piled, "but do know that the indi-

ment; just as every boy is made to
learn that when he puts indigestible
food into his stomach he must expect

finds out that if he puts his hand on

natures punishment, and l believe the
reformatory should administer its pun
ishment in the same way. This does
not mean that favor brutality. I would
call mere detention in a reformatory

However, we can no more eliminate
it than we can eliminate pain. There
was a darby once who could feel no
pain in his feet. One day while sitting
before an open fire he fell asleep. His
feet slid into the fire and began to burn.
There was no pain to wake him. so his
feet burned on till the odor of burning
flesh became strong enough TO arouse
him. Punishment should follow just as

have deep roots. Why is it that the
women in the home want to get out land
the women out of the home want to get

been deprived Of home and children
will tell you they are more important
than her wonderful career, but consider
this fact well: What a happy, contented

been permitted both families and
careers! They are our finest specimens
OF womanhood and arc monuments of
proof that what women need Is a home
and job-both to their liking. And,
come to think Of it, that seems to be- the
VTlpe for making happy men, too!
Can't we see that. being a man or, a
woman does not matter except biolooi-

lack OF experience; you men would never

NN SUNDAY, December 20, we

ing statements by David S.

tie Thieves" Murder" etc, on re-

"That the reformatory does not re-

eve are spending millions annually
on reformatories that not only fail to
reform the boys sent to them, but, ac-
cording to the majority of those who
have made deep study of these nsl-
tutions, actually breed criminals, harden
those who have acquired criminal habits
and by contact spread the diseases to
those who never had them. A very
large percentage of the boys in re-
formatories were sent to the institution
not because of any crime that they COM
mitted, but only because their homes
seemed to lack the proper kind of
guardianship. Add to this the fact that
the average reformatory admits that
half the boys released fail to make
good, and you can realize what 5est-
houses these reformatories are.
