AT the October meeting, the Board
ordered that the construction of the
three remaining buildings for which
appropriations have been made be
proceeded with at once. Upon COM
pletion Of these buildings, the Board
will in the future relate architects
services to building projects as and
when appropriations for the same are
made, and will treat each such pro-
ject as a separate financial entirety.
Under this policy and in the face Of
a large growing deficit, the Board
voted to discontinue the architects
office at the close of the fiscal year
in June. 1888. The annual budget fol
this department on its present basis
is approximately $4,000. The actor
Of the Board in respect to this office
is not based on personal c~onsidera
tions. On the contrary, it is the dis
position Of the Board, other things
being equal, to give the present Uni
versity Architect the preference il
the employment Of architectural serv
ices for future buildings.
"The same necessity for retrench
nent compelled the Board at its Oct.
ober meeting to discontinue the Print.
ing Office at the close Of this fisca
year; and to discontinue and liquid
ate the Book Store Immediately.
Thereafter the whole roster of APP
pointments to administrative ant
teaching positions in the Universit!
for the succeeding year will be pres.
ented to the full Board Of Trustees a

subsequent to that meeting, and t.

PRISONS AND PRISONERS
by Clifford C. Mitchell

A group Of Jackson prisoners re-
Gently brought much credit to Jack
son Prison and their efforts have
been published as news in quite a
few daily papers, as well as our own
School News. We refer, specifically
to the debaters who recently won a
two to one decision wei a group of
Detroit debater in the auditorium at
the New Prison.
What is written here, therefore, is
fnot news but an analysis Of the facts
that made the debater's feat news.
Jackson prisoners have achieved sig
nal success in literary efforts; mus
ical accomplishments; general enter
tanning ability; arts; as inventors;
prize gardeners; agriculturists;
mechanicians and as experts in a
variety vocations, and now as debat-
ers.
These achievements have all come
about from the same cause and that
is a policy Of educating and encour-
aging the prisoners to exert every
effort towards developing any latent
talent that they might possess. And
under such a system it is but a nat
ural result that out Of several thous-
and prisoners many individuals will

tually surprising, that possessed by
others and from all walks of life.
Debater! That's a new onel Who
eve heard Of a prison debating team
contesting with a debating team
, contesting with a debating team from
the free word? Baseball games, foot
ball games, basketball games and
many other kinds Of athletic sports
yes, but lever a debating outfit be-
fore.
But there is no reason why pris-
oners shouldn't develope themselves
into wonderful debaters for in all
prisons are to be found many prison
ers with a magnificent voluble abil-
ity. The only trouble has been in
using that ability in the wrong chan
mel.
Many prisoners have found them
selves in prison simply because they
possessed the ability to sell the city
hall to some stranger; a masonic
temple to some investor; a Brooklyn
bridge to a Spectator; and "gilt-
edge" bonds to bankers.
We do not insinuate that any mem
bers Of the Jackson debating team
ever possessed such uncanny voluble
ability-we merely mention that
many prisoners in many prisons have
possessed such ability. Imagine what
such ability could do once it is harm
essed up with the right kind of useful
energy?
Such ability, once the mind has be-
such ability not only to teach other
thinking, will carry its possessor far,
for the world today is in need Of men
who car not only think clearly but
who can express themselves clearly
to others.
Prisoners need missionaries with
such ability not only to teach other
prisoners the road they should travel

themselves and the institution.
And, no doubt, the University of
Michigan professors who gave Of
their time, for months, in coming to
Jackson, teaching and training the
boys in the art of voluble expression
must feel highly complimented in the
wonderful demonstration given BY
their prison-students, and the prof
essors must rejoice with the admin
istration, that their experiment IL
this form of education has proved en-.
tirely justifiable.

best cooperate by SC trianing the
youth as to avoid the many entangle-
ments that the youth Of today now

icipants must be congratulated for

 They had not picked up stick, they said, when they heard a rife or revolver report and heard a whizzing sound pass by their ears. The bullet penetrated one of the rear tires on the truck.
 They said while they were stand ing dumbfounded and thanking their lucky stars for not being in- jured, two cars pulled by. One of the cars, Bernardo said, stopped and the driver said he noticed the truck had. a fiat tire. They acknow-. 1edged the fact and then the driver pulled away with the rejoinder, "too bad.'

 "In all probability. it would not be able to borrow any money from the banks or to sell it's corporate stock as the timidity of bankers regarding the validity of the issu- ance of securities is too notorious to need comment here.
 "If the order of removal Is void. 1t is void in it's inception and would never have any effect. We sub init, however, the courts, which have always been the bulwark against unlawful usurpation of power are not lpelpless and without power under these circumstances" :"
 Justice Ellis Staley, who re- ceived the brief, did not indicate when a decision would be handed down. Assistant Attorney General Henry Epstein, representing Roose- welt, already has filed a brief.
