The penal colony of Merxplas and the German free labour colonies have been a complete failure in this respect. Therefore it seems to me that the Depart mental Committee were wise in limiting their recommendation to quasi-penal colonies for habitual vagrants to begin with. But in the establishment and management of such colonies there is a great deal to learn from the Swiss system, and thus Mr. Kelly's clear description of it is of very great value, and I hope that it may find a large circle of readers. I am sure that it is of great help in the solution of one of the most difficult problems of the present day.
