To the casual observer they are much the same as any group oi laborers. satisfied with their work and apparently happy. But they are convicts serving time. Within a few months the men have justified the faith of Penitentiary Warden Kirk Prather in the 'honor system." The system has pass >d beyond the experimental stage. Briefly, the ' warden’ plan calls for placing yodnger men and first offend rs on honor whereby they work under nominal guard. Island Acreage The stale owns 1,5«> > acres on the island adjacent to the penitentiary grounds. Densely wooded, it of ered opportunity for carrying out the warden's plan. He is clearing it His model prison camp occupants are preparing the land for cultivation. From the center of operations a railroad spur runs to a nearby sawmill, to which the logs are hauled. Sixty convicts man the mill. Already the convicts have constructed two dormitories, a dining room, bath houses and other out buildings. The cost has veen virtual- | ly nealigible. The warden expects to have 400 ! additional acres ready for spring i planting. He plans to raise more j than 320,000 worth of vegetables I next season, thereby affecting considerable saving or the sta. -. One Guard Among the lumberjacks dressed unifortnaly in blue denim no guards are seen As a matter of .act, only one guard occupies the island. His sole duty is to check the men and see that they are in bed by 10 p. m. So far not a man has tried to escape. Apparently they are satisfied to receive th ir four cents a day for the woik. which they purchase tobacco and candy. Ine “reform" system permits the non-habiti'.al and minor offenders to escape in a large measure the odium of prison life. The camp has ,i physician and post of ite. Thus a man may serve his entire term without being inside the wall in contact with hardened criminals. ——o Houses of Harvard Plan Named For Presidents Cambridge Mass., —(UP) — All I but one of the seven houses built I under Harvard University's $14,j 000,000 "House Plan" bears the I names of men who have served as i president of Harvard. They are the Eliot. Lowell. Dunster, Leverett. Kirkland, and John Winthrop houses. Though the ■ seventh. Adams house is not named lor an expresident of the university it is named for a family long prominently identified with Harvard. John Quincy Adams was a Harvard professor before he became President of the United States and Charles Adams was treasurer of Harvard before he became Seere lary of the Navy. DR. C. V.
