PENITENTIARY SCHOOL TO
OPEN NEXT WEEK

The penitentiary school, which has
been conducted in the chapel OF that
institution for several years past un-
der the direction Of the chaplain.
will open next week and will be con-
tinued through the winter season. All
branches of a public school education
are taught beginning with the pri-
mary grades and extending up TO the
sciences, including higher mathemat-
les etc. Attendance upon this in
struction Is not compulsory, but IL
available to every prisoner in the
penitentiary. Last year there were
registered In these classes about one
hundred and twenty students and
there we're recitations and lectures
fve evenings every week. To show the
interest taken In the school by the
convicts 1t may be stated that when
the classes were organized last Oc-
tober there were twenty men enrolled
who could neither read nor write. in
fact, were unable to designate the diff
ferent letters OF the alphabet. They
took such interest in the school that
before 1t closed for the summer vaca-
ton had been promoted to the third
reader and were able to write their
own letters, a matter which had pre-
viously devolved upon somebody else.
They are now regular patrons OF the
prison library.
