The world is beginning to open its eves to the fact long known to the thinkers that much of our lawlessness is a resultant, the effect of causes often possible to determine with ac- curacy. Sometimes it is the result of environment, sometimes of diseasec sometimes of ignorance, sometimes the result of that dangerous thing called “a little knowledge.” Often if the cause or re removed the result, crime, prevented. Warden Osborne of Sing Sing has carried this knowledge, with the addition of much more insight, into the administration of one of our greatest prisons. He has revolutionized the institution. He has established there an office for the study of the causes which led every man there to commit his lawless act He expects to remove the causes in many cases and return the men in question to society with assurance that afterward they will lead law-abiding lives. Already he has made notable achievements in this work. He has proved many times that it is practical. Mr. Oshorne is the pioneer in this field of work in our great civil prisons. Hawever, along comes Major Sedg- Wick Rice, commandant of the army diseiplinary barracks at Lort Leaven- worth, reporting to the adjutant general: “T think it just that it should be brought to your attention and, with your approval, to the attention of the public,” savs Major Rice, “that Sing Sing Is not the first institution to have established an office for the study of each prisoner admitted. “We have had since August, 1914, a department of this institution capable of doing and actually doing the work outlined as intended at the New York | institution.
