BRITON DIRECTS USE OF STILI.ETO LONDON, Aug. 13. —Sir George Greenwood, presiding recently at a meeting of the London Society for the Prevention of Premature Burial, said that he had given directions to those who would be his executors to plunge a stiletto into his heart after his deat hso as to make certain of it. He added that a school mate of his, who became a great surgeon, insisted that the stabbing process be carried out as a precaution. Sir George declared he had no faith in the present so-called modern meth ods of certifying death. Miss Emily Akes, honorary secre tary of the society, said that one of the best known men in England whose name was a household word, PRISON RECORD IS ONLY REQUIREMENT TO STRANGE COLLEGE (Continued from P*ge One) prison records on their pay rolls. Contributions started coming in the evening. “I knew one convict who went to the prison school every night for 32 .years and couldn’t even learn to ■write his own name. He just sat there in a daze. “In our university here it is dif ferent. We can teach a man to earn his own living in a six-months’ course. “And when the university is well established here, we plan to start branches in other cities throughout the country.” from all parts of the country. i So far, it has heped 100,000 ex convicts to find jobs—and Dudding declares that 90 per cent of these have made good.

Need for Trained Men Then he encountered another difficulty. In an age of specializa tion, it was extremely hard to place untrained men —and thousands of the men and women he was trying to assist lacked both business and mechanical training. This presented the idea of an ex convicts’ college. He signed up Dr. T. Marcellus Marshall, first president of Marshall College, as chancellor. Next iie started the first branch of his unique university—a school for stenog raphers—in the big brick house where he lives and works. “The girls taking this course,” he said, “are helping me send out in- Iline Ingram, 2nd, and Gloria Ca ruso, sunning themselves at the Lido, near Venice, Italy. forma'ion and pleas for assitanee. “We plan o teach the elementary subjects and all possible trades. “It is impossible to learn a trade in prison.
