State Leads in Education of Prisoners It I I titled Press MICHIGAN CITY. Ind.. May 17. —lndiana is a pioneer in the movement to educate prisoners, it was revealed here after Warden W. H. Daly of the state prison had received a request for information about his prison school. The request came from Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the interior, and chairman of the national advisory committee on illiteracy. which he organized last fall. Wilbur’s letter said the committee had started a campaign to educate cnminals after coming to the conclusion that there is a definite relation between crime and illiteracy. "There are grounds for belief that overcoming the illiteracy may contribute to the reformation of the criminal,” the letter said. “The committee believes that it should be possible to eliminate this illiteracy among those who are in prison and that its elimination might have a material effect in reforming habitual criminals.” The school in the Indiana prison, started several months ago, is attended nightly by more than 100 inmates, Daly said. Instructors are prisoners who have had high school or college educations. Rapid progress is being made, Daly said. The warden is preparing a comprehensive report on the school to be sent to Secretary Wilbur and promises hearty support of the national movement. The committee recently announced it had been making a survey of all illiteracy in the United States and has concluded an active campaign in thirty-eight states to reduce illiteracy. It is proposed to operate through a period of years, attempting to lower illiteracy by marshaling every available agency to participate in its campaign. State and county superintendents of education have been very generally lined up for the fight. Church organizations have been called upon to join, it was announced. Available statistics, according to the committee, indicate that 4.6 percent of the persons throughout the country between the ages of 15 and 34 ar illiterate. There are 123,271 persons in state and federal prisons in the United States.

According to law, the city is allowed one patrolman to each 1,000 persons, and one ranking officer to each patrolman, a chief, matron and detective force. This would permit forty men on the force.
