contest in answer to request from
some one interested in a State institu-
ton for the best suggestions for a re-
formatory.
One OF the papers begins: II think
an institution run on the cottage and
honor system has the better chance of
being a success for it Is necessary that
the different types and classes of girls
be segregated and grouped according
to age, past history, education and
mental ability"
Another paper suggests:
The most essential thing for the in
mates Of an institution is fitting them
for life when the specified time has
expired. No one should leave a penal
institution with the idea that she is
disgraced, but with higher ideals and
aims.
THE majority of prisoners are full
OF nervous energy and need. an occu-
patton that will hold their interest and
help them on to success.
An adequate amount of money should
be provided properly to clothe the in
dividual on her release. In shabby
suit and shoes no one can be self
confident or present the proper per-
sonality requisite in an individual de-
string public service"
The operation OF the institution,
which includes the transmission of the
standards of the institution to the in
mates. is facilitated by the personnel,
group of women with specialized
training and with a vital and personal
interest in their work The excellent
conditions at the institution and the
response of the inmates to those con-
ditions are due to their efforts.
The superintendent, DR.. Harris, has
background of wide experience in the
care OF delinquent women. She was
superintendent of women Of the wom-
ems wing Of the workhouse on Black
wells Island. She was superintendent
of the New Jersey State Reformatory
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1928-09-16

for Women. She was superintendent
of the New Jersey Home for Girls.
And her last position before becoming
superintendent of the institution was
that of field secretary of the Inter-
national Association of Policewomen.
Dr. Harris combines the potentialitieS
of a sympathetic and forceful per-
sonality. Her authority as head of the
institution Is a corollary Of her dignity
as administrator. And her close and
individual interest in each one of the
women in her charge calls out definite
and directed response.
When DR. Harris name was men,
toned in the course of conversation
, with one of the inmates, she broke
off what she was saying to exclaim
with feeling: She is wonderful"
Responsibilities in administration are
shared by the assistant superintendent,
Miss Helen Hazard. Miss Hazard has
had experience in other corrective in
situations, and has just returned from
prolonged trip abroad during which
she visited important European institu-
tons for women and girls.
The planning of the buildings of the
institution was done by the superin-
tendent, the advisory board and the
Architects Division of the Treasury De-
partment and approved by Attorney
General Sargent and by Mrs Willie
brandt. Miss Amra Kester, the farm
manager, co-operated in the planning
of the farm buildings and superintend-
ed the clearing and landscaping of the
grounds.
The final group of buildings was COM
pleted last June. There are IL cot
tages, each housing about 30 inmates

A LII Of the buildings of the institu-
ton are for definite purposes. The
fact that they all play some part in
the organization of the place knits
them together. so that they lie close
together like small town without the
effect of collected. isolated parts that
town has This likeness of purpose
and closeness of utility gives strong
ly constructive effect to the activities
OF the institution The women know
that the buildings are we'll connected
with their life and work in the institu-
ton. and they get the impression of a
unified community of which they are a
part.
An industrial building holds the pow
er-SeWlng room, the handWork shop and
will house the class in rug making for
which looms have been provided. In
the power-seWing room. table and bed
linen for the cottages is made, and
the clothes that are worn in working
hours. This room Is equipped with %
electric machines. There is button
hole machine. ham stitching machine
and cutting machine. In the dress
making department. the uniforms are
made which are worn by the inmates
when they are not in working clothes,
of one style in different colored ging-
hams The geing-out clothes are also
made there, those worn when released
from the institution.
Other buildings include the superin-
tendent's residence, the laundry. the
storehouse and the power house. The
laundry is very completely equipped with
washing machines, drying tumbler

institutions are usually dead-level
things" Mrs. Willebrandt has observed.
| My hope is that the institution at Al
derson will get away. both in the life
and in the surroundings, from that dead
level"
TO the women who are brought to the
institution, there is set task Of
orientation. First they observe the
character of the road they have started
upon. They see the beauty of the
grounds, the comfort of the buildings
and the concrete results of intelligent
work. Then they become part of the
institution, and help to improve the
grounds, care. for the buildings and do
practical work in different branches of
specialized industry. So they start
along the road
The buildings themselves are Geor-
gian Colonial of red brick, with a white
trim that includes porches, window
frames and the simple but attractive
Colonial doorways. The cottages are
planned with long hall linking the
dining room at one end and the living
room - the other, The dining rooms
are equipped with round tables. seating
four persons. The living rooms are fur
niShed with chairs that were bought
very reasonably from discontinued Gov

On the upper floors of the cottages
are single bedrooms. These are all
furnished alike with bed, bureau.
table and two chairs. The inmates
take care of their own rooms, and are
required to keep them in excellent order.
They are allowed to all certain individ-
ual touches to their rooms, to paint
the furniture in suitable colors, to hang
four pictures on the walls and to pro-
vide covers for bureau and pillow and
also curtains of their own making.
Many of the rooms show high degree

a memorandum issued with the approval
of the Department of Justice, says: EFF
fort will be made to stress the function
of the institution which is incorporated
in the name given it by Congress. the
Federal Industrial Institution for Wom-
Ell, and to make industry, meaning

In addition to the usual occupation

had hoped for the vice presidential
nomination.
But sentiment began to set in
against Seward shortly before the
convention. Horace Greeley, editor
of the powerful New York Tribue
was opposing him.
What told most against Seward
was the feeling among independent
delegates that he had made too
many enemies.
The Know othings, however
turned the tide. Archbishop Hughes
had supported Seward for Governor
of New York in 1888 and enabled
him to win with Catholic votes.
In gratitude, Seward had proposed
to divide the State school fund be-
tween public and Catholic schools.
The anti Catholics never had for
given him and in 1860, organizing
the Nothing party, they were
against him.
Lincoln's strategists presented
MIN as Stewards admirer and friend
and lined up the anti-Seward dele
gates first, without alternating the
Sewardites.
The Seward supporters had
brought several thousand people
from New York, who marched about
the streets with gorgeous brass
band. They paraded amid lusty
cheers.
Lincoln'S managers packed thou
sands of Illinois Republicans into

the convention, instructed to take

The Democrats fought more be-

Republicans. Lincoln carried every

sary for choice. In two more bal
lots Lincoln had leaped to 23112;
Ohio switched four votes to put him
over and others followed.
Seward accepted defeat gracefully,
though his managers were toe angry

didate and Hannibal Hamlin Of
Maine was selected.
