Sup't. Coughy
Gives Interesting Talk

More than a score of men and wo-
men listened to a very interesting
lecture at the home of Mrs Wallace
}. Mcdonald last Friday evening on
the subject of New jerseys Reforma-
tory for Women. Miss Coughy, the
superintendent of the institution, was
the speaker and she gave an enter
tanning and detailed account of the
schools work. 1t is situated on a
farm of several hundred acres near
Clinton and on it are two cottages
containing accommodations for forty
five inmates. Women offenders are
sent there, and not to States Prison
as in the past, every modern method
oil reform Is practiced and discipline
is enforced on very few occasions,
The women are given the freedom OF
the farm and there are no guards OF
officers to watch over them; the
honor system is in vogue and Miss
Coughy has great faith in its sue
cess. All the farm work, the carpen-
ter work, the plumbing, harvesting,
etc, is done exclusively by the wo-
men, the services OF the men being
used only for the plowlng. The wo-
men wear boomers and in addition
to their manual work engage III
athletic sports such as baseball, run
nlng, Jumping and tennis; they all ap-
pear contented and attempts at
escape are most unusual occurrences.
Miss Coughy said that their char
acters and temperaments undergo Re
markable changes for the better as a
result of the treatment and that
nearly all of those that have left he
institution are now leading good,
clean lives and are useful members
of society.
At the end of the talk those pres
ent asked questions and expressed
themselves as being delighted with
the meeting. Miss Coughy was given
a rising vote Of thanks at the sug-
gestion of Mrs. C. w. Blue, who Of

when the Mayor, in accordance with
the law, attempted to appoint the
present City Hall Custodian, Thomas
j. Wren, as a Deputy Director to MI.

it would be nice to have a deputy, but
he had leaning toward the present
clerk in the department, Mr.. Mark. h..

point that Director Merely can say

deputy in my department at all, even

MEMORIAL SUNDA US
IMPRESSIVE LESSON

Trinity Sunday this year was
peculiarly impressive one coming rs
it did on the nations day of memoir
ial for it's saviours.
The note of the day, as voiced from
the pulpits, was one of intense pa
triotism and expression of fealty to
that civilization which God had caused
to spring up in a virgin hemisphere
as last hope for the regeneration of
His misguided people.
''But let us beware lest by our
failure to be true to our high trust,
and by our easy slipping of the bur-
den, our mission be withdrawn, our
country slain. A hemisphere of hope
for all the world is ours to labor
for and cherish. Shall we evade the
call ?"
