In a few of the prisons of the older states the lash survives to thia day as an instrument of torture under the name of punishment. To the credit of human nature in the last quarter of the nineteenth and the first of the twentleh century a determined revolt set in.

The first step was to sow hope, de pendent on good conduct and ap parent reformation. The jiarole sys tem, the honor system, and the in determinate sentence were the nat ural outcome. The tide is sweeping the nation. To turn it back is a hopeless effort of those wtfo claim the rjght of the community to lm mure law breakers: in a temporary hell. ..
