Excerpt from Prison Methods in New York State: A Contribution to the Study of the Theory and Practice of Correctional Institutions in New York State

The present volume contains fourteen of the twenty-four Chapters of the study, selected because of their more general nature and possible interest to a wider circle Of readers. The ten chapters omitted followed chapter two, and com prised a fairly detailed history of all the types of penal institutions in this State, their origin, growth, and present status. Those interested may find the omitted part in the seventy-fifth annual report of the Prison Association Of New York.

Especial obligations of the writer are due to Miss Lilian Brandt for constructive criticism and constant encourage ment through the many difficulties. Of the task; to Dr. Kate Holladay Claghorn for critical comment that helped keep the larger subject in sight through the maze of detail and petty facts, and for being a friend in need to Dr. O. F. Lewis for the generous discussion contributed as a result of his own researches, for a critical revision of the fact basis, and helpful correction Of diction; to Miss Martha E. Phillips and Miss Katherine Z. Wells Of the research department of the New York School of Philanthropy for a variety of helpful services on all occasions. My obligations to Pro fessor Samuel ~mocune Lindsay include not only suggestions in the text, aid in preparation for the press and in reading proof, but also the very appearance Of the contribution, de spite almost insuperable difficulties which his interest alone overcame.
