This celebrated crimtnolOg1St has
put into practice his theories OF
crime and punishment. The prison,
according to the doctor, exists for
only one reason-to cure but not to
punish the wrong-doer.
Hospital Best "Jail''
In all my 25 years of experience
in prison hospitals I have learned
that two-thirds at least OF the Grim
mails committed to penitentiaries are
abnormals physically or subnormals
mentally. They belong in hos
pital rather than in cell" said
DIR. Vervaeck in an interview with
International News Service.
"In this institution the first thing
we do is to make a general exam
nation of the condemned man." DIR.
Vaervaeck continued.
That means an examination, not
only of his present physical condI-
ton. but Of his family, his past and
his anteeedents.
"Our examinations are listed un-
der Is general headings, ranging
from the study and exploration Of
his nervous system to the signs Of
education or refinement
Our principal concern Is to
separate the prisoners according to
their age. education and criminal
record. One thing we never permit
here is the nlingling of the old
offender with the young man who
may be paying for his first error.
Young Learn Trades
Every prisoner under Is, is put
to work and forced to learn q
trade. Those over that age are,
insofar as possible, assigned to their
usual occupations.
I'VE also try to increase the
social value OF the individual. Al
man, for example who suffers from
some physical defect is sent to the
hospital, for an operation. He
leaves us better equipped physically
to make good.
ITO my mind concluded DR..
Vervaeck. prisons absolutely lose
their only reason for being If they
fail to reform the criminal.
'.Penitential treatment is no long
er back in the days Of barbaric
cruelty.
Punishment, repression, intimida-
ton have failed to correct. Society's
wrongdoers can only be brought
back by system of medical treat
ment, where 1t is necessary" by
Kindness, instruction and by new
preparation for the problems Of
modern social life.''

WORK SCARCE I'M THE NORTH
Urban League Sounds Warning

Urban League Sounds Warning
New York City.-The Industrial Re-
lations Department of the National
Urban League acting on reports from
local secretaries and advisors through
out the country, calls attention to the
scarcity Of work in the North. Here
and there may be found small cities
in which the colored man or woman
may find employment, but both the
large and small cities to which Negroes
have been accustomed to go are plenti-
fully supplied with Iaborers. Especial
ly is this true of New York, Philadel-
phia, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, St.
Louis, Kansas City, Youngstown,
Buffalo, Minneapolis, St. Paul, New
ark, and Hartford Connecticut.
The general unsettled labor condi-
tons in the East are aggravated by
strikes which cause more unemploy-
ment than is usual at this time of the
year. 1t is estimated that in New York
City alone $4,000 men and women are
on strike.
To those who are planning to come
North at this period Of the year when
newcomers usually leave their homes
in the South, the League advises care
full selection in order not to be disap-
pointed in securing work This sug-
gestion seems wise in view Of the num-
Der of applicants from the South seek
ing work above the Mason-Dixon line.

Negro Health
Negro health is beginning to absorb
deal of attention, even in such dis
tricts as are found, both rural and ur-
ban, in Georgia. Alabama, and Florida
Why? Well, Of course, poor health
means potters' fields, hospital expenses,
medicine, epidemics, and whatnot, pill
ing up a bad name and an empty
purse,-the loss of the state and COM
munity which neglects its citizens.
Thus writes the Welfare and Hy-
giene Department of Georgia, under
the Sheppard Towner Act: an one in
stance the work of one Of our Negro
nurses has reduced the Negro mortal
ity in her county among infants and
young children 81 per cent, and three
Negro nurses are employed besides the
services of Negro woman physician"
eighteen nurses comprise the total
staff.
Florida writes of 128 child and pre-
natal conferences for white children,
with 2,326 examinations made; and 48
for colored children, with 3,147 exam
nations made. One thousand three
hundred and sixty-six white mothers
and 1,402 Negro mothers were given
instructions in prenatal care. There
were 1874 class meetings for white mid
wives and 358 for colored; SO dental
clinics for white and 9 for Negroes.
In other words, the South is begin
ming to use the proverbial ounce Of
prevention to save itself from years of
neglect and indifference. Commenda-
ton is in order; but, lest we forget,
while health is being given a boom, let
the South turn its reciprocal tasks to
the preservation of those rights and
privileges which the strong, well, hon
est, ambitious Negro citizen seeks and
deserves, but which are forever and
anon denied to him. For to be well in
mind and spirit it is just as important
as to be well in body.
