Pennsylvania's prisoners are go. ing to school, with textbooks, classes and everything. Arthur W. Howe, secretary of wel. fare, said today he was installing a new system of training in the penitentiaries which would have these direct benefits: Eliminate all Idleness.

Equip the prisoner for private em. ploymeht upon release. Increase the quality of goods turn, ed out by the prisons. Repair for use materials, ma chinery and equipment that ordinari. ly is scrapped.

Howe said text books in trade training were being prepared. Some will be for the newcomers to trades. Others, of an advanced nature, will be used by those prisoners who have been working in the shops. "Instead of the present system of selecting prisoners on the basis of what may be expected of them, selected prisoners will be given a training course in the particular trade or art to which he is most adaptable" Howe said. "This train, ing in some instances will require attendance at classes in theory and practice covering a year and a half." The training will be installed in the shops of the Eastern Peniten-tiury at Philadelphia and the farm at Graterford; the Western Penitentiary at Rockview, the Pennsylvania Industrial School at Huntingdon and the State Industrial Home for Women at Muncy.

Trade training to qualify for reg. ular employment in the prison shop will require one year for shoemaking, weaving, clothing manufacture, hosiery and underwear production, metal trades, license plate manufacture and furniture and a year and a half for printing. "The Department of Welfare has been continually confronted with the problem of finding employment for prisoners with idle time," Howe said. "The plan which now is to become effective provides the solution to both the warden's problem and the department's responsibility to society." Instructors will be recruited from among the prisoners. The production of the prisons is sold only to tax-supported institutions and agencies.

I IT-I Alfred Deach, of West Hazleton, Pleads Guilty Robt. Groseh Victim. Alfred Deach, S6, of 98 North Broad street, West Hazleton, was arrested by Sergeant Stoh and Corporal Benjamin Franklin, of the Hazleton headquarters of the State Motor Police yesterday on charges of being a hit and run driver, also of operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating drink. The arrest was made five minutes after the troopers had received a report of the case, and the defendant posted $1500 bond for court. The victim, Robert Groseh, 42, of Hollywood, R.

D. 1, was in fair condition last night in the State Hospital, where he is a patient receiving treatment for a probable fractured skull, lacerations of the scalp and face, and brush burns. According to Sergeant Stroh, Deach at first denied striking the man, but was taken to the motor police headquarters on Laurel Hill Terrace and further questioned, when he confessed. According to Sergeant Stroh, Deach was traveling on the road between Milnesville and Conyngham, and at a point a mile from Milnesville, his machine struck Groseh, who was walking along the edge of the road, towards Milnesville. Groseh was thrown up over the hood of the car after being struck by the fender and headlight and his head, striking the windshield, broke the glass.

He then fell to the road. Deach is said to have continued on his way and later is reported to have returned to the scene, passing on. The victim was found by Martin Sivar and Charles Beckerman, of this city, who brought the injured man to the hospital. As the two officers were at the hospital, checking on the case, Deach is said to have come to the institution and asked who struck the victim. An investigation, Sergeant Stroh states, showed that a piece of the victim's scalp and some hair was still hanging to the frame of the windshield on Deach's machine when they examined the vehicle.

Deach was examined by a local doctor and was pronounced drunk. He was taken before Alderman Frank Cannon of this city, where he pleaded guilty to both charges of intoxication while driving a motor vehicle, also of being a hit and run driver. The case was cleaned up here possibly in the shortest time than any case of its kind in this district.
