Religious affairs.-During the year divine services averaged five each Sunday, and embraced the Catholic, Episcopalian, and Presbyterian denominations and Y. M. C. A. services. General services of a nonsectarian nature were conducted every Sunday. The Rabbi Liknaitz, of Leavenworth, Kans., looked after the spiritual interests of those of the Hebrew faith confined in the prison. All services were well attended by the prisoners, and the chaplain states that he finds "even a greater spirit of contentment among prisoners here than ever before." This the chaplain finds from his perusal of outgoing mail of prisoners, which, in most cases, speaks well of the treatment received at the prison. Schools.-School was conducted three nights a week and once on Sundays. The studies pursued embraced phonography, mechanics, and elementaries. The average number of prisoners devoting time to study was 540.
