Warden Haskell Here to Get
Penitentiary supply.
The List Includes Primers and
First Readers.
LITTLE INSTRUCTION.
Only One Day Of School With
Convict Teachers.
Will Ask That Better Provisions
Be Made.

Warden Haskell, Of the state peniten-
tiary. is in Topeka today to buy books
for the state penitentiary school. which
VIII start it's winter session next Sun
dag.
Under the present arrangement, the
school is conducted only on Sundays.
Il want to arrange things with the next
legislature said Warden Haskell, so
that We can have an appropriation for
e night school at the prison. A night
school is something which is much
needed. In a night school we could
really give the inmates Of the prison
lot of valuable instruction, and accom-
plish much more than we are able 10
accomplish in our Sunday school. The
cost Of the night school would not be
heavy, either
There. are a great many of the people
who go to prison who can not read or
write, and the school is especially in
tended to teach the rudiments, The
following is a list of the books which
Warden Haskell purchased today while
in Topeka:
Thirty-six primers; 100 spoilers; 50
first readers; so second readers; 40 third
readers; 40 fourth readers; 80 hftn
readers; 60 primary Biographies; z ad-
vanced biographies; 60 elementary
gramnars; p complete grammars; 90
mental arithmetics; 100 elementary
arithmetics; 100 advanced arithnetics;
so histories. 70 civil governments "a
English litera lures; u algebras.
The school at the prison is taught
by convicts." said Warden Haskell to-
day, in speaking of the work being
done along educational lines. I'VE al
ways have plenty Of convicts in the in
stitution who have taught school at
some time in their career. Several OF
our prisoners are university men and
highly educated. The higher branches
are taught by these men.
Most of the prisoners are willing
to attend the school and get all the
benefit out of it they can. But We do
not require attendance except from
those who are unable to read and write
with some degree Of proficiency. The
ones who are absolutely devoid of edu-
cation are required to attend the
| school. and those who are not, can at
tend If they wish.
I'VE have only a few who care to go
into the higher branches, as is shown
by the fact that I will order only -
algebras. It will require Sc primers
for the most elementary students, and
this includes some of the older men at
the prison. OF course We cant make
man learn unless he wants to, but
believe in giving prisoners an oppor-
tunity to improve their minds If they
/ desire

SILVER A PUZZLE.
Treasury OFFICIALS Can't Understand
Upward Trend OF Prices.

Washington. D. c., Oct. 3.-The up-
ward movement in the price of silver
is the most interesting problem now
confronting the officials of the treas
ury department. How far It Will go
and what effect the rise will have on
the monetary situation in this country
and our island dependencies can not
now be estimated. The fact that the
price of silver today Is higher than II
has been since the step was taken by
the government curtailing the use OF
silver as standard money naturally
causes some speculation among the Of
ficials as to how much higher 1t will
&C.
The records show that though the
worlds stock of silver has not mater
tally increased during the last ten
years, so far as the annual production
is concerned-that is, in nothing like
the ratio OF the increase of gold pro-
duction2the enlarged use of silver by
some of the oriental countries. and by
the minis OF India has tendency to
boost the price OF silver. It is coming
to be an interesting question how
much the rise is likely to be within the
next few years.
Congress authorized. in the law
passed at the last session, the RECON-
age of the silver in the Philippines.
This action was made necessary by the
rise in the price of silver which caused
the Philippine peso to be worth more
as bullion than as coin.
Several months have passed since
this legislation by congress. but it does
not appear that the Philippine auth
critics have taken steps to carry the
Law into effect. 1t is reported that con-
situations have been held by CORES
pondence and otherwise. and it is as
sumed that an effort is being made to
determine what ratio shall be employ
ed IN the proposed recoinage.
It is claimed that the advices receiv-
ed at the treasury do not indicate that
the greater utilization OF gold under
the new Mexican policy of the gold
standard has retracted from the use
OF silver in Mexico. so far as the cur
rent exchanges are concerned. except
as the greater use of gold for bank re-
serves has created a greater tendency
in that country toward the use of pa
per money.
1t is the opinion of the treasury Of
ficials that the price Of silver will con.
tinue to trend upward
