Prison Monitor suspends publication, TIVE
Monitor has been edited, published and
printed by and for the inmates of the
Vermont State prison" and has reflected
credit on all concerned. In his valedictory
Editor Hugh L. Collins says: with this
issue, The Prison Monitor will suspend
publication indefinitely. This is necessary
owing to the very high cost of everything
and the hardship placed upon the country
by the war. Probably, when the war is
over, the Monitor will again spread its
wings, but We cannot place any degree Of
certainty upon this statement as the end
of the war looks to be long way Off in
the future"
