Dr. Wines remarked, “I am not an anti-penologist, have no opinions to enforce. In the United States census there is opportunity to examine all the matter concerning prisoners. Each prison and reformatory was furnished with a complete case, to study fully before reply, and if the wardens also help give it, a more correct record can be made, and the Government take up all the matter, furnish the apparatus and the men to do the work.” Mrs. Deborah C. Leeds suggested a vote of recommendation of the Congress, that a “woman’s prison or reformatory” be established in every State, passed. COMPLIMENTARY RESOLUTIONS TO The Local Committee and the Young Men’s Christian Association for the delightful carriage ride, the newspapers, the Street Railway Company, the Old Stone Church, Rev. W. D. Pickard, D.D., for his admirable sermon, and Dr. S. B. Barrows for his paper on criminal law, were passed by a rising vote. It was stated that in Indiana Industrial School for Girls each one was kept separate, or cellular. In Massachusetts women are sent to jail, then to a reformatory, but if convicted more than twice are sent to prison. Rev. Dr. Pickard made some brief remarks, also Professor Henderson, and the Congress closed with singing the Doxology and Benediction, 5 P. M., Sept. 26, 1900.
