About This Book

Presented at the fifty-first congress of the American Prison Association in 1921, this paper defines and examines what was referred to as the Vermont Prison Labor Law, which allowed a person sentenced to jail to work for a salary. It details the conditions surrounding this law, and argues that most prisoners need care and guidance more than punishment. Printed with Employment for Jail Prisoners in Wisconsin by Hornell Hart.

About This Book

This book, published in 1920, examines a then-recent phenomenon of combining educational material and presentations with transportation facilities: the putting of exhibits, demonstrations, films, and other campaigning equipment on railroad trains, trolley cars, and motor trucks so that they may tour a large area of land. These vehicles were used to teach health, sanitation, and safety. Presented here is a review of these practices, with commentary by the author, aiming to stimulate the creation of new forms of illustrative material.

MARY SWAIN ROUTZAHN was director at the Department of Social Work Interpretation of the Russell Sage Foundation.
