these subjects have been in demand

liar gatherings.
During his years as secretary Of
ths board Of State charities Butler
has seen the penal system OF Indiana
and Of other States grow from a
snpshod system of punishment to
the present practices Of reformation
and reconstruction of criminals.
Butler also has been very active
in insisting on proper care for the
insane, the feeble minded and other
unfortunates. He has had much to do
with the improvement of the institu-
tons maintained by the State for this
purpose. He has turned most Of his
efforts recently toward obtaining
ample provision for the feeble minded.
In this he has met the opposition Of
legislators and executives who oppose
spending money for such purposes.
