1 result. After he was out, nobody cared for him While the prison is a nccensi’y. yet we know that it shrivels a man, while probation puts him on hi- honor and attempts at le'St to save him. There are some jHjints of danger in the probation law. The plan must be carefully carried out. The ffender should not be allowed tc lapse and then not be b r ought up sharply.” “The : Indiana Village for Epileptics” was the subject discussed by Dr. W. C. Van Nuys ot Newcastle. “The Work of the Tuiberculosis Commission” was taken up by J. N. Babcock, of Topeka.
