by the educational COM
Prisons and Prison Labor at the home
Of Mrs. John II. Flagler. North Brook
Farm. Greenwich. Conn. that each prison
should have an educational director who
can choose his stan from within and
without the prison walls and selec, the
system OF education and subjects needed
in any special case.
THE part our universities can take
in this splendid field Of phllanthropic en-
deavor is not small Prof. Egber said.
They can provide trained specialist
who can study the problems involved
they can equip teachers for this special
field. who In turn can teach those OF the
inmates who are competent to serve IN
this respect. and. finally. they can sup
ply teacher from their own ranks II
necessary. How wonderful the oppor-
tunity to render service to the State ~
thus bringing educational privileges tc
those whom the State must keep in con
fincment. but to whom. nevertheless. Il
owes the duty Of humane and kin lily
care"
DR.. Hastings Hart OF the Russell SAG
Foundation urged upon the commit a.
reformatory methods for the county
tails.
The evils OF the Jail SYSTEM he said
ARE due to ignorance and to the radica'
error OF using the jails for two incon.
sistent purposes-the punishment Of
convicted offenders and tho safe deten.
ton of prisoners awaiting trial. The
remedy Is to remove the sentenced
prisoners. to use the jails only fol
prisoners awaiting trial. to segregste the
prisoners SO as to prevent %corrupting as.
sociations. to place all prisons under
State control n management. and &c
train Jail officers in reformator,
methods"

Of correspondents OF The Commercial

SAYS TEA DANCES
BREAK UP HOMES
Mrs. MOskOwitz Declares After
noon Affairs Are Worst
Kind Of All.
WILL CONTINUE CRUSADE

Tho afternoon tea dance is vitality
wrong and should be stamped out at
once. II wrecks the moral fibre. and
when It becomes a habit Is worse In
many respects than the drug habit"
Thus Mrs. Henry Moskowitz last
night described the new dances ~ they
are conducted In no Broadway trot-
,erles. The committee OF which she Is
an active member will meet tomorrow
and decide upon the course II Will follow
to stop the afternoon teas.
"New York goes from one extreme to
another" said Mrs. M~oskowits. ut Is
time TO call a little halt before many
more lose their heads In the mad whirl
OF this silly and absolutely mind and
moral wrecking vice.
Never before have young girls been
permitted such freedom in the manner
OF their amusements. The days of the
escort and the chaperon have suddenly
ceased and as II over night n new code
has come into popular favor-a sort or
free lance way.

or less disguised way Just as vile. There
are i'm these places OF alleged amuse-
ment and innocent sport characters IN
the guise OF fine clothes and sleek man
ners whose lives are OF the BLACKLIST
hue and whose purposes are 30 black
mail and exploit.
II know a young man OF prominence
whose wife has been carried on by
the false and base influence or these
affairs. She deliberately left a beau
tiful home n dear friends. Homes
have been broken up and ties have been
severed that seemed everlasting by the
dances, the thrill of them and the
wild lure to do wrong that they in
fuse in the minds of innocent victims.
Good cannot come OF any form Of dance
which r. not conducted on the s%trictest
conventional lines.
II have been most gratefully . n
! ~couraged by letters I a received
They convey startling information OF
the abuses OF the tea dance.
AS TO the propriety OF going to
dances In the afternoon, II Is to begin
with a waste of time that might be
spent to better advantage by youns
girls walking in the parks or In games
such as tennis. which tend TO strengthen
rather than weaken the physical nature
as the dances do.
As for decent young men who spend
their time at such dances I am sorry
for them. I cannot conceive Of al
ambitious young man idling away his
time in this way"
Mrs. Moskuwitx eaid she had no de.
sire 10 enter In a controversy Will
any one over the closing OF the Strand
Roof Garden. She said that she hat
been misquoted on the subject OF the
closing OF the place, n that sh'
did not mean 10 %insinuate anything re

SANE FOURTH

/ While most of US are generally ap
4 pr'eoiative of the tremendous gain Il
safety which has been secured to ou
children by the general ''sane Fourth
agitation, there are still some VIII,
bemoan 1.-The good old days" Tha
these latter shall not cause a relax
alton in our vigilance, it is we'll, eaef
year, to consider what ''the good ole
Fashioned Fourth used to cost in
lives and suffering.
The Journal of the American Medi
eel Association has carefully collected
and compiled facts concerning Fourth
OF July injuries for the past twelve
years. The gain shown by their tables
is most illuminating and encouraging
In 1908 there were AIT reported cases
of tetanus, or lockjaw, in 80 states; in
1914 there were cases in states. of
these 3 eases, were from blank-cart-
ridge injuries. Blank-cartridges have
been responsible for large majority
tetanus cases throughout the twelve
years. This fact should wipe out cele-
bration-use of blankcartridges either
by legal or parental authority.
Wisconsin is far ahead of many other
states in its freedom from Fourth of
July injuries of any nature-due in
large measure, no doubt, to intelligent
publicity given by Wisconsin newspa-
pers. OF the 23 injuries, with deaths,
reported from Wisconsin in 1914, 13
were due to firecracl1ers; l to firearms;
8 to powder and fireworks.
During the past twelve years, A.
7S6 persons [13 times the Wisconsin
national guard strength have been
killed or injured in the United States
Notwithstanding the great gains made
over early years of the twelve year
period, the Journal finds a relaxation
in law enforcement manifest in many
quarters during the past two years.
The article from which we have
quoted ends as follows: ITO kill out
right forty persons and to wound and
main l, ,466 others the 1914 figure is
not very fitting token of our thank
fulness for the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, signed over hundred years
ago! Is it not rather an acknowledge
rnent that in this country rowdyism
cannot be restrained, or that the only
way we can show our patriotism is by
years ago show plainly that these
evils can be entirely done away with
1t is hoped that city officials will con
tinue their prohibitive measures until
this desirable end is attained"
