1906] LECTURE. 63 



The punishments are given with great carefulness and in a 

 way that tends to discipline. Much time is given to individ- 

 ual work with each person. Not a single week passes that I do 

 not see two-thirds of my women individually. I often send 

 for them to come to me and have talks with them. Conformity 

 to the rules of the institution must be brought about, the pun- 

 ishment is governed by the gravity of the offense. No mis- 

 demeanor is ever passed by unnoticed. I sometimes make 

 them feel that only a little thing is grave, and in this way avoid 

 many greater punishments. It may be by a loss of marks or by 

 meals in her room. 



Great tact and good judgment are required in handling the 

 women, and a person must be gentle yet firm.
