Federal Prisons

During the war, it was stated that the govern
ment was too busy to occupy itself with the prison
question Since then, despite one scandal after
the other, things were supposed to have changed
for the better.
New comes another ''leak" about the federal
prison at Baltimore federal Inspector of Pri-
sons, investigated the Maryland Penitentiary and
found that the guards BLACKJACKED and BEAT
the prisoners.
To be sure Mr. Palmer did not want this in
formation to reach the outside world but news
has way of getting out. In addition to beating
the prisoners in a most brutal fashion, it was
stated that one cell ,hous was curowded with des-
perate criminals, which is contrary to regulations.
While the war was on prisoners at Leaven-
worth and Alcatrez learned what it meant to be

QUOTATIONS. WASTE.

The announcement that plan has
been worked ont by educators and en-
rloyers of trained men to eliminate ed
ucational waste sounds good The plan
in brief is for industry to specify in
definite order the training of young
mon that it requires and the number
of trained young men it can employ.
representatives of colleges will then
specify the extent to which they can
supply the demand Then the two in,
forests in cooperation will outline
methods for keeping the demand and
supply common knowledge between the
two. ,pff.1, III
1t would seem as if this plan might
not only eliminate educational waste
but considerable portion of education
itself. A college course in the past
has been considered general prepare
ton for life by the development of in
telectual faculties and training the
mind for consistent and persistent
work. The first question is how far
will the training and development of
the mind be sacrificed in the new
method of education? If the college
1 curriculum of the future is to be con-
fined to technical training for definite
| industries much educational work will
be lost and the country may have more
/ 81 -
of colleges to properly do this will be
SO expensive that it may constitute q
greater educational waste than now ex
lists.
Another question is, Can the col
ieges educate for practical work to The
best advantage? The most efficient ed
ucation in industry is acquired in act
ually doing the work, the demonstra
ton of theoretical knowledge in con
crete form. Training in this line il
a college must be paid for becaus,
there Is no commercial production t.
cover the expense of the instruction
In an industrial plant the learner take
part in actual production and receive
compensation for his work. For thi
reason he can better afford to ente
the plant than to enter college. /
remains for the colleges to demonstrat
they can offer the best and most eco
nomical preparation for industrial worl
For these reasons one is inclined t
ask: Will the colleges actually elm
mate educational waste or will they onl
produce another form of it?

College men looking for real jobs for
the vacation months would do well to
consider the offer of Kansas. This
year Kansas needs about 10000 men
from other states, in addition to her
own supply, to harvest her wheat crop.
This is about $4,000 fewer than she
needed last year, but it is goodly
number, and the state free employ.
ment bureau is already on the lookout
for workers..
During the height of the season the
hours are long and the work hard. But
there are compensations. Kansas farm
ers are offering to pay 20 cents an
hour and to furnish three good meals
a day, lunch and a good bed to sleep
in. The harvest season in the northern
part of the Kansas wheat belt begins
about June 20 and lasts through July
r. 1t is followed by two or three
months of threshing. Hours are shorter
then, but the pay remains the same. ex
cept that the lunch will be omitted.
Such work offers about as complet,

could be found. 1t offers both healtl
and the adventure of new undsrtsk

his youth the future novelist read

lecture instead and in time became
quite successful in the practice of that
profession. 1t was while thus engaged
that he again turned his attention to

when he was twenty-seven, he turned

BURLINGTON, June 2. = Fire and

Shelburne Farms yesterday afternoon.
A workman on the roof was using a
torch to fix the cutters. The flame of
the torch communicated with the wood
work and fire rapidly spread through
the attic of the south wing of the build
ing. The fire was fought by the appara-
tus and the help at the farm and some
of the firemen from Burlington and APP
paratus were sent down. 1t was some
time before the blaze was checked. Al
though the burned portion of the build
ing does not represent a big loss, the
damage to the three stories below, oc-
casioned by tons of water soaking
through, is very. extensive. Carpets,
rugs, draperies, hangings, covers, etc,
all very costly, as well as many other
articles were ruined and the financial
| loss is estimated at about $4,000.
