K. G. Morley, proprietor of the ice
plant at McGehee, is the president OF
the commercial organization perfect

meeting of business men, and lsadore
Frdiedman is the treasurer, the selec-
ton of other officers having been al
lowed to&lie over until another meet

during the coming week.
Secretary E. B. Bloom of the Pine
Bluff chamber of commerce, return
ed Yesterday from McGehee, where
he spent, Friday and Friday night,
assisting in the organization OF the
body. Mr.. Bloom explained to the Nc
Gehee business men at their request
and invitation, the methods used by
the Pine Bluff chamber of commerce,
and started their credit rating bu-
reau for them. The McGehee peo-
pie expect to select a secretary with
in few days, being in correspondence
now with a trained secretary who is
posted on freight rates and matters
of that kind.
Mr.. Bloom stated that the business
men of McGehee made plain their
friendship for Pine Bluff during his
stay there, particularly in the talks
made by the leading merchants at
the mass meeting Friday night. Good
roads will be one of the features of
the work of the new organization, he
said, this having already been an
nounced by the men back of the new

Other courses were as wide as the
world - craftsmanship, banking,
gardening, dietetics, mathematics,
bookkeeping, zoology, engineering.
No less than ESQ prisoners were tax
ing work in this university school,
sending in their papers and receiv-
ing back the corrections and the sug-
gestions of the university professors,
those who have the various subjects
in charge.
"Thus more than half the entire
prison poplaetion-there were 2,433 at
roll call the morning | was there
are touched more or less by this
educational enterprise. 1t is great
boon for these men who have some
thing to occupy their minds during
the solitary hours when they are
locked in their cells. 1t gives them
hope-it prepares them better for re-
turning to society; it prevents the
ferments and plots and revenges that
would otherwise occupy their
thoughts. Certainly the half of the
convicts who take this mental work
will need less of armed guards walk
ing their beats, and certainly fewer
of them will return to prison again
twenty per cent of the whole popula-
ton, remember are 'repeaters.'
"The experiment is so new how
ever, that the warden refuses to draw
any deductions or prepare any salts
tics touching these points. Time for
that later he says.
"In the meantime, many crlmlnolo-
gists are coming from other states to
study and often to adopt these plans.
Oregon. Washington and Arizona are
among the number. The striking
points of the system are:
81. The whole prison population is
given educational opportunity. 1t
would be quite impossible to get such
large numbers of men into school,
physically and financially. In this
case, the school is carried into the
solitary cell, where it is most needed.
SO. The men must take their edu-
cation in addition to their labor. They
cannot pretend to 60 to school to get
cut of work. They take it of their
own accord, after doing their penance
in the jute mill or the factory for the
day.
"3. All classes of men and women
there are So women on the rolls
are provided for: illiterates. elemen-
tary grades, high school and uni
versity."
