There are several criminals in the United
States of whom it has been said that no jail
is strong enough to hold them. Like all
sweeping assertions, this statement is prob
ably an exaggeration, but it must be ad
mi tied that the recorded cases of success
ful jailbreaking have been so numerous and
so skillfully planned and executed as to
astound the usually self confident prison
officials, some of whom on rare occasions
seem prepared to admit that they have not
secured a monopoly of the intelligence and
shrewdness of the world.

A bill Is before a state legislature pro
hibiting the imprisonment o f children
under 16 years old with adults. The Im
prisonment o f children nnder 16 years
old at all ought to Ire prohibited, it is
monstrous, almost fit to rank in barbar
ity along with the system which hua al
lowed boys o f 10 years to be executed ac
cording to the law which hnngs mur
derers. The children have in some cases
gone to a gallow s as to a picnic, without
the faintest realization of what death
meant. One poor, half witted little ne
gro lad asked artlessly if hanging hurt
much. The moral sentiment is the lat
est and noblest to be developed. Chil
dren nnder 18 cannot be controlled by it,
for except In the rarest o f cases it is yet
latent in them. W here they eornmit
crimes there is sometimes even a lack of
mental development, sometimes un un
fortunate bent toward cruelty and mon
strosity which must be eradicated by
years o f the best and most careful edu
cation
When children under Ifl mani
fest these abnormal and criminal tend
encies. they should be sent to a reform
atory, not to a prison. There, away
from hardened criminals, away from evil
influences, with only restraint enough
to keep them from doing any more
injury, they can be made nearly always
Into useful citizens. That is what w ill
be done with them in 1998.

The kitchen is provided with a good sised
closet for ntoves and culinary utensils,
with s pantry placed In a convenient loca
tion and communicating with the dining
room in the usual way. The pantry doors
ar* hinged so as to be self dosing, thus
shutting off all smells from ths kitchen
Some persons may object to this a r
rangement df rooms because there Is uo
direct communication between the hall
and dining room and that there are no back
stairs. These objections could easily be
overcome in the planning of the house, but
would involve considerable extra expense,
for an additional chimney would be re
quired sod extra space for the stairway
and passage to ths dining room. Since it
Is a question of cost, we find that thlfe ar
rangement hers shown is one of the best
for the amount o f money to be expended.
In the second story we have two large
chambers, one small bedroom, bathroom
and hall and four closets, which are Indis
pensable to comfort and convenience. These
rooms all have direct communication with
the hall, which is another good feature of
ths plan. The bathroom is placed directly
over the kitchen, so that the supply and
waate pipes have the shortest and most di
rect run to the fixtures.
