Superintendent Donnell of the Mary
land State Prisons delivered a most
timely and helpful address to Rock
! vile students at special assembly
on Wednesday morning. He was in
itroduced by the Principal, Mr.. L. F.
Schott. The message was deeply ap-
preciated by students and teachers.
| Mr.. DonnelI began by telling that
he began his career as high school
principal in Maine. From dealing with
normal individuals he passed on to
working with an older group which
had not become adjusted to their
proper place in society.
He criticized educational institu-
tions which lead young people to
think they are finished products who
will be in great demand in economic
and industrial institutions. They
should be led to realize that their
knowledge is a tool preparing them
for work, and that no success ever
comes to those who do not work to
the utmost of their ability. knowledge
is helpful, but not the end. He point
ed out that the five points necessary
in preparing for success in life are
purpose, training for the equipment
to- carry out that purpose, work,
perseverance, and character.
In comparing person to a watch
Mr.. Donnell said that everyone should
have an open face, two hands, be full
jewelled, well regulated, and be pure
gold. A child's life today is not easier
than the narrower life of a few years
ago. Rapid communication and trans
portation together with increasing
temptations make life a complex prob
lem. Work even for younger children,
is beneficial. 1t helps them to know
what their education is for. Convicts
at Maryland Penal Farm in seeking a
new adjustment to life are taught
about production and construction.
The address was concluded with dis
cussion of the new era opened up by
