M. Brown of Belgian
Relief Fund to spaik
On Thursday evening, February | >
6, at 7.45, in the Common Room, |
Milton Brown, of the Belgian Re- |
lief Fund, Inc., will speak. This’
fund, along with the Norwegian |
Relief Fund, the Queen Wilhelmina |
Fund, Inc., and the Commission for |
Polish Relief, endorses the Na-
tional Committee on Food for the |
Small Democracies, whose sole pur-
pose is to inform the public of Mr.
Hoover’s plan for a solution of the
vital question of food for Europe.
The committee does not ask for
money or supplies, but only for an
“aroused public conscience.”
Mr. Brown, one of Hoover’s aides
during the last war, has lived in
Belgium ever since, and—is~-there-
fore well qualified to present Mr.
Hooveér’s plan.
Place of Morale
In Prisons Stressed
By Annandale’s Head
Common Room, February 26.—
On Wednesday evening the Gradu-
ate Association of the Department
of Social Economy presented Mr.
Sauter, head of the Annandale Re-
formatory in New Jersey. Annan-
dale, for boys from 16 to 26, is 12
years old and one of the most pro-
gressive schools of reform in. the
country. It is unwalled, unfenced,
has few devices of restraint, and
in it there is an emphasis, unique
in prisons, on individual psychol-
ogy.
The development of a morale is
the most important thing in prison
work. - To minimize temptation
men are kept busy eight hours a
day, since idleness leads to the dis-
cussion of what all the inmates
day, since idleness leads to ‘the dis-
have in common—crime. Morale
is also maintained by a system
of privileges, by which men may
become more and more trusted
until they are allowed to live in
the Honor Cottage, which has no
guard, and where the men may
come and go as they please.
The results of this free treatment
have been gratifying to Mr. Sau-
ter. Many times, when there has
been a meeting of the staff, the
men have run themselves success-
fully. Of the men released, 62 per
cent have never been rearrested, 8
per cent have been charged for mi-
nor offenses, and 30 per cent have
been sent back. It is hard to tell
how these figures compare with
those of other institutions, because.
in less progressive reformatories
no such records have been kept,
since there is not such an interest
in the permanent benefit to the
individual.
