up information was likely to remain vague
and inconcusive 1t was just as we'll to take
stock now of the work being done IN the
extension classes.
He was only partly convinced and hesi-
tated about letting the reporter have talk
with one of the convict students. He ex-
planned that the men themselves were far
from being anxious to exploit their new op-
portunity, but appeared to take his view of
the matter and wait for results.
However, the warden did send for number
so-and-so. In a moment a tall convict came
in, dressed in an ordinary gray suit, like any
business man and wearing over his vest a
gray sweater. He had black curly hair and
a pair of round shell spectacles worn over
piercing black eyes. His anonymity did
not hide the convict, for he was quickly
recognized as DIR. Hammer of The Bronx,
whose trial had wide notoriety.
AS DR.. Hammer is himself an instructor in
the school, he had fuller knowledge about
IL and displayed a certain degree of enthusi-
asm In his view it had already proved sue
cessful. The papers that had been prepared
and sent Prof. Tyson at Columbia had
passed through his hands and he had found
them very well done in almost every In
stance.

and go willingly enough. But this doesn't
begin to tell with what enthusiasm the ad-
vanced men work on their lessons. They are
at them overy afternoon and all day Sun
day.
'In addition to the studies the warden
mentioned there are a number of extension
scholars who have taken UP Spanish A
number too wish to learn stenography, but
they are not yet doing much with that"
This convict said that there was real
interest in the prison over this new plan of
self-improvement; that, in fact the whole
population" supported It and expected great
things from it,
Yes" said he "the plan is universally
supported and there is no opposition or envy
shown anywhere. Sometimes these things
are to be expected among men placed as
they are here. Nobody has laughed at the
idea or pooh-poohed it in my hearing"
Before he was taken back to the cell tiers
DIR. Hammer was requested to give his
opinion as to the value of this work in the
regeneration of convicts. Said he:

Irish Terrier Famous in All China

ahead of Miss Kendall's party, ready to
meet all corners and to establish the claim
of an Irish terrier as a first class fighting
man.
A clipping from n Shanghai newspaper
shows that this famous dog is as well
known In the treaty ports as he is In Kansu
and Yunnan. The interview with Miss Ken
dali was incomplete without several para
graphs devoted to the little "fu tou." The
Shanghai reporter wrote:
Jack is Irish, thoroughbred Irish ter
rier of the sod. and proud of it-the most
travelled dog ever to honor Shanghai with
his presence. Born in ireland, he spent his
puppyhood in Singapore and in spite of his
sex was educated at one of Americas fore
most womens colleges, later taking a post
graduate course in the world at large, trav-
cling to the remotcst corners of little known
countries. And what travel does for men
it does for dogs-dogs like Jack--for he is
rounded mentally and physically; no sharp
corners in his temperament-docile, kind,
aIniable yet, when occasion arises, firm,
forceful, even ferocious."
It Is Miss Kendall's boast that Jack has
never been licked by any dog anywhere.
His hardest fight was with dog In, llama
temple in Tibet, but he won. The mere ours
OF tho Chinese villages he simply ignores,
trotting along at the head of the, process

If Jack ever thinks of his home, OF his
alma mater, his mind turns to some OF
wellesley's most famous pets-President
Pendietons friendly canary, Prof. Candles
flock of woolly spaniels, Prof. Thompson's
dog Jerry, which once barked under win
dow and brought Jack out with Jerk from
the effects of the ether In an operation that
nearly took the ''fu t'ou's" life, and, last of
all, Hamlet, "the most melancholy dog in
the world" sad, cynical collie belonging

have taken a squirt since the extension
courses were made available. And I think
everybody has noticed that there has been
an improvement of morale generally In the
prison since October due to the same cause.
1.-THE men who go in for the extension
courses have had high school education of
the usual kind-that is, they have had higher
English and first year German and French.
While the men are preparing their lessons,
meaning to afterward write them out and
submit them, there is always a well in

point.

Experiment With Tablets Given to Mentally
Subnormal Children Raises Interesting Line
of Thought for Educators and Physicians
By ToRREY FORD.

T~HE chemically perfect man has not
yet arrived. Even the scientists ad-
= nit that. But there are almost
enough twentieth century improvements to
make II appear likely that his arrival waits
only the completion of one or two more
radical experiments in the chemical laoore-
tory.
Recently it was announced in a Chicago
news dispatch that the Board of Education
was feeding its children education in tablet
form. Long hours of poring over study
books bumped over desks were being elm
mated. The child merely arrived at an
appointed hour and received his daily quota
OF instruction in the form Of a desiccated
tablet. He could either take it with water
or swallow the thing whole in one courageous
sulp.
The surprising part Of the news from our
point of view is that it wasn't spread across
the front page in an eight column streamcr
What single item of interest since the war
has carried more significance to mankind
than this triumphant paragraph from Chi
cago announcing that hereafter school chill
dren may receive their education from the
medical chest?
If a particularly gullible young man had
been on the makeup desk the night the
news came in he might have tossed the
Washington conference and the Dali de!ib-
crations on an inside page and come out

our 1900 inmates are unframed men, with
out any trade, without legitimate way Of
making a living. These men, of course are
taught a trade, and the vocational schools
OF the prison have done good work. Now
along comes this higher development I
wish it we'll; expect good things from 1t,
but why talk about 1t until we know more
about what it can accomplish?
I'VE make automobile mechanics, type
settlers, tailor-cutters and BARRIERS here and
so far that is good. The men who learn
these trades are able TO make a living by
them when they go out into the world again.
In = higher plane of education some of the
men will undoubtedly do better for them
selves, but 1 should like to wait to see what
they accomplish before talking about It."

instances did reports come back about ex-
convicts, especially about those who made

From the proceeds of the play every in

appreciated more highly by the inmates. it
is said, than those coming from tho world
outside the walls.
The stream OF the latter had fallen when
the reporter visited the prison after Decem-
ber 25, but II had by no means died out
In the clerks office there was still to be
seen n procession OF persons of both sexes
with bundles intended for their incarcerated
friends Only now and then did the bundles
inclose prohibited articles.
Warden Lawes said there was no doubt
that the present holiday season had been
fully appreciated by the inmates, and no
wonder. for everybody had done everything
for their comfort and bcttcrment that was
allowable by law
"Followine his reception and classifica-

his punishment like n man can find little to

"One OF these was the taking away OF the

grade a man The change has worked well.
There we're more escapes when the prisoners
were in stripes than now that they arc out

to the State Department of Education, are
agreed as to that"
Warden Lawes said that the men who
were permitted to try for the scholarships
in the extension courses had TO be carefully
selected. He agreed with what the convict
had said In his presence about the prisoners
recognizing almost to a man that the pos
sibility OF getting a higher education was
one of the clean and wholesome things that
gave a sort of uplft 10 prison treatment
but he added:
"I have to repeat that am still in doubt
about it being taken up in more than few
cases. And even those who go in for this
advanced study cannot in all instances be
expected to stick Some are bound to hate
the grind and some are bound to grow in
different and drop out.
"But don't set me down as pessmistic," ;"
said the warden. II simply want to wait
until results speak for themselves; in other
words, we are not given to boasting in Sing

In the death chambers over the Christmas
tide were thirty condemned men. One of
these was taken to Buffalo the day after
Christmas on an order for a new trial.
"Sing Sing Foles" Is the title of the re-
view that the prisoners themselves wrote
and performed for a Christmas celebration
1t was in six scenes, the first and last of
which consisted of musical numbers, while
the other scenes were also mostly musical
and this tunefu part of the entertainment
was furnished by the Frisco Cabaret Orches-

of girls.
