Saving should be above all systematic and purposeful. Systematic in that you set aside a definite sum at definite intervals. Purposeful in that you save for a definite object.

Repre sentatives of the United States Public Health Service co-operated with the specialists of the Department of Agri culture in making the studies. The systems adopted by the several States are discussed and recommendations are made for the achievement of greater efficiency In operation of the convict camps and conduct of the road works The systems of convict labor are classified In the report as lease, con tract and piece price systems, under which the labor of convicts Is for the benefit of private Individuals or corpor ations, often in the manufacture of commodities; the public account sys tem, under which the convict-made goods are sold by the State! the State use system, under which goods are manufactured only for use in State institutions, and the public works and ways system, under which the labor of the convicts la devoted to public structure and roads. The latter system has grown In popularity, it is pointed out, because it makes use of the con vict labor with a minimum of com petition with free labor, contributes fairly lasting benefits to the whole community, affords healthful and even somewhat reformative employment to the convicts, and reduces congestion In penal Institutions, The most satis factory use of the system, In the opin ion of the department's road special ists, is under State rather than coun ty administration. Since 1885, the re port shows, the percentage of convicts in a larite number of representative institutions working under the public account, State-use and public works and ways systems, has Increased from 33 to 86 per cent., while the propor tion engaged In road work alone has increased from 1.3 per cent, to nearly 13 per cent. Convicts should not b® Indiscrimi nately put to work on roads. It is pointed out. Only those who are phy sically fit for the work should be em ployed. It may be even desirable and practicable In many Instances to re serve assignment to the open-air work as a reward for good behavior. Phy sically and by former mode of life, statistics cited In the report show, about three-fourths of the average male prison population is better fitted for out-door labor than for shop work. In practice, when all considerations are taken Into account, it has been found that from twenty-five to fifty per cent, of the male Inmates of pris ons are available for road work.
