CONCERTS IN GAOL

New Influence on the

Convict's Life.

It is a year si ce English pri- sons, with the authority of the Home Office, began to expariment ia lectures and concerta for pri- soners as one step towards he- manising their life in gaol. Some thing of the kind had been done in a spismodic sort of war for several years. At Strangeways, for instance, lectures and concert have been given on and off since the days of Mr. Churchill's Home Secretaryship. But when the seal of official sanction was given to the work twelve months ago the efforts were sparematised, and they are now recognised as an integral part of prison rule.

A sketch of the programme fol lowed at Strangeways was given to a rapresentative of the Mun chster Guundin by the Governor, Major H. FitzClarence.

On the first Monday of every month there is a lectore for

women.

On the first Friday of very manth there is a lecture for "long- ente ce" prisoners.
