' The New York Botanical Garden

Set Aside For That Purpos NEW YORK Soldiers who art beinf? taught practical gardening at the New York Botanical Garden are finding both profit and enjoyment in their work. "There is today' N. L. Britton, Director of the Botanical Garden, said, "a real scarcity of trained gardeners everywhere. Heretofore most of the gardeners have been British, Dutch, or . Germans, trained ia gardening, before coining to America. Since immigration has ceased the demand i'or gardeners must in the future be filled by Americans." The student gardeners are younr men who served their country during the war and Vccarae disabled ia the service. Some were passed, others suffered from shell shock, and two u lost an arm. The school for service men both officers and pri

vates attend was started last Janu- . ary when the Botanical Garden be- !

came affiliated with the Federal Board for Vocational Education for the vocatinal training of convalescent soldiers and sailors m practical pardeninff. The Government pays the tuition fee and board of the men. Students who complete a two years' course at the school will receive a certificate. During the war wages paid to gardeners steadily increased. Although they do not yet equal the wages of workers in some industrial pursuits, the gardener has much to compensate him. He lives in pleasant and healthful surroundings and does the sort of work that is conducive to good health and clean living. If he is a gardener on a private estate, he often has a house, rent

free, and his own little vegetable garden. Gardeners today receive from $75 to $95 a month. A foreman gardener receives from $1,200 ' to $2,000 a year,, and a, gardener who is Superintendent of a wealthy man's country estate may receive as much as $3,000 per annum. The pav of a gardener depends to a large 'extent on his practical knowledge of gardening and his usefulness, and a gardener who is a highly trained specialist .

can command a good salary. The grounds of the Botanical

Garden are ideally adapted for the student gardener. They occupy nearly 400 acres of Bronx Park, and with their wealth of plant life offer an object lesson in all details of outdoor gardening. There are two extensive ranges of greenhouses, one of which is the largest glasshouse in the country. Within the park are also the extensiv glasshouses of the Tarjc Department in which the student may observe the propagation of plants and their cultivation. The Botanical Garden also has a large library of horticultural books and laboratories and equipment for indoor class work. Students receive instruction from the staff of the Botanical Garden and ' officers of other institutions. The work is of three kinds. Uiider the head gardener and his foreman, they spend about one-half their time in actual practical work, 'including the subjects outlined in the school's curriculum. On one or two days of each week, members of the garden staff or other specialists present lectures or demonstrations on subjects of interest to gardeners. The remainder of the, time is spent in class work, and students learn from lectures and laboratory study the fundamental principles of the sciences upon which successful gardening is based. The school holds sixhour sessions five days a .week, and a certain amount of reading is mapped out for the student The curriculum comprises th'e following subjects: Greenhouse practice, elementary botany, garden botany, special lectures, vegetable and fruit gardening, flower gardening, garden zoology, garden carpentry, plant physiology, plant chemistry and soils. There are also lectures , ai?d demonstrations on care of trees and lawns, fertilizers, 'drainage, forestry, native wild plants, tropical gardening, tropical botany, old world gardens, uses of plant products, can rung and preserving and other sub jects. The school is not comp03ed wKoTly of men from the service. A civilian may attend by paying the tution fee of $15 a month. At present the school has three civilians, two of whom are women.

ALLIGATOR COMES BACK KENYON, O. After wandering at large two days, "Bill," a Florida alligator owned by Edward Rose here, has returned to the tank where he and his partner. "Lib," live. Bill crawled over the edge of the tank and disappeared. His owner frantically searched the city and with newspaper advertisements started a search for the pet alligator, with a cash reward for the person returning him. But he couldn't stand the separation and travelled back alone. The alligator is thirty-eight inches long, but docile and not at

all dangerous his owner says.

SWIMS EIGHT MILES THROUGH STORM

BOSTON, Mass. The feat of Madeline Torvely, the pretty South Boston girl swimmer who swam eight miles during a severe electrical storm in an attempt to go the distance from Charlestowa bridge to the Boston light, has created .quite a sensation here. As the girl headed for the mouth of the bay the storm broke. Although the ind kicked up a nasty sea she continued, using -a steady over hand stroke, despite the lash of the waves and the bitterly cold tern perature of the water.

LONDON, England Many of the alterations and improvements in prison systems, which have been proposed by those intimately acquainted with the subject, have been held up by the war, but a great effort must now . be made to bring them into active working. Nothing is more evident than the remarkable change in the attitude of the public toward crime and criminals; there is a systematic demand for investigation as to what constitutes crime, together with a deep sense of responsibility toward those who, for the protection of society at large, need to be segregated and controlled. It is no exaggeration to say that amongst thinking people the desire merely to punish has been supplanted by the more intelligent wish to improve such individuals as come under the ban of the law. Degradation, mechanical and useless work, and depressing surroundings tend to lower self-respect, however elementary, so that it has become evident that systems retaining such conditions are useless and consequently wasteful. One of the primary necessities is a more thorough classification of all persons sent to prison for long or short periods, but h is even more important to try and prevent the great majority from ever reacking prison at all. Probably much of the present system of punishment for slight offenses came atoui because it w. au easy method, but public opinion has passed the stage when mere convenience would be used as an argument, and the fact that three out of five of the persons who go to jail have already passed through its gates before shows that as a deterrent imprisonment is a failure. The short sentence baa but few friends or admirers. It achieves little if any reform, and it is obvious that there is no reason why it should do so. It- must be remembered that the great proportion of offenders are the direct result of social neglect, of overcrowding and congestion, of ignorance nd general low standard. Cases coming froi such irrvironment require to be retained for sufficient time to permit of higher social instincts being developed, for to plunge thejm back again into the same surroundings, until a desire for something better has been evoked, is merely to waste both time and public morfley and, most important of all, potential manhood. Pvrrv nrtson visitor knows from

experience that many of those whp find their way to prison arc obviously unfit to be judged by normal standards.' Under chosen conditions improvement may be made, and, here again, an increase of homes for those who require special care will be required, such cases tending less and less to reach prison at all. Welldefined cases do not do so now, but there are also the border-line people, who must be provided for. It is interesting to note the program oi the two societies devoted to the reform of prison life in Great Britain. In all essential work their aims are identical The policy of the Howard Association is to improve prison life in every way, or, to quote from its published pamphlet: "To arouse and develop the manhood or womanhood of a prisoner, all healthy and refining influences should be brought to bear. Personal cleanliness and habits of self-respect should be encouraged in every way, clothes should not be hideous ana illfitting, the surroundings (whih plain and simple) should, be bright and elevating, and work that is really useful and educative rshould be provided. Above all, human intercourse with the right sort of persons should be encouraged in every possible way, and endeavors should be made to interest the prisoners in things that elevate and refine by lectures, .discussions, music, singing, and the like." "Prison," says the Howard Association, should always be the last resort," and it therefore recommends the development of methods other than prison, particularly for the young; the extension of the probation system with properly trained and paid officers and enforcement ot that clause of the Act of 1914, tha time should be given for the payment of fines. In cases of fraud and theft the magistrate should try and enforce compensation by installment, as is done in cases of civil debt, and this would serve to supply the element ot deterrence, often felt to be lacking in the system of probation. The Penal Reform League if equally insistent upon the great necessity for improving the personnel of prisons, and urges the appointment of women as trained nurses, stewards, etc., and .Jo the higher posts in women! prisons." At present neither the conditions of work or the pay of prison officials are good. The abolition of punishment of warders has long been advanced by the Penal Reform League and is now under consideration by the Home Office. It is obvious that an officer' who requires punishment is unfit for his- post. The league also advocates the abolition of ad
