NOT IMPRESSED BY
 INMATES OF PRISON
ReY. Arthur Schoenfeldt Con-
 siders Them Lazy and Sans Honor

At a meeting of the Lions club held in the Burritt hotel this noon, Rev. Arthur Schoenfeldt, chaplain at Wethersfeld State prison. was the chief speaker. He took for his topic, "Problcms wardens face"
 He told of the kind of men who enter the state prison. He said that the average inmate at the institution enters the place either full of resent ment against being sent there or with the idea Of beating the game and the one thins which he looks forward to doing IS to worm his way through prison life with as little work as pos sible.
 He said what the public expects Of the warden of a state institution IS to make men, who all of their lives as a rule, have been gradually be- coming imbued with the idea which makes them in the end convicts. They are filled with the unsocial at titude, which entails the idea of "beating the game" The speaker told Of the men who when they first enter the prison go to the prison chaplain and the warden and tell nm that they have gone wong" in the past but hereafter they will go straight" The test these men are put 10 is 10 read book given 10 them by the chaplain. Rev. Mir. schoenfeldt said that if the man reads the book it is generally an in- lication that the man is trying 10 do right and is sincere in his efforts to "go straight"
 Other problems which face the warden are those Of the prisoners who are unwilling to serve and who whine and plead with him to let them off the hard tasks, The speak CT said that it seems to De the code of the conyic's that to do an unlaw- ful act Is no disgrace but the idea Of getting caught is where fhe disgrace is.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY
EXPECTS BIG CROWD
Already About 1000 Have Been
Granted Registration
Permits.

Registration for the first quarter
of the school year 1924-25 at Howard
University will begin Friday and will
continue through Saturday, with
opening day in the collegiate depart
ment on Monday, September 90.
Despite the stringent entrance
rules which have been applied in con-
nection with persons seeking admis-
sion to the university, nearly 1000 of
the more than 1000 applicants who
sought admission to the college de-
partment have been granted permits
to register" Last year at the begin
ming of the Autumn quarter some 900
students were admitted to the fresh
man class. This year all indications
point to freshman class in the COL
legiate department numbering ap-
proximately 500 to 1000 students.
This will break all records in the
history of the university.
During the Summer many extensive
repairs to the buildings and grounds
of the university have been made.
The roadways about the grounds
have been resurfaced, and the rooms.
Railways and various buildings have
been newly painted, so as to present
freshened and inviting appearance
to the faculty and students who will
be returning.
With the great increase expected in
the university student body the oues-
tlon or adequate dormitory accommo-
oatlon mas become a matter of deem
concern to the authorities. Already
the present dormitories available for
housing the young men and the
young women of the college denart-
ment have practically reached the
limit of their capacity by advance
reservations.
