Members of the Kiwanis club
were given an insight into the
penal problems of the state at
their Thursday luncheon when
George w. Roup, superintendent
of Monroe reformatory, was the
speaker on a Frank Chadwick
memorial program.
He said that at present Monroe
had 500 inmates and that the OBJ
ject of authorities. not only there
but in the other penal institutions.
Is to try to rehabilitate them.
Ninety-five per cent of the in
mates of all institutions. Roup
stated, are released at some time
and 1t Is up to the state to pre-
pare them for some kind of work.
Sixty-five per cent of inmates
have never been beyond the eighth
grade and the same percentage
are confined as a result of wrecked
homes. he said. In comparing the
cost of maintaining an inmate at
Monroe and educating a child, the
former totals $500 annually and
the latter 500, he pointed out. The
speaker was introduced by Rev.
Philip Raymond.

STUDIED QUESTION

TAMPA, March 22.-Six thou
sand school teachers and county
school officials, attending the an
nual convention of the Florida
Education Association here last
week, adjourned Saturday after
leaving to the 1889 Legislature
the job of finding revenue to re-
place funds lost through discounts
allowed delinquent taxpayers.
The proposed emergency APP
preparation, sufficieht TO assure a
full term in all schools, was es-
timated at approximately $1,000
900 but members of the Legisla-
ture, in Tampa to study finance
and taxation problems of the
state, saw little chance of grant
ing the schools request.
Recommendations for tn e
emergency fund of $3.50 per
teacher unit were contained in a
report of the continuing educa-
tional council, composed of prom
inent school officials.
Two-thirds of the counties,
council members said, have re-
ported their schools will have less
than the standard nine months
term.
Adjournment of the association
convention featured the election
of James TaWilson, Miami school
superintendent, as new president,
