given at this same council today was
that of Mrs. John B. Webb, of Glen
Ridge. N. j.. chairman Of the general
and Social Conditions. in which was as
suggested the establishment of clinic
in every center of population to study
and classify the criminal and delin-
quent and to ascertain the source of
criminality.
Reform of the Prison System was the
subject OF Mrs. Webb's address, in
which she set forth for discussion of
the members the chief questions to be
solved in reforming the criminal or
'remaking the delinquent into some
thing At for service In an honest and
intelligent citizenship.
The federation. Mrs. Webb said, was
committed by it's last biennial conven-
tion to participate in the movement
for the investigation and reorganiza-
ton of the prisons and jail systems.
This, she declared. though nation
wide movement, must necessarily be
the work of the individual states or
localities.
In suggesting course of study, Mrs.
Webb proposed the organization of a
archaeological clinic" in which, with
the aid of q physician and psychiatrist,
1t might be ascertained who is to
blame, the, criminal or the society that
made or allowed the conditions OF his
inheritapce and environment"
when IL comes to question of ac-
ton there is but one wise and efficient
course Tor the CLUBS TO folloW, SAID
Mrs Webb THAT is to cooperate
with national associations working In
the individual state. or with state and
local societies. The first step is always
Investigation. If conditions in the cor
rectional institutions in the state,
county or town are to be changed, first
accurately ascertain what those condi-
tions are. 1t is necessary to have ex-
pert aid in these Investigations. Then,
the conditions ascertained, get the
facts before the general public whose
favorable verdict is the condition of
the accomplishment of the reform"
