 FOR INDIA SEEN

British Friend of Ghandi Makes Forecast of
 Success

London.-The Rev Charles F.. Andrews. 60 years old, bearded, soft spoken, intimate English friend of the Mahatma Gandhi. believes that India will gain her independence within five years.
 He expressed that opinion just before sailing for South Africa on his seventh visit in the interests of Afro Indian amity and cooperation.
 There is wave of reaction now" Andrews said, (which makes progress impossible. But another swing forward is as certain as the Mahatma's stay in London. He arr ranged all of Gandhis weekend visits.
 Andrews and Gandhi first met in South Africa in 1913, just after Gandhi was released from a term of Imprisonment following his agi- tation for favorable treatment by South Africa of the Indian colo nists.
 Andrews helped Gandhf to put through the Gandhi-Smuts agree ment, which solved the Indian question in South Africa along fa- vorable lines just before the out break of the World war.
 From South Africa. Andrews will proceed to India for couple of weeks, and then to China. to help in flood and famine relief work in cooperation with Bishop Roots, Espiscopal Bishop of Han kow, and Dean Johnson. dean of Canterbury cathedral.

Parole Plan At Meriden Reform
 School Heartens
Ten Boys From This City Now Eligible to Freedom Under Setup Devised By Supt Mclaughlin Merit and Demerit System Discarded

Some ten of fifteen. Waterbury boys now inmates of the Connecti- cut School for Boys at Meriden are eligible for parole under new system inaugurated by Superin- tendent Roy L. Mclaughlin. The new procedure eliminates the old merit and demerit scheme such as has been fin vogue for years. If a youngster shows the right mental attitude in efforts made to correct his mode of living 1t will not be necessary for him to strive to "get time off" for good behavior.
 The system also operates with the the cooperation of probation offices, school teachers and welfare workers. It is designed to give a lad a "break" and to lead him req sonably and intelligently from his erring ways.
 Mrs Irene Piercey, local proba- tion officer, who has charge of the investigation of juvenile delin- quency here speaks very highly of the efforts of Superintendent Mclaughlin and is of the opinion that the system now in an experi- mental stage will prove not only satisfactory, but one well worth while in the interests of reform.
 It is a system founded on new ideas in reform procedure, and characterized by classification of in- mates and conferences with school officials and outside social and welfare workers. The new plan, typical of the new trend in correc- tionaI institutions is a. substitute e for the traditional system of merits and demerits.
 Under the old plan. an inmates conduct in the school was the de- termining factor as to when he would be released on parole. Typi- cally, if he behaved himself for a certain period of time, he won enough merits or marks of good be- havior to enable him to be paroled.
 It was an ancient system based on the old notion of expiating for a crime. MT Mclaughlin, who used the newer process at the Cranston,

lR. I. reformatory he headed be. fore going to Meriden, points out that the merit system was weak ir two outstanding ways; namely, ir assuming that boys conduct ir the school indicated strongly how
 he would act outside; and that a boy is ready to take his place ir the outside world as soon as he has behaved properly in the school for a certain period.
 The former system, MT Mo. Laughlin pointed out, did not take proper regard of other contributory factors. By illustration, he showed how a boy might behave we'll in the school and earn a parole, only to fall victim to the old environ ment of temptation because of an inherent weakness which has not properly been remedied. Again. a boy might misbehave in school and yet have the quality to be law abiding outside the school.
 On the other hand, a boy might be paroled only to return to a poor home or social surroundings which were responsible for his incarcera- : tion originally.
 The plan now in vogue purports to do away with these old weak nesses. Under it, an inmate comes before a committee of officials after a months stay for a conference as to his behavior, school progress and classification on the basis of his showing. Later, at stipulated pe- riods, he again Is subject to con- ferences with officials and workers both inside and outside the school.
 His program in the schol and for his eventual entrance into the outside world are important parts of these conferences. It is a funda- mental of these activities that the boy be ready to fit into proper environment before he is released.
 The plan has been in the exper- mental stage for the past several months but is gratifying school of- ficials with the evident success which it promises, as well as it's superiority over the preceding sys- tenn

|DEBATERS WILL
 DISCUSS EASY DIVORCE LAWS
Nevada University Team Plans Trip Through
 Northwest

University of Nevada, Reno.- Nevada university's debate team advocates marriage harder and di- vorce easier.
 On trip to be made into the northwest this winter, the Uni versity of Nevada debate team, &C., cording to Coach Robert S. Grif- fin, will take both negative and affirmative stands on the subject of whether the tendency toward easy divorce in the United States constitutes a social menace.
 "On our trip we will uphold both the affirmative and negative sides, although in a majority of cases we will probably defend easy divorce" Coach Griffin said.
 The Nevada team believes in making divorces easier and mar riage harder. Most divorced per- sons remarry, and in so doing are more careful in choosing a second

 One of the main points to be used by the team in it's negative defense. Griffin stated. is that the tendency toward easy divorce seems to be a natural step in social evolution. that American people are coming to be more rational in their viewpoints on marriage and divorce.
 Nevada debaters will probably have a great chance to defend their stand on divorce, one similar to that taken by their state when the six weeks divorce law was passed, when they invade the northwest.

Thursday, Sept. 1 at 4:30 p. m.

Stage Line girls, who claim the
girl baseball championship of the
United States, will meet the Wolf

be a real game. No comedy or kit

will have to get right down to
business to avoid the humiliation
of losing to a female aggregation,
but it is expected to be a gentle
menly and ladylike game, never
theless. with bat throwing and
hairpulling barred.
The girls have a left-handed
pitcher who is hard to solve. Out
on the coast she pitched a shut-out

are going to miss the best sport

COUNTY LEAGUE FLAG
SUBJECT TO PROTEST

The Poplar ball team has pro-
tested the game played with and
at Culbertson last Sunday, which
resulted 6 to 5 in favor of gilbert
son and would, if allowed to stand,
give the pennant for the second
half of the season to Culbertson.
The protest which was made be-
fore the game was played, is on the
grounds that Culbertson used a
catcher from Medicine Lake with
out listing him two weeks in ad-
vance according to the rules adopt
ed by the league.
A meeting of league team man
ayers was held at Brockton Thurs
day evening and the matter was
thoroughly discussed. 1t was voted
that Culbertson be given an OPP
portunity to play the game over
without the protested player. II
they refused to do this, the pro-
tested game to be declared forfeit
ed to Poplar who would become
penant winners.
