WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1028 HUMANE SYSTEM APPLIED IN THE PENITENTIARY Qeneral Hughes Shows How Prisoners Are Encouraged to | Make Second Chance. I te a ur boot to treat prisoners like human beings but, remember, a cage Is a cage no matter Bow You gild "it," declared Brig.-Gen. William St. Plerre Hughes, D.S.0., Superin- tendent of Penitentiaries, Depart- | ment of Justice, in a stirring address before the Rotary Club of Ottawa in the Chateau Laurier on the subject of "The Work of the Penitentiaries, Particularly With Boys." Up to three years ago, penitentiary officials 'were prohibited from speaking in public, he pointed out. Up to that time, the only word that was heard ebout the prisons, generally speak- ing, was the talk of disgruntled dis- charged men who found listeners auité easily, but whose statements were perhaps one per cent. true. "The wardens are now succeeding in giving young prisoners a different view of life and are turning them out educated to take their places in the world," Gen. Hughes continued "Outside of the Salvation Army, tho Rotary Club of Winnipeg is doing more for prisoners than any other organization in Canada. Not one man taken over by the Rotary Club has ever gone wrong. Many young men at Portsmouth penitentiary are serv- ing terms for having escaped from* other Institutions, They augment those who are under 20 years of age. We have not followed a rule of thumb in caring for the prisoners. Each is treated individually. The mentally weak are turned back and thus become a charge on provincial or municipal governments. Horse sense and a knowledge of the pris- ener, coupled with long experience In prison work form the best guide nj Judging men. Work of Teachers, | "Paid school teachers in peniten- | tiaries are doing wonderful work i Three out of eleven firsts at a wate rl color exhibition in Toronto last year i were won by prisoners, There are | high class instructors in all techni- cal departments, We are edumating foreigners to read and write the Eng- lsh language. We talk about foreign missions, but there is a great fleld right in Camada on which we can well expend our energies. One man told me that he would not take $15.- €00 for what he had learned in peni- tentiary, "During the past three years we have secured qualified teachers of an uplifting and inspiring type; improv- ed lbraries--the one at Portsmouth has 11,000 volumes; the best maga Zines are placed at the: disposal of the prisoners; they are dressed in Plain clothes; the tobacco ration has been granted again; we have added to the writing privilege and business letters do not count against letters to families; a greater variety of food ! {8 being Supplied; the hair is not clip- ped In the winter; prison hospitals fave been improved; additional em- ployment has been provided; dental Cilnlos have been established; the Prisoners are permitted to talk pro- viding they do not disturb others, end jobs are procured for about 93 per cent. of the discharged. "Every year since 1896 we have asked the government for work for Pprisoners--government work, If we get it, we can make the institutions self-sustaining and pay wages be- sides, while it will not conflict with & | ARN Vy 3 DODD'S | avery ordinary workers more than five per | cent. at the most." | General Hughes pointed out that 1.613 men out of a total of about | 2,600 in the penitentiaries of Can- | ada were under 30 years of age and 327%Wvere under the age of 20. "The | | Salvation Army is the only organiz- | ed help that the penitentiaries have," | he said. Warden C. W, MacLeod of the ; penitentiary at Prince Albert, Sask. | was also a guest of the Rotary Club. | SOMETHING ABOUT PINEAPPLES . '| "Wonderful fruits grow everywhere, | So luscious, and big, and sweet, And all one has to do out there Is to gather them up and eat." | | | "I wish, Uncle, you would tell me something tonight about the big pine-apples you used to Brow In Papua," sald Teddy. I like hearing about fruit. Didn't you tell the par- | son that you could buy a boatload of bananas for a few sticks of to- | bacco? Tell me all about that. Fruit would be my '"kalkai" in New Guinea, I think." ' "Right-o-, Teddy. The soil of Papua is wonderfully fertile and all tropical fruits grow splendidly, Those pines I used to Brow were not the ordinary yellow Mauritius pine but the Kew pine, which are larger, less f'brous, and are of an attractive greenish purple color. They have a | full nich scent, which would make you lek your lips when a ripe one | was out near you. I have forgotten | 8 what they weighed, but you certain- ly could not eat one at a couple of | sittings as they stood nearly twenty inches high and occasionally higher than that. T wish we had a dozen crates of tham now to sample and | sell, Then the watermelons grew to an enormous size, and once on Yula Island, I'saw two native policemen staggering along with a watermelon slung on a rifle between them. It | sounds like a faked photograph story, doesn't 1t? Even a little colored | coon would have some difficulty in { getting through a watermelon that | size, I fancy, The bananas grow in | ry native garden and anywhere | they are planted. They are very cheap | and I used to pay about half a stick of tobacco for a branch of them. I do not mean Just a bunch, but 'the whole lot--you know how they hang up, in the etores. If you | are fond of peanuts, Teddy, all you | have to do is to take a spade on one of the plantations and dig a sack or | two of them. We used to grow them | for green. manure or to prevent wash from the tropical rains. Of course | you can get all the cocoanuts you | want, and there are granadillas to be had, as well as many other trop- feal fruits." "Papua for me, Uncle. How about tomatoes?" "When I was on a plantation call- ed 'Koitakinumu,' the tomatoes grew everywhere on the newly cleared Jand, One could gath- er a basketful at any time, Someone had thrown away packets of about a dozen different varieties, and they spread all over the place. The soil Was many feet deep and there was not a stone for miles. It Was just rioh garden loam, A Oranges and Limes, "I nearly forgot to tell you that cranges and limes grow -in most places very well indeed. We used to have plenty of those nice sweet Tan- gerine oranges and big green or- anges, which were very sweet and juicy. Limes make a very nice drink, nd a 'siporu' om a hot day goes 'own very well, indeed. Many peo- ple prefer a Mme agree with them. There is one other thing, too, that would be of great in- terest to you and that is sugar cane. I have mentioned it before, but we never stopped to chew a yard of it. It makes one's teeth very white and ! think sugarcane has something to do with the beautifully white teeth that @0 many natives hava It 1s a shame to tease you, Teddy, so we will go out and I will pay for ail the fruit you want to buy." To-morrow's story is about a trip up the St. Joseph River. The First Anthracite. Toronto Globe. -t It is hard to believe that the first man to take anthracite to Philadel- phia--only 110 years ago--had trou- ble in giving it away. He was Col.
