MEETING OF COUNTY LIVESTOCK

A meeting of the Huron County

Clinton, on Thursday, November

was formed last April, is interested
in the constant improvement of live

WHAT THEY READ IN PRISON
Toronto Star Weekly
It is reported from the Kingston
penitentiary that the inmates, as a
class, are great readers. A few may
not read at all, but most of them
read a great deal, securing- books
from the library of the institution.
Fiction, of course, is in chief de
mand among readers in the prison
as out of
prisoners,
tion and
works of
it. About one-fifth of the
it is esteemed, scorn fic-
read almost exclusively
biography, history, travel,
and science. The schoolmaster of
the prison is quoted by the Kingston
Whib-Standard as saying that pris
oners after displaying a taste for
the lightest reading often show a
desire for the best in English liter
ature. ,
There is a possibility of course
that the influence of the school
master, may have something to do
with this switching of interest from
light fiction to serious reading.
Some prisoners more easily led than
others may turn to sound books and
some of them, of the confidence-,
man type, may profess intellectual
development in the hope of putting
something over on the officials.
There can be no doubt that the
prison population to today includes
fewer illiterates than formerly
a larger percentage of persons

while everybody is capable of read
ing tho law all are not disposed to
obey it. Some read it in
to discover how they can
get around it, go through
out getting caught. An
man who turns criminal’ is more of
a public menace titan the illiterate.
Evidently there is a real censor
ship of the reading matter of pris
oners. A certain magazine, once
popular, but now forbidden in the
place, had 129 articles delected from
it last year before prisoners could
lay hands on it. From another ma

last year especially—were

and how they''did it. No surprise
need be felt if prison officials con
sidered such reading matter quite

the young men in their charge and
keeping.
