Dr. Frank Williams, Medical Director, of the Committee on Mental Hygiene, told a conference of representatives of hospitals, asylums, and schools on the subject of crime and its prevention that operating tables should be used for crime correction in place of prison cells.

Dr. Overholzer said that the day of vindictive justice was past. This was due in part to the spread of linmimitarianism.
