Dr. Carl M. Senn, superintendent of Columbus Cap tol School, told the First Methodist Church Mens Club last night that most inmates “snapped” at the wrong time and crime grows from home school and community factors. He cited liquor and divorce as key causes and urged moral teaching by teachers. He noted 80 percent of West Spring Street Community Church members at the penitentiary adjust successfully after parole, while 60 percent who reject spiritual aid return to prison. He said the prison’s education program moves inmates quickly through grades and some participate as teachers to boost morale.
