and asked him 10 incorporate in his
annual Arbor Day proclamation this
year a recommendation to the peo-
Pile of Colorado to cleanup their
premises. as well as 10 plant trees,
flowers and shrubs, on that occasion.
In reply the governor stated that the
suggestion was a good one and that
he would embody it in his message,
and the sequel showed that he was
not recreant to his promise. II was,
probably. the first instance in the
United States that a governor of a
great commonwealth has recommend

OF their premises as a matter of per-

roundings. II is only a question OF a

This year the students OF the city

Mrs. Fred II. whippIe will have

The League is preparing for big

for the purpose OF raising money to
assist the League In Its work. The

TEACHERS OF PRISON
SCHOOL GIVEN Dinner
BY WARDEN CLEGHORN

English, Irish. Scotch and Bulgarians.
From a racial standpoint the school
is sort of job lot, and they are
about as adverse in their creeds as
they are in their nativity. ..
There is highly educated Greek in
the bunch who is the instructor to
three of his countrymen that cannot
speak the English tongue. and there
is class of twenty Mexicans, presid-
ed over by a former citizen of the
Cactus republic, who Is instructing
his proteges in the rudiments of an
English education.
All of the branches taught in the
public schools of Colorado are avail
able to the searcher after truth at the
prison and many of the men receiving
instruction there will be better equip
ped for earning living on leaving its
walls in consequence of having at
tended Chaplain Blake's classes.
There are classes in reading. wright
ing. arithmetic. history. geography.
algebra. etc. In the exact sciences
there are some advanced students in
mathematics going as far as calculus
and in language back to the classics
OF ancient Greece. A few months ago
Chaplain Blake visited the Minnesota

a class among the convicts similar to
his own here and was greatly inter-
ested in its work He was surprised.

eight guards in attendance upon its
recitationss a thing undreamed of
here. There are absolutely no re-
strictions thrown about the students
in the prison school here. The men
are placed upon their honor and none
of them have abused their privileges.
The splendid conduct OF the men here
is attributed by Chaplain Blake to the
mastery discipline OF Warden Cleg-
horn and to his influence among the
prisoners OF the Institution.

they were allowed to make most of

church has had only eight mission

converts there during the last nine
years than in any other field of work,
in fact, its groweth there from evan

Rev RAIDER is now in the United

soon return to his post OF duty in the

money to make more effective and
widespread the religious work OF his
denomination in the islands and was
given contribution of nearly four
hundred dollars here on Sunday.
He says that the Methodists have six
hundred congregations in the Phil

fifty of them have chapels in which to

church, Denver. but for the last six
years a missionary in the Philippine
Islands, preached from the pulpit Of
the First Methodist church here both
the morning and evening services on
Sunday. A large audience was pres
ent on both occasions and the dis
courses were of great interest to all
concerned in evangelistic work in the
far east.
Rev. RAIDER said that since the
American occupation of the Philip
pine archipelago. ten years ago. a
revolution had been brought about in
the religious life of the natives, in
deed, the evangelization of the islands
was almost without parallel in the
history of religious endeavor. The
United States, according to Rev. Ra-

for mankind in an educational and
spiritual way than any other agency.
Our government. he said, had not
taken the Philippine Islands to ex-
plot them for their wealth. but had
gone there to redeem the natives from
savagery to civilization 1t had sent
one thousand school teachers there to
lead the people from darkness and
superstition into the light of a Christ
