cite* a large accumulation ot
proving beyond u doubt the wi-
of these chiiniren and the ncisl
Cm* an immediate effort toward amcli

It will lie remembered that the

NEW METHODS NEEDFD
"What shall we do about it nil T * *

"Texas needs new methods <i| deal

of training them; in tart, a prisoi
system new from sturt to linisli,
thouifh it niHV take n nuiiiber ot yrui
to encompass it.
"Our present farms do not lend
themselves to this n. w system.
We need one central penal . ninny
located within reasonable .listam-r
from a town or city if jiossiblc near
a medical center and above all n<-
eessible by road and railron.l so that
