The Agnes 'Mac- Phail Memorial Scholarship Fund, Sponsored by the Society, will be used to establish scholarships at Canadian schools of social work for students who wish to work in the field of probation and rehab- ilitation' of prisoners, or when a Chair of Penology is set up, for students who wish to study in that department. The goal of the Elizabeth, Fry Society has been. well .chosen. " It will carry on, Agnes Macphail's inspired crusade for prison reform, The country girl from Grey County was the first woman to be elected to the House of Commons and held that seat from 1921 to 1940.' Dur- ing that time and until her death, Agnes Macphail' never •flagged„ in her valiant struggle for more hu- mane conditions in Canadian pris- ons. Nor did she everlose sight of the personal responsibility she felt for the welfare of these for- gotten people. It is significant that after her passing, the inmates of Kingston Penitentiary honored Agnes ,Mac- phail ,as the, first person to bring about changes within those walls, and that the inmates of Oakalla Prison Farm, in British Columbia, mourned the death of a beloved and great Canadian lady. The Elizabeth F.ry Society has long striven to bring human dig- nity and justice within the walls of our Canadian prisons, Agnes Mac- phail would be proud of their achievement, and she would be humble. It would `seem fitting that this society, dedicated to im- proving Canadian prisons ,i and to the rehabilitation of womenprison- ers, should carry on the crusade of Canada's first, lady of penal re- form. Contributions may be sent to the Agnes, Macphail Memorial Scholarship Fund, 344 Jarvis St., Toronto.
