huff INITIATES.
MAIL SCHOOL At.
LORTON PRISON

With an eye to preparing in
mates for rehabilitation outside
prison walls, Ray L. Huff has in
troduced correspondence courses
and begun a school for cooks, bak-
ers, bookkeepers and stenographers
at Lorton, he revealed in his first
annual report to the Board Of
Public Welfare.
The augmented rehabilitation
program is but one of the nu-
merous reforms accomplished dur
ing the first year Huff has been
superintendent Of the Districts
penal institutions.
COURSES IN 8 FIELDS
The correspondence courses are
in eight fields, and there are Wis
ual education classes in poultry
raising and brick making.
Prison industries, chiefly laun,
dry done for Government depart
ments, paid for themselves, and
the prisons were able to return on
July / all the $4,000 granted
them a year ago as operating ex-
penSe. This is almost unheard of,
Elwood Street, director of welfare,
said.
Last year the prison industries
operated at a deficit of more than
$21, 900, returning only $4,000 to
the District.
ENDS YEAR WITH BALANCE
Instead of an anticipated deficit
of $4,000, Huff closed the fiscal
year with $50 in the till-in con-
trast to an unbalanced budget of
most previous years.
But faults, many long criticized,
also stand out:
Our well water is condemned
We have twice as many women in
the reformatory as last year Goo
noW) a 900 overpopulation in
persons loss of swine last fall
was terrific .. the office is work
ing three shifts, putting in hours
of overtime scarcity of officer
personnel and open nature of oul
housing reduces recreational pro
gram to small part of what il
should be-"
RECREATION NECESSARY
The principal recreations, HUFF
reported, are baseball and movies
with horseShoes, boxing and wreS
ting providing interest.
Recreation" said the superin
tendent of a year, lis not only
valuable, but necessary, especially
where men are confined. 1t saves
many minds and bodies and re
duces the general hazard to Gus
tody."
On the other hand, they nov
have fire and riot drills.

Refusal to Knit
 Barred at School


 PERTH, Scotland, Feb. 10.-To knit, or not to knit-that is the question at the moment for the Perthshire Education Committee.
 Here's the situation: An eight year-old school boy of Cupar An- gus refused to do knitting as part of his class instruction. His ta- ther had instructed him to refuse.
 Gravely the committee deliberat- ed this defiance of authority and upheld by a vote of IA to the de- cision of subcommittee that the pupil must conform to the school regulations
 A dissenting member of the com- mittee called to mind Scotland's great figure of the past. What would Robert Bruce, or Wallace oi Bobby Burns have said about boys learning to knit at school? | He said: You are making them sissies enough without making them any worse.' The nonknitter is excluded from classes until the parent allows him to knit.
