During the past summer Assistant
Prof. Preston E. James of the geogra-
phy department completed the field
work of a regional survey of the
Blackstone Valley in Massachusetts 1
and Rhode Island: This research prob-
lem was undertaken in connectionI
with a series of similar surveys of
typical areas in New England spon-
sored by the Clark School of Geogra-
phy, at Worcester, Mass. Professor
James was assisted by Charles Crit-
tenden, a graduate student in the de-
partment of geography. The Black-
stone Valley is the site of a prosper-
ous textile industry, being marked in
its 40 miles of length by a number of
small mill towns.
Included Large Area.
Prof. James' study included an area
along the valley and the bordering
upland of either side about 40 miles
long and four or five miles wide.
While mill towns with their more com-
plex lifeare found stringing down the
valley 'bottom, the upland remains a
hay and pasture land, with milk and
cream as the chief products. Old colo-
nial farm houses, small hay fields or
pastures inclosed by stone walls of
Srounded glacier boulders, or unused
brush lands and scrub forest occupy
the uplands, where one seems to find
a world apart, in the greatest contrast
to the bustle and activity of the val-
ley below.
Two field seasons were required to
complete the field work in this area.
During the first season a reconnais-
sance survey was made, on which the
chief divisions of the area were
mapped out. Areas of forests and of
cleared crop or pasture land were rec-
ognized. The urban areas were set off
from the rural districts. Generalized
?maps were drawn showing the extent
of fairly level upland, of valley bottom,
and of steeper intermediate slopes.
Surface Maps ade.
During the second field season, just
completed, 10 typical square-mile
units were chosen for detailed investi-
gation gMaps of surface, soil, land use,
buildings, and roads were constructed
on a scale of six inches to the mile.
The farms or cities in these type stud-.
ies were investigated in detail.
In addition to the field work, the
course of settlement and development
in the Blackstone was studied from
town to town, histories and records,
and from old maps and surveys of the
region. Professor James plans to com-
plete the work during the coming win-
ter. He will make a report to the As-
socation of, American Geographers at
its December meeting.
KANSAS--Final plans for a newl
Natural Science building are now ne-
ing completed.

an of the liquor was added to his'
of crimes, making a total of five
onies, so that the judge was ob-
d to sentence the man, to life Im-
sonment. "Although the occasion
final conviction was not in itself
erving of a sentence of life im-
sonment, the man's crimesbefore
alast conviction slow him to be a
>itual criminal of the very type the
v law proposes to protect society
inst," stated Professor Shartel.
It must be borne in mind that for
ry conviction of a criminal for a
ony, the chances are that the man,
s committed several crimes without


being caught. The difficulty in fixing
the crime upon the proper person, of
bringing the accused to trial, and of
getting a jury to convict a man on the
evidence offered is so great that r+l-
atively few criminals of the habitual
type are convicted for every offense."
Professor Shartel remarked that
the new Michigan criminal code, as
passed by the recent state legislature,
was a pattern of the Baumes law of
New York, which also provides life im-
prisonnent or capital punishment for
criminals convicted for the fourth
time ofserimus .rimes.
