Aware of impending approval of his motion, Mr. Jermyn said: "No one can deny the advantages of a larger High School. Council has heard tonight several letters which seem to show that the cost of edu- cation has actually been lowered by incorporating an area.

Thirty-two prisoners are full-time music students. Most of them couldn't read a line of music before they got here. The system, says Warden Joseph Ragen, is based chiefly on the idea that many men reach the prisons because they lack sufficient aca- demic' or "vocational training. "For one reaggn or another, they {have not had a chance fo develop their ability .to make an honest liv- ing," he says. "We try to fit men to compete, on an honest basis, wien they are outside again.' When Ragen took over as Warden here in 1932, he found 1,800 idle men.

The correspondence school offers primary, high school and college training, and about 1,000 inmates are enrolled. "A man can study everything giv- en in the average high sci100l course --except physics and chemistry," the warden says. "We don't want a student to come up with a home- made bomb." / Courses at primary school level are given in a specially designed school building. The classrocms are along a central hall that affords guards a view at all times. Convict instructors teach in the elementary grades. Most fig school and college work is handled by correspondence.
