idea of prison as a place of punishment Is fundamentally wrong; r. should be a place for correction. If we send a man to prison, only to turn him out
 more revengefu1 and more desirous of preytnx on society than when he went in, we have failed in our task Our concern is primarily with the protec- ton of society and our problem to find a means of sending out these prisoners with a desire to go straight.
 The Mutual Welfare league, based on the theories of the George Junior Republic, is one attempt to solve the problem. The prisoners. as far as pos- sible, discipline and rule themselves. Only by the daily exercising Of con- science and will can conscience and will be strengthened. Only by respon- sfbility and indictment to moral strug- gle can they gain comprehension.
 From his personal experiences in the prison at Auburn MT. Osborne spoke Of the effect of prison life. The wild and contempt of officials, the absorb ing desire to get even with anybody and everybody were only few of the moro obvious effects. Anything that can do away with this attitude of mind Is to be welcomed.
 Prison reform must begin with us in prison system. Reform Is not possible tn most of our prisons. We must make the first move and give them Q chance. We must produce favorable conditions IO& Dlen +0 A6dI Ino VO1C0 Ol S1OUs There's 6 tragedy under every gray coat to those who understand.
 Of those who have gone out from the Mutual Welfare league, only one per cent. have returned to prisons, as against SS per cent. under the old system.
 MT. Osbornss lighter touches were supplied by the stories, serio-cOmic in tone, and the glimpSes of the humorous sense displayed by many of his prison friends and co-workers. Many of the letters which he constantly receives contain also a keen sense of the loss sustained in living a life of crime and a yearntng to go straight. Let these men get started in the right way and they not only reform themselves but they go back to their old associates and spread their influence throughout their surroundings. The amount of real reform they accomplish is ast0t1- ishing.
 Tn general charge of the affair was Mrs. Edwin w. Higgins. She was as- sisted by the following committees:
 Menu--Adiss Mary E. Richards.
 Decorations and lMusic-tMrs. Charles ". Prentice and Mrs. Daniel S. Hav- Hand.
 Ushers - Miss Elizabeth Pullen, chairman: Mrs. J. Dana Colt Miss Mary Richards, Mrs. Edmund W. Perkins, Miss Louise lB. Meech, Mrs. Lucfus Briggs, Mrs. Edward Graham.
