PRISON INMATES

PIONEER WORK is IMPORTANT
IN REHABILITATION OF
PRISONERS
State Board Of Education Sponsors
Project Under Direct Supervision OF
Warden Theodore R. Bergstrom;
School Wins Wide Acclaim.

Unusual pioneer work in educa-
ton among the inmates at Mon
tana state penitentiary conducted
by the education section of the
work projects administration is re-
ported by prison officials who state
approximately POS prisoners attend
nearly 20 class meetings a week.
Recognized as important from the
standpoint Of rehabilitation and
therapeutics and unusual because
few prisons have educational pro-
grams, the work has received ma
tionwide acclaim, officials state.
The school is sponsored by the state
board of education and is directly
supervised by Warden Theodore r.
Bergstrom. Civilian personnel Is fur
nished by the education section of

visor of prison education, and his as
sistant, Wallace P. Akers, classes are
conducted in grade subjects, arts and
crafts, commercial, literacy, natural
ization. foreign languages, penmanship,
mechanical wing, mathematics,
first aid and regular academic subjects.
Other diversified subjects are secured
as correspondence courses from various
colleges and universities.
$50 many inmates are needed to
carry on maintenance work of the
prison that all cannot attend school
who would like to-" Warden Bergstrom
states. However, such men are helped
through celltime study when they are
furnished with textbooks or extension
courses" he explained
Enrolled in the school are five major
groups Of students, illiterates, those
who haven't finished grade work, those
who need more advanced study, COM
mercial students and problem men.
Officials state that the majority Of
illiterates are Indians, Mexicans and
men from isolated southern regions.
Prison officials rank literacy as the
most important educational work be-
ing done.
Commercial courses have also proven
beneficial since all prison trained per-
sonnet Is rapidly absorbed in prison
offices and in the license plate de-
partment. Well equipped, the CONNER
cial department attempts to give stu
dents training in bookkeeping, type
writing. shorthand. business English,
spelling, correspondence routine and
office machines.
Recreational therapy coupled with
special avocational and educational ac-
ttytttes Is used for problem inmates.

HEALTH DEPTHS
CHANGES VOTED

Reorganization of the city health
department under plans proposed
by Mayor Kaufman was accom-
plished Wednesday when the coun-
Gil passed an ordinance that has
been under consideration several
weeks.
The present organization Is dis
turbed only in that the position of
quarantine officer is abolished and
the duties assigned to public health
nurses, the director Of which will
be taken into the city organiza-
ton as supervisor of nurses.
However, some changes had
been made in recent years without
amending the old ordinance. Three
years ago the city contagious hos
pital was closed because of the
infrequency of contagious diseases
that could not just as well be
treated in the private homes or in
the regular hospitals. The new
ordinance eliminates the structure
of personnel required for conta-
gious hospital operation. No funds
for the city hospital have been
budgeted the last few years.
Corporation Counsel Carothers
assured the council the elimination
of the quarantine officers posi-
ton was legal.
The mayor said no additional
expense is involved in the reor-
ganization as one nurse is being
dropped from the salary roll to
provide for the installation of the
supervisor of nurses. a new posi-
ton. The supervisor. or director
of the Public Health Nurses asso-
citation has been paid heretofore
out of Community Chest funds.

All too frequently the amateur
rose grower sees his prize rose
blooms mature too rapidly for the
fall rose show. This often happens
to the home gardener who seldom
has more than one bush Of variety.
But even with growers having a
half dozen bushes of a given variety,
the choice blooms may be progress
ing too rapidly or too slowly, de-
pending upon the weather.
There are few ways In which the
rate Of growth may be retarded or
speeded up. They are not uniformly
successful, nor do they work equally
well on all varieties. Even though
used, the roses must still be
hardened of in cold water over
night to give them the desirable
lasting qualities needed in a two
day exhibition.
The tying of uncut buds with soft
wool twine will retard the opening
of q bud day or two, If applied
when they first show color. Use q
very soft knitting wool and wrap
the uncut bud with two or three
turns Of the yarn, preferably only
two, and tie with single knot. The
knot must be loose enough to slip
with the growth Of the bud. A
tight knot will result in creases in
the petals. This treatment tends
to increase the height of the bud.
Buds may be kept . day or two
after cutting by storing In cool,
dark place In cold Wator. The water
Evening star., 1939-09-23
Star Stan Photo,

should be deep enough to immerse
most OF the stem and foliage, but
not the bud. The success of this
method depends upon cutting the
bud early, when it Is first showing
color, and in keeping the water
cold. The night before the show
the flower buds should be brought
out to a warmer room, depending
upon the development of the bud.
In extreme cases buds may be cut
and stored in an ice-box in bottles
OF water, or wrapped in a damp
cloth. Where the ice-box is used
the roses should be removed the
night before the show to q deep
container Of cold water and
hardened off. Otherwise they will
quickly wilt when placed in q warm
dry room.
To accelerate the growth Of q
bud, it may be cut when showing
color and brought indoors, where
the warmth will hasten the maturity
bit. This is particularly helpful
when the nights are so cool as to
stop growth.
Another method to speed the de-
velopment is to protect the bud
from chilling winds. Watering freely
with warm water also may help.
Cool nights often ruin an ex-
hibition rose by disaguring the outer
petals. In extreme cases the petals
NAV be covered with small hIlmns
Covering the buds with cellophane
Or . paper sack win prevent such
