A resolution wa« al.'.o adopted, reqiiestin^ the Prisonoi'S' Aid Asst^iciation of (Jana^ia to appoirU a delegfttion to wait upon Sir John Thompson, Minister of Justice, to j>reflent the views of the (Jonference with legard to the need of a Dominion Jleformatory for young men— first offenders, and also with regard to the evil« resulting from the conflict of authority, with regard to the pardoning power, between the Dominifm and the Provincial Governments. In accofdancn with this resolution, a deputation, consiKting of Mr. VV. H. Howland, ex-Mayor of Toronto, and Mr. J. W Langmuir, late chairman of the Prison Reform Commission, waited upon Sir John Thompson, at Ottawa, on the lird of last July. The following letter from Mr. Langmuir gives the result of this interview :■— " Dear Dr. RosKimiuiH : — "1 have your letter of the l^th ijist., in respect to Prison Reform matters. Seeing that tlie Minister of Justice has signified his approval of the Comraissionera' recommendation for the establishment of a Dominion Reformatory for first offenders, 1 snicerely hope that ho will now see his way to ask an appropriation at the corning Sea sion of Parliament for the erection of the necessary buildings. If "Both Mr. Howland and I were greatly pleased to learn at our interview with Sir John Thompgon, that he approved of the (yomiuissioners' recoimnendation that the pardoning, parol ing and apprenticing power, in reformatories for youthf, Hhould l)e placed in the hands of »he Provincial (Government, and exercised by them without the intervention of the Dominion authorities. If this change in the Dominion law is effected, it will be of vital 'mportance that the supervision and oversight of youths sent out on probation from the reformatories should be exercised with great tact and diacre tion. While tuat shonlt! •• done in the roost «'fl'ective manner, still it would be a most aiifortunate thing if such duties were performed under a c cera vf off' Jbive espionage *' I think if the Prisor Tb Aid Association is suthciently large in Hs memt)erahir and extends pretty wid»»ly over the Province, that the organi/iation could very effectively under, take the supervision of youths sent out on probation ; at any rate the idea is a vn^y good one, but the deiails of the plan would reijuire to b;> most carefully consid^^red. ■•* Now that the Dominioa (Jovernment is moving m the mat ter of Prison Reform, I hope that th endorsed the ten resolutions adopted by said Conference, and, in the case of a large number^ a memorial to that effect was forwarded both to the Hon. Sir John Thompson, Mir'ster of Justice, and to Hon. Sir Oliver Mowat, Attorney-General of Ontario With one exception, this was also done by all the churches represented at the Conference, as well as by tho Dominion W. C. T. Union. Under date of December 7th, a note was sent to Sir Oliver Mowat, Attorney-General, asking if it would be convenient for him to receive a delegation from the Prison Refonn Con- ference on Tuesday, the 13th inst., and if so, if it would suit his convenience to meet the delegation in the oiiiee of the Minister of Education, Educational Buildings. The Attorney General stated in reply that his other engagements on the day of the Conference, would not admit of his attendance at the Educational Buildings, but that he could see a deputation at his departmental office, at 3 p.m., on the 13th inst. By mutual consent, this hour was afterwards changed to 1.45 p.m. TflK CHAIRMANVS ADI)RE88. The Chairman exprcfssed his r-givt that tho Hon. 8. 1(. Rlake, the President of the E'risouers' Aid Association, who should have occupied the chair on this occasion, had been compelled to leave the city last, night. He congratulated the Conference on the outlook for the cause of Prison Reform in the coming year. Never Viefore, in his experience, had the prospect been so encouraging NTever before had there been so deep and general an interest in the subject manifested through the Province. To the zeal and persistent eHbrts of the Prisoners' Aid Association was largely due the appoint- ment by th<' Government of Ontario of the Prison Reform Commissioners in 1890. Their able and exhaustive report laid before the Uovernment in April, 1^91, had given a marked impetus to the good work. The recommendations of the Commissioners formulated clearly and succinctly the needs and requirements of tho Province in every branch of this many sided and most important subject, and especially in the treatment of juvenile otl'enders, and the prevention of crime. To carry out these recommendations, legislation on many points was needed both at Ottawa and Toronto, and the (iovernment at both places had been urged to introduce the needful measures ; but so far nothing had been done. The Prison Conference held here in November, last year, had, in a series of resolutions, heartily endorsed the great bulk of the resolutions of the Commissioners, and the resolutions of the Conference were cordially approved by the courts of all tlie churches assembled during the year in Ontario, as also by a large number of representative lay societies. Everywhere through the Province there was an entire consensus of opinion I (, I i' 10 in their favor. Tn view of this consensus of feeling, the (lovernment at Ottawa and Toronto can hardly withhold any longer the much-desired legislation, To demand this legisla- tion at their hands is the bu.sin«ss of the hour for the friends of Prison Reform in Ontario. REPORTS FROM DELEGATES. A number of the delegates reported that during the year the bodies they represented had adopted resolutions favoring the Prison Reform movement, and that copies of thewe reso- lutions had been forwarded to the Minister of Justice at Ottawa, and to the Attorney-(ieneral at Toronto ; and that in said resolutions the recommendations of the Prison Reforin Commissioners were fully endorsed, as well as the resolutions that were adopted at the last Prison Hefoi-ni Oonference. I '1 RESOLUTrONS. I f The following resolutions were adopted at the morning session : , ' Moved by J. G. Hodgins, L.L.I)., seconded by Hon. (r. W. Allan, .

We would also strongly favor a. government grant suf.icjent to enable the PriBon- ers' Aid AnsHOciatiou to establish Bran* hes in the cities and towns of the pr«>vince. ( anied. Moved l>y Mr. A. F.

At I 45 p.u)., about twenty -tive niemljers of the Conference waited upon the Attorney General at his departmental office, the Provincial Secretary being also present. The Chairman introduce;! the delegates and handed Sir Oliver Mowat a copy of the Resolutions adopted at the Conference in the forenoon. He said that while he shared the feeling of diaappointnient, expresssd in the resolutions, at the tardiness of the Federal and Home Governments in introducing the legislation required to give eftect to the rejoaimen lations of the Prison Coininissioners ; he was aware of the difticulties which both Goverments must experience in introducing satisfactory mea?3ures on such a large and im- portant matter. He reminded the Premier of Ontario of his assurances that he would lay the necessary measures before the Legislature so soon as he was satisfied that the recommenda- tions of the Commissioners met with the general approval of the people of Ontario. That fact was ineontesuxbly established by the work of the past year. The bulk of the recommenda- tions of the Commissioners were heartily endorsed in a series of resolutions passed last year at a large Prison Conference, held in this city in November, and these resolutions were cordially approved by all the Church Committees and lay associations wliich met in Ontario during the year. (He here read a long list of the church and other societies which had adopted the resolutions.) In view of these facts, the Chair- man felt convinced, that the Government of Ontario would see their way to introduce the needful legislation into the Ontario Legislature at the earliest moment. In so doing the Government might feel assured that they were carrying out .18 the well-considered wishes of the great niajority of the intelli- gent minds of all religious denominations in the Province. The Attorney General was also addressed by Rev. J J McCann, V.G , Rev. Dr. Putts, and Rev. Thos. Geoghegan ; and also by Hon. G. W. Allan, (the latter representing the Diocese of Toronito of the (./hurch of England in Canada) — urging the Government to introduce the necessary legislation at the coining sesssion, with a view to giving full effect to the recommendations of the Prison Commissioners. Aptbrnoon Session. The Conference reassembled at .'i p.m., when the Chair- man reported the result of the interview with the Attorney General, stating that he had assured them that he and his government felt the deepest interest in the subject of Prison Reform, that they had given the recommendations of the Commissioners their early and careful consideration ; that he had endeavoured last session to introduce the necessary legis- lation to give to the recommendatioTis full effect, but had found it impossible to do so in time. He confidently hoped, however, that the n«iedful legiiiilation would be adopted in the legislature next session. He referred to the difficulty the goyernment had experienced in dealing with the County Municipal (Jouncils in these matters, and urged the necessity of taking steps to secure their co-operation in this important work. . ! . A discussion took place as to the legislation necessary by the Dominion Government so as to give etfect to the proposed local legislation, and it was decided that the members of the deputation to the Attorney-General to-day, and a representa 14 tive from each of the ditferent asaociations ropiesented at the Conference, (to be appointed by Dr. Iloaebrugh), be a committee to wait upon Sir John Thompson during hia coming visit to Toronto, to urge upon him to introduce into the Dominion Parliament without delay all necessary Prison Reform legiala tion. The Conference endorsed the action of the Prisoners' Aid Association in communicating with the County < ouncils urging the proposed prison reforms, and requested the Secretary to communicate with all the County Councils of the Province, calling their attention to the recoratnendations of the Prison Reform Commission, and that these recom men- tions had been endorsed by this Prison Reform (Conference, composed of delegates from all the churches of the Province and from thirty-two other representative public bodies. The Conference also endorsed the action of the Prisoners' Aid Association in asking the cooperation of the County I'nions of the W C. T, U, in the cau.se of Prison Reform. Tlie Conference was closed with prayer by Rev. C. L. Ingles. DELEGATES. The following ih a list ok thk Deleciatks in attbnoangb. Dominion Delegates. Dominion Alliance — W. H. Orr, Rev. Wm.

The chairman .said that he regretted extremely the un- looked for absence of the Hon. S. H. Rlake, the IVesidont of the Association, which deprived tliem of the eloquent address they would, no doubt, have had from him. He thought that he might safely congratulate the Associatiorv upon the outlook for the cause of Prison Reform in Ontario during the coming yuM- For upwards of forty years he 'had taken a deep interest in the work of Prison Reform, -for ten years of that 19 Is It time as an Inspector of Asylums and Prisotis for Canada, and never before, in his opinion, were the prospects of great and important irnprovementK in every branch of priijon administra- tion so encouraging as they are to-day. Never before had siK'h a deep and wide spread interest been manifested in t!ie subject throughout the whole province. The churches o^ all denominations had taken an active and earnest part in the di.scusnon of the subject at their annual meetinjfjs, and the most important and representative lay organizations and societies had also manifestod a warm interest in the matter. The puVilication of the report of the Prison lleform Commis- sioners laiii before the country in April last year, had, no doubt, largely contributed to this awakening of the public mind to the great need for improvement in ou' present system, especially as regards the treatment of juvenile offen- ders and the prevention of crime. The well considered and \ery practical recommendations of the Prison (.\nnmisi=iion (discussed in detail and heartily endorst/cl by the Prison Con- ference held here in November last year) were submitted to, and approved by, the ecclesiastical courts of all the religious bodies which met throughout the year in t>ntario--and were also ably discussed and heartily endorsed by the press through out the country. Everywhere they met with a loud chorus of approval The legislation neces.^ary at Ottawa and Toronto to give effect to these recommendations had, unfortunately, not yet been p.assed, but he thought they might count upon the needful measure.^ being introduced in both the Federal and Local Legislatures during th«M;oming sessions, To ensure such legislation should be the great object of the Association at the present moment. ■^ !

T n REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS. ■«■ i ■a J.' ! ■^h It is with sorrow that we are called upon to record the death during the year of a former secretary and fellow-worker, Mr. Samuel E. Roberts. For several years Mr. Roberts was Sup«iiiit,endent of the Sunday School at the County Gaol, and no officer could have been more punctual in his attendance or more zealous in the work. While connected with this school his motto seemed to be, " This one thing I do." During the last two or throe years he has Vteen unable to take any active part in the work, owing partly to bad health and partly to his removal to the suburbs. V^erily, he will receive the glad wel- come, " I was sick and in prison, and ye visited me." During the year the Sunday Schools have been conducted as usual at the Central Prison, at the Mercer Reformatory and at the Gaol, and without a single interruption. The Ministerial Association still supplies the preaching service at the Prison and at the Reformatory, and we note with pleasure that during the year very few have failed to keep their ap- p(»intment8. The prison reform movement has made some progress since the meeting of the Conference a year ago. A deputation con sisting of Messrs. W. H. Howland, ex May.(m>BKU NT, ISIH, TO SKPTKMHKK .{Oth, lHi»2.

For the year just ended there have been sixty-three enrolled in the first Primer ; forty six in the second Primer, and fifty five in the second Reader ; and the average attend- ance for the year is over forty. Of the sixty three admitted to the first primer class, thirty-nine (or about 62 per cent.) II II 30 H were unable to read or write These being admitted to the school from week to weeii, require special attention at first, and it lias beea found necessary to manage the first class very largely by individual teaching. The results, in nearly every case, have been most encouraging and satisfactory. The school is held on Wednesday and Friday evenings for the first and second classes, and during the past year school has been held ninety five evenings for tliese classes. The Warden, Mr. Massie, and the Deputy Warden, Mr. Logan, deserve praise for the interest they take in the work, and for the willing and cheerful assistance they have rendered. The guards also have rendered valuable assistance, especially guards Heid and Hartley, v\ho havt^ the more immediate charge of the men attending tlie school. Thanking the Association for the kind attention given to the school, und for the liberal supplies provided, I am, Very respectfully yours, J. H. Madden, Aumstanf Teacher, C P. N. S. Toronto, (October r>tli, 18KPAItTMBNT. It affords me pleasure to present von with the Annual Report of tho School at the ( Vntral Prison. The School is held on four evenings of the week, the Senior classes on Tues- day and Thursday evenings iiein^ unMl JM . 34 t bat thf? work of the institution and its officers, combined with the work of the Sunday school and the loving sympathy of the teachers, are effecting a real reduction in the number of female rfTenders against law and morality, for which we thank nod and take oourag<\ We huve also to express our strong conviction that the new work recently undertaken by the Prisoners' Aid Society, namely, in emp] )ying a Bible woman to visit the Reformatory and to obtain situations for the women, visit them and keep tra'^V of them after they are sent out, and providing them with '» RTrnpio sh'Uter where they can remain for two or three days VI. ^". ou< of ;v sjdrvtion, or to which they can come to as a home oi; ;,iuii- evoi\ings out, has been of very great benefit to these unfo- tui;ates, the value of which can scarcely be estimated. We desire to express our thanks to Mrs O'lieilly and Mrs. Coad, and all the officers of the Refornmtory, for their ■sympathy, kindness and practical help in all our work. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. H. UOWLANO, Superintendent, Mrs. T. F. Chamberlain, fjady Superintendenf., P:. \. Sams, Sficmtfirn, :\:> THE LOxVDON BRAxXCH OF TIIK PKI80NER.S' AID ASSOCIATION OF (JANADA. On the 24th of October, 1890, a prelimiuaiy meeting was held in the parlor of the Y. M. 0. A., Victoria Hall, London, Ontario, for tiie purpose of taking into consideration the ad visibility of forming a Branch in London, of the Pris- oners' Aid Association of Canada. The gentlemen present were the Kovg. ^Messrs. Rogers, Spellar and Ballantyne, and Messrs. W. Bou-man, Arnold, H. E. Nelles and Chas. Hutch inson. Other meeting.s were subsequently held, with the same object in view and eventually it was determined to call a public meeting of the citizens of London, in the City Hall, to which Mr. W. H. Howland, of Toronto, and other gentlemen of experience in prison work, should be invited and a consti- tution submitted for consideration and approval. Accordingly the meeting was held in the City Hall, on the I8th December, 1890, George Taylor Esq., Mayor, in the chair, when Mr. VV. H. Howland explained the working of the Association in Toronto, and the benefits that had accrued to many prisoners during their imprisonment and afrin- their discharge. Resolutions were then submitted to the meeting and car ried, adopting a constitution for the Branch Association, and an Executive Committee was appointed, from among whom the officers of the Association should be selected. Subsequently Mr. Thos. McCormick was chosen President 36 and Mr F. W, Matthews, Vice-President, and the work of the Association was entered upon resolutely and hopefully. Since then Sunday morning services of prayer and praise, with scripture readings have been regularly held in the jail, at which Mr. F. W. Matthews, Mr. CIdy, Mr. Samuel Grigg and other warm-hearted friends have been active in their earnest efforts for the spiritual good of the prisoners. This is in addition to the regular Sunday afternoon preach- ing services supplied by the Ministerial Association. Tb'O question which seems most urgent and in which a FrifiC.v, - j' Aid Association should be most vitally interested is (while not excluding crime-hardened criminals) in a great icteajL -pi c itive or remedial in its character, dealing with those, either just entering upon or not far advanced in a crim- inal career. Youthful offenders, of whom there are unfortunately many, have been the particular care of kind friends of the Association. Not only is employment needed suitable to the age and capacity of the boy or young man sought to be bene- tited, but he should be placed amid such environments as would be likely to encourage and uphold him on the path of well doing. For the very young, industrial schools, such as established at Mimico, would probably supply the best remedy, and if such a school could be started in London, for the sur- rounding counties, the advantage would be almost incalcuable and many bright young lads now drifting to destruction might be saved from utter ruin. For older lads and young men, a Refuge or Prison Gate Home, such as is contemplated by our Association, would prol»ably answer the purpose better than anything approaching to the character of a prison, while 37 the influence which would be brought to bear upon the inmates of such a home would He infinitoly more beneficial. Annie Hutchinson, Secretary of the London Branch of the Prisoners' Aid A$so- cintion. We desirf) to see Branches of the Prisoners' Aid Association established in every city and town of this province. We believe a small government grant to enable us to do this would be a wise expenditure of public money. The establishment of Branch Associations could very materally aid the cause of Prison Reform, by awakening a more general interest in the cause and especially in securing the CO operation of the County Councils. As a result of the establishment of these Branches, we would expect very shortly to see in etich County, or group of Counties, a Poor House and an Industrial S>:hool, and, in every County Gaol, fitting work for all able bodied prisoners, efticient classification and a good library. Each Branch As.sociation would also see that religious services are conducted statedly in the County Gaol, and that practical aid and sympathy be extended vO discharged prisoners. Branch As.sociations could also find homes for and take the general supervision of all destitute, depended, and wayward children '^mm:. ■M> 38 PRISON REFORM PRINCIPLES. The following eleven principles of Prison Reform were adopted by the Prisoners' Aid Association of Canada four years ago, and were endorsed at the Toronto meeting of the Provincial Prison Reform Con erence held three years ago. By adding compulsory education and the Massachusetts Probation System, these eleven principles may still be regarded as comprising the reforms for which we are contending. They may in fact be taken as an epitome of the 46 " Recommendations" of the Ontario Prison Reform Commission. 1. County Jails should be maintained only as places of detention for persons charged with offences and awaiting trial, and should not be used for prisoners after trial and conviction. 2. County Jails should be conducted strictly on the separate or eel lular system. , 3. Persons convicted of c.ime should not be detained in county jails, but should bo dealt with acconling to the age and natural proclivities of the criminal. 4. A boy under fourteen years of age, not previouslj' vicious, should be restored to his parents ujK)n their giving a guai-antee of his future good conduct. Failing this he should be sent to an Industrial School or preferably placed out in a respectable family by a probation officer 6. A boy under sixteen years of age, having a natural tendency toward crime, or being convicted of a second ofience, should be sent either to a Reformatory direct, or to an Industrial School on trial, according to circumstances ; and a special court should be organized to deal with these cases, as well as with females charged with light offences. A boy should never be brought to open Police Court, nor be sent to a County Jail. (i. Industrial Schools and Reformatories should not be considered as places for punishment, but should be utilized wholly for the reforma tion of character. The young persons sent to these institutions should oot be conmiitted for any definite period, but they should be detained until reformation is attained, iri*«sp«otive uf the time required. The 1 I ! I ' ! 1 39 officers of these institutions should bo cftrefully seloi.ted, proferably by » system of examination any the county jails, the necessity arises for prisoiis and reformatories of ample dimensions, where such e'mploy ment can be provided, and where other inHuences of u refonnatory o.hara<-ter may 1^ utilized, and where a system of olassiHcation may be «'arried out. «. The expense and maintenance of such p<.rson8 in such institution^^ should be borne by tiie county from which thev are sent, when such expense exceeds the proceeds .>f the industrial labor of the persons so sent. 9. Tramps and hal>itual drunkards nlumld l>e sent to an institution where they can be ])rovided with productive industrial employment, and where tliey can be brought under reformatory inHuences, and they should be detained in said institution under indetermiiuite sentences. Incorrigibles should be sent to penitentiary for life. They should be considered as having forfeite.i all right to regam their liberty, unless reformation takes place. JO. In order to meet the requirements of the case, there should be sufficient prison accommodation in Ontario to relieve the county jails of all persons undergoing sentence. There should be unificatio.Un our prison system. The prisons should be graded, and the reformatory principle, in its most improved form and after the best models, should be incorpoiated with said system. n. The question of prison labor should be removed from the arena of party politics, and members of labor organizations should look at this question from a patriotic rather than from a trades standpoint. In prisons and penetentiaries there sliould be a diversity of indus tries so as to reduce the competition with r,utsidc labor to a minimum. A M ROSEBRUGH, M.D.. TORONTO.
