Convicts College Students.More than fifty convicts are enrolled at the State Agricultural college at Manhattan, taking the various courses offered at the college. They are, so far as is known, the only convict college students in the United States. Few, if any, of the convict® have ever seen the college building, and it will be some time before any of them can see it, but i^evertheless they are enrolled students doing regular work.All the convict college students are inmates of the United States penitentiary here. They do their class work in their cells and mail their lesson papers to the college for correction. Some of the convicts are studying agriculture, some civil engineering, others, mechanics, and some are studying dairying. Nearly all of the students enrolled in the agricultural or dairy courses are men employed on the prison farm or in the dairy.—Leavenworth Dispatch to New York Times.
