tioa Is going to cost many Ameri-

mended to General Funston that a
squadron of eight aeroplanes, now at

are necessary. The very appearance of the men
speaks for itself. The slouching gait is gone. the
prison palor Is the hunted look in the face and
the resuess eyes are gone The prisoners do
the drugs. The daily recreation. the baseball and
swimming, the freedom of conversation the general
relaxation from the severe old rigidity has brought
about totally different physical condition When

Therein lies precisely that of conscience
Just that practice in discrimination between right and

souls and patiently form standards.

crime seems like mere piece of boys play do not

The aim OF the Welfare League is to remove that
resentment. We do not coddle the prisoners The
welfare League system aims to train him in natural
and lawabiding habits; teaching him how to use
rather than abuse his liberty.
, There Is no intention of making prison pleasant
NO prison can ever be made There can be nothing

The remedy is at hand.

The remedy is at hand.
The older systems have failed. There are approxi.
maely 5000 serving sentences in State prisons in
New York today or these, 5000 are serving second
third and fourth terms Obviously IL sixty per
cent OF prisoners are not bettered by fail some
thing Is wrong with the Jail.
The old systems failed because the problem of
crime is primarily neither mental nor a physical
problem, but moral one No man can be reformed
except hi8 conscience be quckened: unless there be
established, either consciously or unconsciousy
natural and healthy relations between the criminal and
society between the sinner and God. The successful
prison system must approach the problem from the
spiritual side; aiming to solve it by making men
FEEL right.
The Mutual Welfare League-the prisoners own
organization-having It's origin in the suggestion of
convict and formulated and put In PRACTISE by the
inmates OF Auburn prison In the Winter OF 1914

form determined by local conditions intended to pro.
