HELPING UNFORTUNATEs.

Howard L. HindIey. who writes very
interestingly to the Rutland Herald OF
his extensive "percgriuations' about the
state. says probably the annual report OF
r. II. Walker of the state prison will
show that all records for honor en-
rlovment of state prisoners on ''outside
~" have been broken the past year.
g.. addition to a gang of prisoners en-
we'd on the road job in Bridgewater
the Nance corporation in Windsor has
pmnloved a large number of men in con
<tIuction work and a first-class team has
hoen working on the prison farm and
...1tivating an extensive garden. All the
g.. nnon labor on the new wing to the
prison buildings has been performed by
:'o prisoners Superintendent Walker
reports that the prisoners have earned
a total of sol .GO5.96 the past year and
.nqt e13.O03.71 Of this sum has been

geo Of man,inoss in those serving a pc
nal sentence. 1t is a great change from
- prison methods aud certainly pays
... Ssate financially and gives a much
richer compensation in moral improve
uent among the prisoners. Instead of
impressng the unfortunate with his un-
worthiness it demonstrates to him his
ability to make an honest and honorable
living.
Recently W. II. Jeffrey, state proba-
ton officer and secretary of the state
board Of charities. read to the meeting
Of the state association of social work
ers an account of his work among the
unfortunate children Of the state. Eigh-
ty-five of the children committed to the
board have been placed in free homes,
20 are being boarded in approved homes
and go left temporarily with their par
ents or relatives OUtside this the de
partment has given surgical and med
zeal care to Il defective children and
some of them have been transformed
from unidentified and crippled beings
facing a life of hclplessness and bur
den to normal childhood. One hundred
and fourteen children who have not been
committed to the care of the board have,
under its direction, had surgical care
either at home or in hospitals and not
one of these children lost its life in the
operations necessary. The secretary
says: "AIl the children above indicated
have been greatly benefited or entirely
restored to normal physical condition"
This work has been done with a state
appropriation of $4,000 a year and
with funds contributed by charitable peo-
pie to the Horace F. Graham fund.
We submit the foregoing constitutes
good record for the state in the care and
treatment of its unfortunates. The
work is the expression of better Yer
mont that is instilling manhood into
those convicted of crime and putting
sunshine into the lives of the little I'M
fortunates who have not had fair start
in life. The great good accomplished
among the unfortunate of the state in
dicates the possibilities of development
of the better and more promising ele-
ments of Vermont life.
