And my people shall dwell In a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings; and in quiet resting places. Isaiah 32:17. 18. THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL ""We recommend, finally, a detailed study of all aspects of the . present state prison, and the requirements of proper Tnanagement, with the end in view of providing profitable employment for all able bodied prisoners, and other needed reforms looking to -the best interests of the prisoners who are not confirmed criminals or mentally defective, as well as the best interests of the state. Such detailed study should be made by a person or persons thoroughly familiar'with the approved practices of criminology and mcKleyn "prison man agement." r - ; : i,The above are the :conciudin2 . wo';thkindings of the committee appointed by Govemor!rcxrt,oh the condition of the Oregon penitentiary .after the .break led by Tom Murray - Tzj&L" ,r And they are the most important words of the report, in being the most far reaching. f ' The other recommendations of the committee, looking to making the penitentiary a safer place to keep men and to having better discipline, either have been complied .with or are being or will soon be complied with . 'But the concluding recommendations, quoted above, call for long continued effort, lasting for many years ,4 For there will never be a system of employing prisoners that may not be improved upon, and there will never be a system of treating them for the sake of reforming a large percentage of them, that may not be bettered K , ' ' "jBut in respect of providing employment the Oregon state penitentiary is now well on its way proceeding towards full self support and a wage for every worker. That goal will make all the rest comparatively easy. Without employment theje cannot be much success in the line of reformation, and wages for work is the next most important thing in modern penology. ' v ''But criminology and penology should Jbetaught ia. our Universities, and the handling of men 'and. women and' boys and, girls accused and convicted of crime ought to be made a profession. There is no more important work. It is worthy of profound study by high class men and women. EDITORIALS OF THE 7- PEOPLE "Know Your Ow n Town Editor Statesman: I understand the Women's club class of Oregon History is now studying to "Know i Your Own Town,' and as the Daughters of the American Revolution are map ping each state by counties, mark ing historical spots, and since I hare Marion county I am enclosing a. list of limited questions, sub mitted to me, as to historic spots. Kevolutionary heroes and promi nent people in Marion .county. . I hare answered to the best of my memory; As I did not have access to my own library and was not able to reach any other for needed dates and information, I shall be glad to be corrected. The Daughters of the American Revolution are doing this, as they real&e much valuable history is being lost by the passing of old pioneers. These county maps will be filed in Washington, D. C, for future use and preservation. Oregon was one of the three states to file the best papers on historical spots.
