have beheld whittier mountains, more
frequent glaciers, some of them hang

way Mt. Dewey's angular head climbs
skyward among its neighbors. Bur
row Creek opposite affords one of the
grandest series of cascades to be
seen anywhere in the world. And
from here our train climbs over the
spectacular White Pass by Saw Tooth

upper plains through which the Yu-
kon winds on it's 25OO mile journey
to Boring Sea.

gold. The approach to this basin is
by the tram up the mountain along
side the new mill at Thane or through
the wooded canyon with its stream
and waterfalls along a delapidated
corduroy road.
On Douglas Island much the same
kind of scenery is to be had by clam
bering up the trail back of Treadwell
to the upland regions just below the
mountains. Here the great ditch is
ready to discharge the water which it
has brought for eighteen miles from
the north end of the island. On this
plateau is the so-called prairie where
the most delicate wild flowers of all
varieties bloom in the late spring and
summer. The walking is easy follow

forest that oftens opens out to ad-
nit a gorgeous view of the mountains

North of Juneau the government
road leads out along the edge of the

The board opened offices in Co.um-
bia on June 1. Previous to that time
Mr.. Johnstone said he had been sent
to the national conference of chari-
ties and corrections in Baltimore
and about four weeks after the
offices were opened he was sent to
visit other states boards of charities
and representatives charitable and
penal institutions in Virginia. the
District OF Columbia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut and Indiana.
VISIT TO JAILs.
Mr.. Johnstone said further that
since his return from this trip he
and the assistant secretary of the
board had visited jails, chaingang
camps and almshouses in ~ different
counties.
"All this has been necessary to
learn what we are to look for" as
serted Mr.. Johnstone. 1--WE think
we have found out to some extent at
least. In fact, we have just placed
orders with the printers for various
forms to use in getting uniform data
from the different counties that will.
we believe, reveal to the board and
the state real conditions, so far as
inspections may be expected to do,
nd thereby point out the steps to be
aiken in the future
Mr.. Johnstone went Into some de-
tail TO explain how the agents of
the board had gotten and expected to
continue to get the facts they sought
in regard to social conditions in the
institutions in which the board was
Interested. The FIVE chief sources OF
this information, outlined by Mr..
Johnstone, were: Personal studies
OF the institutions by agents of the
board, quarterly reports from these
institutions in accordance with forms
provided by the board, from local
committees to visitors which the
board Is required to appoint in each
county, from personal studies of ins
mates in and out OF institutions by
agents OF the board, and, finally,
from individuals throughout the
state who write the board of needs
and problems that have come under
their personal observation.
Mr.. Johnstone predicted that th.
last named source of information
would grow in importance as the citi-
zenship of South Carolina realized
that there was state agency upon

Columbia State.

Columbia State.
Albert S. Johnstone, secretary OF
the State Board of Cahrities and Cor
rections, addressed the Joint meeting
OF the South Carolina Conference of
Charities and Corrections and the
Conference for the Common Good
on the work Of the new board which
has visitorial and advisory powers
over penal, charitable and correc-
tional institutions in South Carolina.
Mr.. Johnstone restated very clear
ly in his speech the attitude of the
State Board of Charities and Correc-
tons and its agents toward the Off
GERS in charge of institutions over
which the board has visitorial and
advisory powers. He told OF recciy-
ing letter from citizen of the
state in which the blessings of a
grateful citizenship were promised
the board if it would remedy existing
conditions regardless of any criti-
cism of those who have ONLY been
acting as vampires on a sleeping peo-
pie, Ignorant and Indifferent to all
else except the pap-spoon of public
office and its equivalents"
Mr. Johnstone declared that the
attitude suggested by the writer of
the letter from which he quoted was
exactly the opposite to that which
the State Board of Charities and Cor.
rections was following.
II ask you in all fairness what
right has sleeping people to rise
up suddenly and call their jailers,
their chaingang foremen, their aims
