Temporary Buildings Being
Supplanted by Permanent Homes
AS yet our buildings are only tenn
porary in their structure. Our doors
and windows are open day and night
The occupants of one room have noth,-
ing to do with the occupants of tn
room next to them. Throughout the
whole institution both in department
and housing OF inmates there is the
most careful classification. Sentenced
women are in buildings to themselves
termed girls and women. Our classifi-
cation goes by groups, hence only the
members of that particular group
mingle In work or recreation, and the
most healthful atmosphere exists. In
general assembly meetings the cap
tains OF the different groups act as
supervisors for the occasion under the
leadership OF the various matrons.
The site OF the Industrial Farm for
Women is on high ground command
ing broad views. 1t is probably the
finest institutional site in the State
and Is conspicuous from n distance.
IL Is located on 100 acre tract Of
land one and half miles east OF
Lansing.
TIE population to-day is 40 in
mates, t2 matrons, ] physician, 2
nurses, record clerk, chief clerk, /
steward and 2 chaplains-one Prot
estant and one Catholic. During the
brief period of six years nearly 1000
women and girls have received the
fostering care of the institution.
Our vocational work is so mapped
out that every occupant of the home is
busy At all times, though. the in
mate is of more consideration than the
work she does. In tho arrangement of
our vocational work we try to choose
the things that will tend 10 cement

with their nature and composition.

and practical work in cookery follows

is made an important item. We have

have referred to the splendid loca-
ton Of the farm, and we feel glad to
have had the experience of living in
the very simple way we have. Our
temporary buildings have meant much
to us, and our meager equipment has
meant more. 1t has taught us all re-
sourcefulness--a great lesson to be
learned. AS our girls go out to the
larger life outside they will never have
less. and il they have moro they will
know how to use it in an economic
way. and most approved way. Con-
tractors with about forty men are
busy right now constructing splendid
buildings and planning our heating
plant We would not know they are
here were il not for the work they do
and the splendid appetite they have.
Our grounds have been laid out by
landscape artists from our university;
the new buildings will be at least
sevcnty-five feet apart and oriented
to obtain a largo amount OF sunlight.
Bigger and Better Plans on V,
Foot to Aid the Work
Each building is so planned at ariif-
ferent angle, thus presenting pleasing
pictures as one enters the grounds
our old buildings will be torn down
as soon as room Is available in the
new ones. With better facilities we
will havo. more time to plan bigger
things for the ones who come TO us,
but, | am sure, with all the handicaps
we have had much good has been ac-
complished and many have been
helped TO find their better self.
AS we work with the women Of the
farm and watch their happy faces as,
they telegraph their responsiveness to
the speaker; as we listen to them
singing hymns of praise, not only
with their lips, but also with heart
melody; as we hear them giving ac-
ourately and conciscly underlying
truths found in their Bible study, Il
is evidence enough TO convince the
most skeptical that Gods Word. even
in these troublous times. does not re-
turn void. but continues TO accomplish
It's divine purpose.

hence we use the old fashioned irons
heated on laundry stove. ALL the
elementary stitches used in sewing arc
taught. and when these samples are
completed garment making follows.
Our general sewing department affords
an opportunity of acquiring practical
knowledge of ordinary sewing, cutting,
fitting and making their own wearing
apparel; also articles for general
household use without waste of time or
material.
Our women take great delight in
farming and truck gardening. Our
gardens at this time are teeming with
good. crisp vegetables. We expect our
potato crop yield to be sufficient to
carry us through the year. We will
also raise enough field corn. kaffir and
maize to supply our demands.
Our hogs, our poultry and dairy
work are industries In themselves and
go long ways i'm reducing our per
capita expense. During the last month
we sold quite bunch of hogs and our
per capita was 1914 cents a day. The
canning season is a busy one here
We put up thousands of quarts of veg
etables, we make kraut. we bury cab
bage, celery and lettuce. We make
barrels of pickles. we dry apples, and
these come in nicely for use and re-
duce State expense.
our plan of discipline Is positive in
character, working to a great extent
on the principle of the elimination of
evil through the substitution of good
rather than by arbitrary rule. Per-
sonal intimacy is overcome by em-
ploying the mind with some attractive
line OF activity--let that be work. play,
reading or dancing. No corporal pun
ishmcnt is permitted.
Recreational periods are as carefully
planned as work periods--they both
exist as a means TO an end.
Human Touch in Every Case
Is the Reforming Agency
III you have not yet guessed what
reforming agency is employed, I will
answer:
It is the human touch. the helping
hand, the sacrificing spirit that lifts
one from lower levels TO higher ideas
OF living. II is the vision caught---by
the one who works with TIE one who
is down and out; being able at the
same time TO measure carefully the
possibilities OF the one worked with I;
IL is the inspiration that you are able
TO give the one--who needs help--ttat
arouses the scared conscience--to
right thinking and right doing The
individual worked with must be
brought to sec that she plays an inn
portant part,in her own reformation.
When you bring her to see and know
this--the hardest part of the work Is
done in saving the girl
The reformation OF people is largely
hndered because OF the fact that those
who work with them---do not visualize
properly. Their vision does not take
proper form. It IS possible 10 have
well constructed buildings and these
buildings may be splcndidly equipped

here as domestic science. 1t is safe to
say that even Nine. Curie understands
the science of feeding herself as well
as her family.
1t may seem far afield to touch on
this subject and yet if we are to send
our daughter to college do we wish to
feel that the practical side Is to lie in
allegiance for four years, for 1t does
not matter what her walk in life is
to be, she will need a grounding in

Father Is the One
Who Arbitrarily Decides

Rarely, however. is it the mother
who 10 set on college for her girl,
but It is the father who decides arbi-
trarily that she shall go. That is
especially apt to be the case when
there is no son in the family to go
I'D to Harvard or Yale to win prizes
on the teams as his progenitor did
and gild again with metal trophies the
family name. This joy being denied
him, father determined while his
daughter still cooed in the cradle that
Emily or Isabelle should do what was
possible in her feeble feminine way
in college sports. am acquainted
with a New York father, otherwise
quite intelligent, who bribed his daugh-
ter against her will to enter woman's
college last autumn with no higher
aim than to major" in tennis.
It surely is not necessary to predict
that the results in this case OF send
ing my daughter to college" VIII not
amount to much.
I have begun. II would seem from
the above, as IL retained to argue
against college for women instead of
placidly and open mindedy consider
ing the HONanlaBeS anu ulSauN"he"eS
TO be found there by the young women
OF our day. Such an attitude of mind
would relegate me rightly to tie dark
ages when women learned by stealth
IL they learned at all and IL they were
wise concealed what they knew. MY
feeling Is, however. that great dis
elimination ought to be used by par
ents when they arrive at this crucial
period in their daughters life. They
have n multitude of things to con-
slider and the first one is the young
woman herself. In fact, what l ask OF
parents is the hardest thing they can
be asked to do; Il is to do some real
thinking on the subject.
Have the parents OF the 10000
women students that are now In
American colleges. universities and
professional schools ever asked them
selves whether they were doing the
best in their power to TT this great
band of girls for proper twentieth
century living? Have they in all In
stances considered the girl or per-
mitted their own ambitions. their own
foibles to settle the problem?

By JULIA B. PERRY,
Superintendent State Industrial
School, Kansas.

~ WING to the crowded condition
at the Kansas State prison and
~ lacking space and room to
properly house the criminal insane. the
only reasonable solution to the intri-
cate problem was to place the seven
teen women prisoners in a rambling
old farm house one mile distant from
the prison proper. This was done in
1916. s"@ 'D
1t seemed a venturesome thing to do.
Imagine, If you can, the surprise that
came to these women when they found
themselves away from stone walls,
with no bars or cells to hold them. At
first it was thought necessary to in
close this home with high barbed
wire fence, the only opening being
large farm gate that was religiously
closed and locked with a strong Yale
lock.
The superintendent of these women
was not accustomed to stone walls.
prison bars and Yale locks, hence after
many entreaties and much persuasion
the inclosure was taken away. Among
the number committed to penal servi-
tude were five life termers, together
with others for various offenses which
carried with them prison confinement.
Women Prisoners Forgot Prison
And Tried to Make Good
The prison life soon faded away. and
here under the leafy shade OF birch
and elm trees, as they listened to the
lowing of the cattle, the twitter Of the
birds, the varied voices OF the farm
fowls. as they felt the genial warmth
of Gods blessed sunlight and breathed
an abundance of fresh air, they said:
This seems good to us and we want
to make good" And they did make
good. They put new zest into their
various duties; they began to think
good thoughts; they were tired Of the
old way that had brought so much Of
grief into their lives: they were eager
to let go the things that had brought
so much of sorrow and heartache and
ready to reach out for the things that
would build up and help them find
themselves.
To some IL seemed dangerous ex-
pertinent to deal with women prisoners
in such humane way, but as time
progressed they became convinced that
the institution had passed tho expert
mental stage and there was no trouble
to secure appropriations for a much
needed reform. During the world war
an intricate problem presented itself
This problem grew out OF the fact that
lewd women from all parts of the
United States were nocking to war
camps in great numbers and greatly
endangering the morale OF the camps
and the physical condition of the man
force stationed at these points.

T-HIS spring. like many other
springs before it. there are
numerous meres de fdmHle
puzzling over problem that is almost
II not quite important enough in their
estimation TO distract them from
that first consideration of the sea-
son--the gown daughter shall wear
when she graduates in the ballroom
of the Plaza from the fashionable
finishing school where she has
learned all she knows of books in an
attendance OF from four to six years.
In a fashionable sense the word
"finish," to be written after the reports
of this school all have been tabulated,
is appropriate. but the daughter of her
father and in rare cases the mother
herself is inclined TO consider what
she has received from il as being
merely preparation for real educa-
ton. And so at this season one or
other of them brings UP the discussion
about college.
Shall / send my daughter to COL
Iege? 1t is a weighty and often a
vexing question. And it is one that is
too often answered unwisely and to the
present and future unEappiness of
the girl.

II Is the Mothers Place
To Study Her Daughter

wise mother then will not turn
her entire attention to the task Of
finding a husband for her daughter
unless that and that only is the girls
career. And if the mother ever knows
this she always knew it, and as a
corollary she knew that college was
not meant for her child.
But suppose that a mother has seen
in her child capacity. administrative
power, ability TO concentrate, judg-
ment and at least the beginning of
wisdom, then she will do all in her
means to give her girl a chance, be-
lieving that she can make a success OF
her life in lines that once belonged
exclusively to men. That wise mother
would send her girl to college and
never fear that the independence of
life there, the freedom from petty dis
cipline, would hurt her. She would
close her eyes to some of the defects
that come from pulling down the walls
of routine, she would close her cars
to some of the rebellious words the
undisciplined but enthusiastic mind
voices. feeling confident that the les-
ser evils would die away of them
selves and the great benefit of her
college life would lastingly remain.

There Are Few Young Girls
Marked by Nature for College

Let us put to one side in our talk
about college the girl who has always
planned to study there since she was
6 years old. She is the girl who
thirsts for knowledge and burns for
a professional career. AS she hap
pens rarely, about as often as a wkite
blackbird, she need not be considered.
No matter what her father and
mothers opinions are she will over
ride them and have her way. In fact
where there is pronounced ambition
in a youngster parents who are wise
yield for TIE sake of quiet life.
But the great flock of girls at nine
teen have no very strong inclination
toward anything except means Of Il
good time; they are malleable in
mothers hands and they will go to
college or stay at home, stay where
they are put so to speak, and in
either place for a few years or until
they find themselves they will simply
waste time or float voltionless on any
current. For these young women par
ents must decide.
In certain families there is a tradi-
ton of college; mother and grand
mother both went there, and it is the
thing to do. This tradition persists in
spite of all the failures colleges have
turned out. The mother turns a deaf
ear. to her older friend who complains
that after four years in college her
daughter came back to her perfectly
useless" with every good habit that
had been inculcated in her before she
went wiped out by these years OF be-
'6ig "on her own with a reckless de-
termination TO live at home precisely
as she did in college; that is, with a
dsconcerting irregularity and worse,
with utter lack of sympathy for the
little home habits that once gave her
pleasure and even joy.

Our girls are actually the most re-

it when 1t is constructed and TO make
