MANY JOBS FOR Ex-coNvIcTs
Eastern Writer Finds Remarkable
Change Has Taken Place In
Employer Attitude.

A year ago hardly anyone seemed to
want to give the released prisoner a
Job. A year followed of Mr.. Osborne
and good times. and the great change
has come. Today the special employ
ment secretary of the Prison Assocla-
ton of New York says he is able to
refute the statement frequently made
that discharged prisoners are return
ing to crime because nobody will hire
them. o. F. Lewis writes In the Amer
lean Review Of Reviews. In July,
1916, he reported that every able
bodied man that applied during the
month Of June, and was willing to
work and take what was found for
him, was placed within few days.
Wages ran. from SO to $50 a week.
One ex-prisoner writes that he Is
getting $1S week as bookkeeper and
general clerk. and Is going to repay
the expenses betrayed in my behalf"
Another of the gray brotherhood says
that he has suffered" an increase in
salary and that he is not ''kicking
about the Saturday afternoon holiday
that has been dispensed with"
Goodwill towasd the released pris-
oner is spreading. Hundreds of New
York merchants were asked last win
ter to give employment to men just out
of prison. A manufacturer, having
taken five men, telephoned into the Of
fee. saying that the men were doing so
well that he wondered If they had not
given false statements as to having
had a prison record for the purpose of
securing positions.
The surge in the prisoners behalf is
not confined to any one state Henry
Ford has at least 600 released prison
ers In his works at Detroit. Miss
Katherine B. Davis, chairman of the
parole commission of New York city,
has been organizing the relief societies
of the city into cooperative agency
for finding employment for men and
women coming out of the city prisons.
The men at Sing Sing and Auburn pris-
ons are establishing branches of the
Mutual Welfare league outside the
prisons. In another state a new relief
society has been organized by a man
formerly in prison. In Kansas the
prisoners are planning a cooperative
bureau. Many other instances might
be cited.

A MIGHTY, CONCERTED
MOVEMENT IN FLORIDA
10000 to Be Added to the Sunday
Schools in One Day

February 18th will this year be
known as Statewide "Go-to-Sunday-
School Day" in Florida.
Practically every State south of
the Ohio and east of the Mississippi.
including a number west of the river
will make the same effort en- this
day. The second Sunday in Febru-
airy is to be the day every year
when everybody everywhere is to
make a concerted. universal effort
to bring men, women and children
into the Sunday schools of our
Southland. Florida agreed to this
move when, at the last State con-
vention in Lakeland, it was unani-
niously voted that this State join
, with the others In this general OBJ
servance.
This movement is wholly inter-de.
nominational, embracing every evan
gelical church and Sunday school in
the entire State. A mighty impetus
should be thus secured. Added to
this statewide movement will be the
power and influence of ell the ad-

vertising and agitation in all the
South. Florida at the present time
has perhaps $4,000 pupils enrolled
upon her Sunday school books. There
Is an average attendance of perhaps
$4,000. The purpose of this go-to-
Sunday-attendance of perhaps 65,.
900. The purpose of this go-to-
Sundayschool-day is to increase this
attendance that day to over 1876, 900.
This is the second such day OBJ
served in this State. The first day
was observed over year ago, name
1y. Oct. 3, 1915. At that time the
Florida Sunday School Association
inaugurated the first Statewide
move. Governor Trammell endorsed
1t with Statewide proclamation.
and everywhere efforts were made to
get people into Sunday schools. AS
a result. the reports coming to the
State Office indicated that those
schools which observed the move had
increased their attendance from %
per cent to more than 200 per cent.
Thousands of pupils were held per-
manently for the schools all over the
State.
The Statewide day was not OBJ
served in 1916, owing to the fact
that this State desired very much to
celebrate a uniform day with the
balance of the South. and at the re,
cent conference of the South's Gem
eral Secretaries in Sunday school
work in Atlanta, the second Sunday
in February became the uniform and
mutual day.
The Florida Sunday School Asso-
citation is issuing a splendid program
for the day. This program will he
calculated to add dignity to the oc-
,casion, and to give much needed in
formation to all schools which will
use it. This program, put I'D in at
tractive form, will be sent in suf-
lclent numbers to any school desir-
ing same.
In the city of Jacksonville. this
day will be further emphasized nv
the special campaign now on for
5000 men. Much interest is being
developed in the metropolis towards
this end, and it is confidently hoped
that even more men will b eadded tn
the schools of that city than the
goal set.
The Office of the State Sunday
School Association reports that there
is much need in the State for this
movement. There are many counties
which have only a few Sunday
schools, and a very meager number
of people attending. Available sta.
tistics show that some counties have
less than 5 per cent Of their white

population in Sunday schools. Other
counties report absolutely no Cradle
Rolls nor Home Departments. and
some even report no organized Bible
classes. In many sections of the
country the Sunday school spirit is
at low ebb, and movement such
as is now being planned, if of sniff
cient intensity, ought to sweep these
ealmer counties into the column of
strenuous activities.
IL is hoped in this county large
enorts will be made for this dav
and that our ministers will preach
special sermons along this line at
the public services Feb. II.
