PRISONERS AND ESPERANTO
• — « "At Auckland prison, an Esperanto class was recently established under a prisoner who had studied the modern international language by correspondence with a well-known and philanthropic Esperantist at Wellington." states the annual repdrt upon the prisons of tho Dominion. "The improvement in the mental outlook of the prisoner referred to. after a course of intensive study of this subject, has been so patent and pronounced that the administration felt Justified in carrying the experiment further. The need for an intelligent outlook for the prisoners in 6ome definite direction has been keenly felt for stme time past, and tho timoly aid of the gentleman referred to has enabled the Department to find a vent for the stiflled intellectual aspirations of some of the long-sonten -e prisoners, whoso drab existence was formerly unrelieved by any outside interests. The process of this. our latest experiment, will bo watched with considerable interest."
