INTRA-WALL MEETING

Not all the guests invited to attend
the banquet at Hotel Warden, given
to promote interest in the movement
of educating the inmates of the Ohio
Penitentiary were able to be present,
but what was lacking in attendance
was made up by interest and enthusi-
asm.
Mr.. Napoleon Hill, of New York,
was the first speaker. Mr. Hill has
forsaken his own business in order to
assist in putting across this move to
improve the condition of those i'm
prisoned for crimes, some of whom
really do not deserve to be considered
guilty. In telling of the origin of the
movement he related how he uneX-
pectedly met Butler Storke, former
intimate friend, in the Columbus Peni-
tentiary, serving time for an offense
of which he was only technically
guilty. After securing his release the
plan of furnishing to each inmate a
correspondence course which would
enable him to become a useful citizen
upon leaving prison, was formed and
is now rapidly gaining favor among
thinking people.
Each of the representative men and
women present spoke in favor of the
plan and promised assistance in every
way possible. An organization was
effected to be known as the Milton K.
Scott Prison Reform Association, with
the understanding that Newark would
endeavor to educate fifty prisoners.

how they intend to vote before that

tickets are:
The regular municipal ballot for
city and ward officials.

Township Officials.
Constitutional Amendments.

them explained in order that you will
