Ordinarily about 40 or 50 convicts go "up the river" every day. But last week New York Central employees noticed a sudden burst of activity. Between 90 and 110 crooks per day were getting off at Sing Sing, and the strange part of it was, all of them seemed cheerful, anxious to reach their destination. It seemed almost like a stampede for incarceration-and that is what...

...Probably no better evidence of an improved atmosphere in the School could be offered than the records of the library itself, which show that there was in 1922-23 a sudden increase of nearly 40 per cent in the number of books, periodicals and pamphlets drawn out from the library as compared with the previous years and the number in 1924-25 was over 97 per cent greater than in 1921-22 or any previous year. Not all of this is due to the new methods, but that the major part of it is, seems reasonably clear...
