An Appeal to Honor

IN The intensely interesting address |
given before the Chamber of Com
merce Monday night by Judge John |
+. Weeks of Middlebury, chairman of
the state penal board, the statement
was made that five OF the six domi- !
tories at the Industrial Home at Yer
gennes were kept unlocked day and
night. Thus the boys were put upon
their honor to stay where they were
put. Only at rare intervals is the trust
in them betrayed One incident was
related showing that a boy who was in
one Of these open dormitories asked
that he might be changed back to the
only one which was kept locked. He
later ran away, and was brought back,
and, on his way back, nuggled up to
Mr.. Barass and told him that the reas-
on he asked TO be changed from the
open dOrmitOry was that he had made
| up his mind to run away, and that he
did not want to bring disgrace upon
| the other boys rooming in the open
| dormitories. Needless to say. a boy
who has thato much :, of honor rrin his
| y
standards aud finally, be sent forth
from the institution fitted for a useful
| career in HE, Instance after instance
Sas related showing that the work OF
the Industrial school. as it is now con
Quoted, is taking the boys and girls as
they are sent there and so instilling
into them right ideas and ideals as to
send them forth to lives OF success and
usefulness. And the work which is
done at Windsor in treating the In
mates as human beings rather than as
criminals, and as looking for the best
rather than for the worst in them
Judge Weeks represented as bearing
abundant fruit. II was the persona
touch and the individual interest IN
them as men and women that accom-
plished the transformation. The ideals
of the Christian men in charge o.
these institutions. and OF the superyis
ing Penal board have done more thar
will ever be known this side of enterni
ty to give heart and hope to the unfort
innate, and help them, when released

HEALTH LECTURE

DR.. w. A. Picker. Of the Bureau OF
Vital Statistics, gave the sixth OF his
health talks at noon yesterday to the
men of the Chesapeake and Ohio
shops under the auspices of the Rail-
road Y. NJ. c. A, on Studies From
Vital Statistics as to the Prevention OF
Diseases. He took as hts subject The
Insect Borne Diseases" and showed
that the germs of malaria and yellow
fever are carried from the sick to the
we'll persons by the mosquito, and
any community by using precautions
which will prevent the breeding of
mosquitoes. That can be done by
drainage of swamps and stasnant
streams. or by the use Of petroleum
oil. which will kill the larva or
'wiggletail.' which afterwards de-
yelops into the mosquito. Each house
hold should protect its own premises
by care as to empty cans, bottles. etc,
being scattered around, which will
hold sufficient water to serve as a
breeding place. knowledge of this
fact alone enabled the United States
to dig the Panama Canal, where the
French. without it. failed
American surgeons and Red Cross
nurses, who went to Servia sometime
ago, by teaching those poverty stricken
people that the body lice were the
cause of the terrible plague Of typhus
fever, and by aiding them to rid them
selves from them, drove that disease
from the country.

terrible Of all human scourges. reach

ties and United States public health
mon would Immediately enter upon a
warfare for the determination of rats.
We know that the feas leave the
bodies of rats, diseased and dead from
that disease, and carry the germs to
human beings. We should not wait
for such a scourge. but enter upon a
systematic warfare against rats and
