Graduate of Sociology Department Is Admitted as Prisoner at Leavenworth
HAD FINGER PRINTS TAKEN
Only Eight College Men Are Listed Among State Convicts
Fred W. Calvert, a graduate student in the department of sociology, spent last week at Leavenworth, seeking material for his thesis on prison education. Mr. Calvert was admitted to the prison in the interest of his research work, although he was not included in the regular classification of prisoners. Through the courtesy of the prison officials, he was enabled to perform the routine of parole and interrogation in the institution. His finger prints were taken, his photograph made, and his physical measurements recorded.
Thee are 1115 prisoners in the in situation at present, Mr. Calvert said. Of these 123 are women. The women are not kept within the walls, but are segregated on an industrial farm about a mile east of the prison. They live in small cottages, do farm work in the summer, learn to cook and sew, acquire knowledge in working out the details of household affairs of all kinds, and are taught plum and fancy hand work with other disabled persons, the state or criminal cases, the police court offenders, and the internes, or diseased. To these last special attention is given in the instruction of household arts. The idea of the industrial farm was begun about two years ago.

Of the men, about 300 are employed in the prison coal mine, which supplies the principal industry of the prison. Others work in the brick plant, material for which is supplied from mines in the province of Rivers. Still others are employed in the erection of a wing to the prison, which, when completed, will accommodate at least one-third of the prisoners in up-to-date quarters, well lighted, ventilated and with increased security. The prison is offered. With the exception of the officials themselves no help outside the prison inmates is employed.
"Each man in the prison has a 'task' assigned him," said Mr. Calvert. Those working in the mines must mine individually nine tons of coal each week or if they are working as a team, ten tons more. The ten cartoons to their credit. A half ton of coal is called a carlod. The cars used in the mines are small, only about three feet long and about thirty inches in depth and width. They are run on three inchrails. The mules run them pull them out of the mine. A special stable, containing eighteen stalls, is constructed for them underground.
"The mine shaft is about 742 feet underground," Mr. Calvert said, "and has twelve tunnels or entries branching out from it. These entries extend from one and one-fourth to one and one half miles out from the shaft. A current of air is kept in." The mine is coated "Coal from the mines is sent to all state institutions" Mr. Calvert said, and the prison is credited with $3.50 for each ton used
Another important industry of the prison is the manufacturing of twine and rope, which is sold to farmers in large quantities. The work is carried on within the prison and employs about one hundred and fifty men.
Prison labor begins shortly after 7:00 o'clock in the morning, and continues eight hours. Mr. Calvert said. The uniform for the inmates is overalls and jumper, with white sleeves, jumping down the trousers and jumped.
On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, school is field from 7 until 9 c'clock in the evening, Reading, writing, arithmetic, spelling, history, geography, and Spanish are the courses offered. The work is not compulsory, and from sixty to ninety men attend. Inmate teachers are employed. At present there are eight college men in the institution, Mr. Calvert said, all of whom are doing clerical work.
"There are many more young men than old." Mr. Calvert said. "I believe most of them are not more than 22 years old."
"The they are n very husky bunch of men," he concluded. "None of them seems ill or discontented."

Oh The Wild, Wild Injun Grows A Dern Sight Wilder By Gazing At Flappers,Says Indian Doc
Chicago, Feb. 14 — The giddy way of the great white tribe has made a wild man out of the失宠 of the Apaches, Dr. Charles Montezuma, who turned to the mule industry because it became unfashionable on the warwarn today.
"I was a nice tame Indian when I left the dull home of my fathers and came to wild, woody Chicago," he said. "Now I feelg wild again."
The much maligned flapper came in for her share of the blame for Montezuma's reversion to type.
"Poor Pocahontas was considered, 'poor Girl in her time according to history's estimate,' he said. "But what habit did she have?" he added, boasting her feathers, wore short blanket
ets, and discarded her mocassins for volashes?"
Montezuma said his tribe probably thought it has a hectic time dancing to the tom-tom. "My ancestors probably locked down with jealous eyes from the happy kid and the sick kid from the poor kid who civilized them dancing the shimmer" he said.
"It is to laugh," he said, "when the white man complaining of prohibition They took away our fire water, the steam and water that made us drink bark bark tea."
Montezuma was asked to give an opinion why Indians so popular in the early days no longer participate in the celluloid drama.
"Hollywood was too wild for the red man," he said.
