OSBORNE, IN CITY,
HITS AT PRISONS
Tells Wharton School Students
Solitary Confinement Has
Proved to Be Failure
SEES UNDERWORLD MENACE

Solitary confinement as practiscd at
the Eastern Pcnitentiary here proved to
be a tragic failure"
Thomas Mott Osborne, former warden
of Sing Sing Prison and now in charge
of the Portsmouth naval prison, made
this statement in the course Of an ad
dress to 600 students at the Wharton
School at noon today.
lie said that solitary confinement as
conceived by certain religious sects was
all right. In that case, he pointed out,
the person could commune with God
and profess sorrow.
THE tragic experiment of solitary
confinement as carried on at the East
ern Penitcntiary showed that the es-
sence Of its failure is that the man
cannot go out Of his confinement once
he is repentant," Mr.. Osborne said.
THE great danger of the country to-
day comes not for bolshevism nor ngi-
tators, but from the lawless men of
the underworld. These men are framed
by society and its institutions to lead
criminal lives.
Our prison managements spend their
efforts in trying to keep the men within
the walls and to prevent them from es-
Gaping. But they do not prepare men
to come out of prison Men in our
prisons should be trained as mission
aries, to come out with the right idea,
and work for that idea in the under
world.
I'm prison thy have regulations and
laws which every prisoner tries to
break. When | was in prison serving
as convict 10 learn the convict's side
| made every effort TO smash every rule
| could"
Mr.. Osborne pointed with pride to
the Portsmouth naval prison, which
he termed "the prison without walls. +"
In two years and half, he said, only
eight prisoners were missing out Of
600.

Stephens Church lenten service.
~ don't agree with those who think
an unbaptized baby is little devil. y
said the minister, "nor do ] agree with

They are so much clay. exquisite. TO be

They are very like little monkeys, pigs

I'm shaping these little creatures first
into animal nature, then human, then
divine nature" continued Doctor

Doctor Stafford too. his text from
