INCE Mr. Thomas Mott Osborne says he must give his thoughts S time to crystallize before undertaking to pronounce definitely | as to the value of his experiences in Auburn Prison, it will not be worth while for others to attempt to forestall him. The coinci- dence, however, of his return from the prison corresponding so exactly in point of time with the return of Joseph Knowles, a Boston , artist, from an equally voluntary experiment of life in the wilds of Maine, presents a comparative study that is not without interest at) the moment. | Mr. Osborne says of the prison: “Tt is an absolute slavery. It takes from the convict his own initiative and freedom of ection, he becomes an irresponsible automaton Mr. Knowles says of the forest: “The hardest thing of all was the awful lonesomeness, be- | cause of which I came near coming out twice, The isolation almost | drove me crazy.” If we were to accept these statements as conclusive, we should | condemn the freedom of the woods as more pernicious than the} confinement of the cell, for surely it is better to lose something of initiative than to become insane. Neither conélusion, however, is te be accepted. Fach is but a record of a personal temperament. In prisons thousands of men have had their minds sharpened and wills strengthened to the achievement of escapes that are almost, miracles. in the solitudes of deserts and woods other thousands, have found serenity and peace of mind that have cured them of distemper. The one clear moral seems to be that neither of the experi- menters was temperamentally filted for the experience he undertook. Mr. Osborne should have taken to the woods; Mr. Knowles would have been less crazy in Auburn. + Discovery by the Bureau of Municipal Research in its recent Inquiry into municipal schools that “children cannot be schooled ei ey do not come to school” provokes demand for further inquiry whether they are always schooled when they do come. SS ae A COMMON DUTY OF GOOD CITIZENS. HE appeal of the Fusion managers for contributions to the T campaign fund runs to the consciences as well as to the pock- ets of citizens. It is a summons to support a movement for an honest and economical city government. The issue of Fusion against Tammany is that of the general body of citizens against an organisation held together partly by tradition, partly by subservience and partly by hopes of participation in plunder obtained through the double process of overtaxation of the people and misuse or robbery of public funds. Tammany has many means of raising money. It can extort it if need be. Fusion has but the one way of direct appeal to the patriotism and loyalty of the supporters of good government. The appeal should not pase unheeded. Response to it should not be delayed. Every contributor, large or small, in proportion to his means, will have the satisfaction of knowing he is helping his city and doing something to advance the public welfare. It is the common duty of to-day. ' —_-++ When the police and the detectives have found a way to rid Chinatown of gambling without ridding it of Chinese, they should next seek out a way to rid the town of kittens without ridding it of cats, ot FIRE PREVENTION DAY. : Qi reneries of Fire Prevention Day on Thuraday might well enough be styled a festival of public instruction. Those that give heed to the lectures and to other forms of information through which a campaign of education on the subject is to be carried on will learn much of importance not to themselves only but to the city at large. Not least in value of this varied information will be that of Yearning where and how to report violations of the ordinances and rules designed to protect the city against the hazards of fire. No less | than three official bodies, the Fire Department, the Tenement House Department and the State Department of Labor, have jurisdiction over some phase of the common danger. Unless the scope of authority in each of these departments is understood, there is liable to be confusion in making reports, and dangerous delays of redress might follow in cases of emergency. Every householder and every tenant should post himself on these matters. In fact, there is no citizen nor resident who is not more or less concerned in the issues to be emphasized in the teach- | ings and observances of the day.
