To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Shall we deny these youths the greatest blessing given to humanity — discipline ? Punish them, you say. My friend, you cannot confer moral worth with stripes. Longer terms of imprison- ment ! They will eat your food, lie in your beds, and make themselves as comfortable as possible. Like animals, they will " nestle down. " But they behave themselves in prison. Ay, they do that, for they want all the advantages they can obtain. But they behave themselves principally because they are under authori...ty, and obedience means to them some creature comfort. Discipline ! They understand it only when it is compulsory. Let us give these lads a chance ; let us make up to them the loss society has inflicted on them by refusing them opportunities of wholesome discipline ; let us stop for ever the senseless round of short terms of imprisonment ; let us find some method for giving them lengthened — wholesome manual and technical training — for their OAvn sakes, if you will ; if not, then for our own.
