PRESIDENT PARSONS ON NEW NORMAL SCHOOL

WHY HE 18 OPPOSED TO IT THE PRESENT TIME.

PRESENT SCHOOL’S NEEDS

There Is Much the State Could Do to Better the One Normal School that It Has.

N/’IJJ' In I lie

\V. W. rareons. president of the State jal at Terre Haute, opposed the bill ! General A**embly of 1901, to eatabll»h a new State normal at Muncto. The uueatlon of additional normals bus arisen again. President Paraonx Is now opposed to u system of normal schools a* long: as ihe present State Normal Is not made an Institution of the highest grade. He was asked for hla views, and he submitted the

following:

"Whether under any circumstances It Is wise for a State to maintain more than one normal school Is a question upon which men may with reason hold very diverse opinions. It Is held by some, and probably a majority, that the State should support normal schools enough and so located as to Justify It In requiring all Its teachers to possess a thorough professional training, acquired under the State's own direction. Others maintain that this Is Impracticable and an unnecessary burden, and since It Is so, that a single normal school of ample equipment and of the highest grade In every way, maintaining the highest standard of professional Instruction and training, Is all that a State ought to provide. "This Is a great question In Itself, and It can not here and now be discussed. A demand, however, for more normal schools will spring out of the necessity for setting up a truer and higher standard than is already maintained, or will be found upon the second view, which requires the State to educate all of its teachers. I care only to call attention to this one fact: With 16,000 public school teachers In Indiana, 4,000 of whom leave the schoolroom every year, It would require a very great many normal schools to provide for even a limited training of all the teachers needed for the schools. Educate as Many as Possible. "It must be admitted, however, that the fact that it Is impracticable for Indiana to provide normal schools enough for the education of all fier teachers is not in itself a reason why she should not educate a larger proportion of her teachers if this shall be found practicable. Further, the fact which I think must be admitted that two or more schools properly equipped, well located and liberally supported would Induce a larger number of persons to use the facilities offered for professional education Is, to my mind, the strongest argument In support of one or more new normal schools. "Some good reasons can be and have been brought forward In support of the proposition to add another normal school now. The proposition is not wholly onesided. Some objections will occur to everybody. I do not wish at this time to enumerate and weigh the reasons pro and con. I simply wish to call attention to the Insufficiency of each of two reasons oftenest adduced, and then to state the conditions under which. In my opinion, the normal school or schools of the future should be established. If It shall be decided to create a system of such schools. "The existing State Normal School Is not crowded to a degree that makes more normal schools necessary at this time. The facta are these: The proper capacity of the school Is 1,000 students. In the fall term we have less than one-half this number (470 at this time); In the winter term the number does not exceed 600; the largest number ever present In a summer term was 724; the spring term gives us, with a very low standard of admission, 1,200 students. A correct standard would exclude many of these. These facts are not given as a reason why the State should not establish more normal schools, but simply to clear the ground by showing that the grounds for such action lie elsewhere. Let us proceed In the case with a clear understanding of the present situation. Example of Other States. "In the second place, I think we attach undue importance to the fact that many other States have two or more State normal schools. If the educational Interests of Indiana require additional schools, this of Itself Is reason enough. Much study of many of the normal schools In States maintaining more than one leads me to question very seriously the validity of this argument. "But now, waiving the whole question as to whether the State should enter upon the project of a normal school system, Including ultimately several additional schools, or admitting even that this Is the true policy, then the practical question for us to consider Is this: Upon what conditions should such new schools be established? For I think we should agree that It would be possible to add schools under conditions that would be disastrous to the common schools of the State. "First of all, this movement should Include the fullest provision for completing the one Imperfect normal school plant now conducted by the State. I can think of no existing conditions that would Justify the establishment of a second Incom-

plete or finished plant of this kind while leaving the existing school In Us present Unfinished form. For years It has been realised that the purchase of additional ground and the erection of a new building for training schools and manual training purposes were necessary to the proper development and completion of the school. All the official boards of visitors for years have urged this, but as It would require In the neighborhood of $100,000 to carry out this Idea, besides Increased maintenance. It has been deemed unwise until the present time to lay the subject before the General Assembly. 1 offer no argument on this question, simple statement of the situation will surely command your approval of the

point made.

Liberal Maintenance. "The second condition to be observed In creating another member of the proposed system Is that It should be established and maintained upon a liberal, ample basis from the start. I consider this of the highest Importance. The history of almost every State in the Union- that has several normal schools should be a warning to us on this point. A feeble, poorlyequipped school cquld add nothing to the efficiency and strength of the normal school work of the State. The new school should have ample buildings, library, laboratories, manual training facilities and equipment of all kinds, for pitching and maintaining Its work on the highest plane. "To provide all this means the expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars, for there Is a certain completeness about an institution of this kind quite as necessary for a hundred students as live hundred. Then, too, It should be maintained liberally from year to year. If there Is any kind of school In which the best possible equipment should be supplied and the best possible teaching done. It surely Is in a school intended to be In every way a model for teachers. Whether Indiana Is ready, from a financial point of view, to complete her present normal school and establish and maintain a second on this high plane, I do not know, but when she takes hold of the enterprise, It should be with this high Ideal before her. Unity and Harmony. "A word on a third condition that should be observed. Additional schools should be established under such provisions as would secure general unity and harmony of thought and operation. In her normal school work thus far Indiana has occupied a somewhat unique position among the States of the Union. Her system of normal schools should be unique. The fact that her common schools are looked upon as among the best In the country, and that, first and last, her normal school has given to these schools more than 20.000 teachers, would seem some reason for preserving In her normal school system all that experience has proved valuable In her single normal school. This would be greatly conserved by putting all schools of this kind under one beard of management. "I mention these three things, not as objections to creating additional normal schools, because they can all be met, but as relieving for the most part the objections of many heretofore opposed to multiplying such schools In the State. "My present position on the question can be restated In a single sentence—while candor compels me to say that I am among those who doubt the wisdom of a system of normal schools as against a single institution of the highest grade, my objections would be reduced to the minimum by fulfilling the conditions named.”

A STAGE-STRUCK GIRL WHO LEFT A GOOD HOME

THE PATHETIC STORY SHE TOLD IN POLICE COURT.

HUSBAND IN THE WORKHOUSE

Traveling with a Vaudeville Show M a Serpentine Dancer—Married to Gain a Protector.

AMUSEMENTS

Meetings of Colored People. A large audience attended the entertainment given last night at Mt. Zion Baptist church for the benefit of the In-, dtana Baptist University. The entertainment was under the direction of the university chorus. The program consisted of musical numbers and papers and addresses by George L. Knox and J. H. Lott. The colored ministerial reunion held a session yesterday afternoon at Allen chapel. A paper was read by the Rev. Martin Coleman and was discussed by members of the union.

Chicago Policeman Killed. CHIC AGO, November 20.-Charles E. Dillon, a special policeman, employed by the Chicago &. Northwestern Railroad Company, was shot and Instantly killed early this morning In the yards of the railroad company, while endeavoring to prevent the looting of a freight car by a gang of thieves. C. H. Thoran, a switchman, was arrested shortly after the shooting, and In his possession was found a number of broken car seals.

There was a pathetic scene In the Police Court to-day, when Nila Matthews Suiter, a seventeen-year-old married girl, took the witness chair and, with her eyes filled with’ tears, told Judge Stubbs of the hardships she had undergone while traveling as a vaudeville artist, and of the trouble she had experienced In protecting her honor. The girl's husband, Harry Suiter, was on trial on the charge of loitering, and on the testimony of the girl he was sent to the workhouse to serve out a sentence of thirty days and a fine of $60 and costs. Mrs. Suiter Is sheltered In the women's department until a railroad ticket arrives from her mother. Mrs. Julia Dove, of Atlanta, Ga. The story of Mrs. Suiter Is of a girl who became “stage-struck" and left a good home for the alluring life which is supposed to be behind the glittering footlights. She Is a girl of good appearance and modest denieanor, and her gentle ways and evident sincerity won the hearts of the matron and police. In March, F. L. Langley's electric theater, a tent exhibition, was In Atlanta. Langley needed a "serpentine dancer,” and employed Miss Matthews. She practiced until the show left the city, and she went with It without the knowledge of her mother. From town to town It drifted up to Pennsylvania, where the round of carnivals was made. The girl was sick and tired of the life, but she felt that she had burned her bridges behind her, and could not return home. On to Ohio and finally Michigan the show drifted, and the receipts began to diminish. Miss Matthews said she was insulted at every

turn.

Became a Snake Show. The electric theater finally merged Into a snake show and the girl's dancing was over. She tended the snakes as the only means of earning a livelihood. In Bay C?lty there were other shows at a carnival and the girl met Harry Suiter, an employe of another "traveling aggregation.” He followed her to Sheboygan and she married him in that city, she said, because she needed a protector. This was four months ago, and from that time her troubles Increased The shows disbanded and a few straggling members of the shows. Including Suiter and his wife, began "doing" small

towns.

“We walked from town to town," the girl said to Judge Stubbs, “often fourteen and sixteen miles a day. We had little to eat. My husband began dragging me Into saloons where I danced while he took up a collection. Matters became worse and ho finally wanted me to sacrifice my honor to support him. This was the last

straw and I wrote my mother.”

The girl said she even did not tell her mother that she was actually suffering from want. Sutter and h:» wife were In Westfield at the time and a telegram from the mother told the girl to go to Indianapolis and ask the police for protection until a letter and ticket could reach her. Captain Kruger heard the girl's story and he arrested Suiter. The "actor” cried and told Judge Stubbs he

People Turned Away from Firemen's Ball

A Concert Program, in Which the Bowen-Merrill Fire Was Commemorated, Preceded the Dancing.

When the Indianapolis Military Band struck up the overture last evening, every available Inch of standing-room In Tomlinson Hall was occupied, and hundreds who had sought admission to the twelfth annual concert and ball given by the Indianapolis fire department for the benefit of the firemen's pension fund were turned away because of lack of room. The crowd was the largest that ever attended a firemen's ball in this city, and the floor committee deserves much credit for the prompt manner In whlcTi it did Its work. It Is estimated that thirty-eight hundred people were present. The dance was preceded by a concert program of seven numbers, the feature of which was a one-act sketch.

and Herman Frey. After the other numbers had been given, a large curtain was drawn to one side, showing the Interior of a two-story engine house, the sleepingrooms on the second story and the fire crew seated about the hose wagon on the first floor. At the ringing of the gong four men In the bunks up-stalrs rolled out and descended to the first floor on the sliding pole in time to assist In hitching the horse to the wagon. When the box was counted the captain announced that they did not "take" that box, and the horse was sent back to his stall. Tom, the fire dog from headquarters, then gave an exhibition of his tricks, concluding his performance by stamping out a fire caused by lighting a newspaper. The firemen's glee club sang a song commemorating the men who lost their lives In the Bowen-Merrill fire. Mr. Herman Frey recited an original poem on the subject, and the act ended with a number by the glee club. As the act ended, the gong rang "fire out.” The first number on the program following the overture was a song, "Our Gallant Company." by the firemen's glee club. The club Is composed of Simeon C. Hoyl, William A. Rusle, Herman Frey, William Grady, Samuel Oj Meyers, Dennis Coll. Henry Rothermel, Oscar Stehlln. Charles O. Whaley, Thos. Doyle, William C. Stlegelmeyer and A. E. Vincent. J. Fremont Frey Is director. A piano solo by Prof. George Hebble was followed by a song by a trio composed of Mrs. Ferdinand Halierman, J. Fremont Frey and George E. Schmidt. "The Indianapolis Firemen's March” by the band preceded the Are enginehouse scene. At the close of the concert the floor was quickly cleared/of chairs and an attempt was made to clear It of people. When the grand march, led 'by Mayor Bookwalter, with Mrs. Thomas F. Barrett and Captain and Mrs. Simeon Hoyle was started at 10:06 It looked as though the leaders would have to burrow their way through the crowd, but as the line moved slowly frorq oi^ie end of the hall to the other; the crowd gradually fell back and left the floor clear. There were over five hundred people In the grand march. At midnight luncheon was served In the east corridor of the hall by the wives of the firemen. The dancing continued until early this morning.

Theaters To-Day. Knfflliih'ii Kellar, the Magician At 8 The Grand .Vaudeville At 2 and 8 The Park .."Her Marriage Vow” ..At 2 and 8 The Empire Burleatiue At 2 and 8 The Sale of Seats for "Ben-Hur.” A few individuals sat and shivered all night in the lobby of English's waiting In patience and with an unwonted supply of cash In their pockets for the box office to open. They were men who had beer, hired to buy seats for some of the performances of "Ben-Hur,” which comes to English's for two weeks beginning Monday, November 24. At 6 o'clock this morning, while the night-watchers were sending after coffee and feeling thankful that their long vigil was about to end, the early morning purchasers of seats began to come. At first they came slowly, but by 7 o’clock the line was out at the curb and at 8 o'clock it was extending In a serpentine curve around in front of the cafe. Before the box office opened the line which began at the ticket window ended somewhere In the neighborhood of the public library entrance and the special policemen who had been sent to keep order In the line had their hands full. The price of seats for the entire engagement ranges from 50 cents to $2. and It was the higher-priced seats that were In most demand when the box office opened. It Is very evident that the opening night of the play will figure as a prominent social event, as all of the boxes have been taken and the purchasers of seats on the lower floor Include some of the most prominent people in the city. There Is a belief, evidently, among purchasers of seats for next Monday night that General Lew Wallace will be present, and perhaps may he Induced to say something to the audience after or during the performance. The sale of seats to parties outside of the city has been exceptionally heavy, and Manager Miller found several hundred dollars In his mail this morning. In the line there was one man from Crawfordsvllle whose avowed purpose was to purchase the entire balcony for one night of the show for Crawfordsvllle admirers of General Wallace. For Tuesday night, December 2. the entire first floor and second floor of the theater have been bought by the Tribe of Ben-Hur, of Crawfordsvllle, the supreme officers of which will run an excursion to Indianapolis. They have secured a half rate on the railroads for that purpose. The sale was so large at the window this morning that Manager Miller had the receivers of his two telephones taken down, and he notified the telephone company that he would not answer any calls. There have already been several hundred seats engaged by telephone. One woman who called up last night and bought two seats said to Mr. Miller: "Is this the original 'Ben-Hur' play?” Mr. Miller assured her that It was. "Well, it takes two weeks to play It. does It not?" Mr. Miller explained that the entire play was given every night, but the woman seemed to be skeptical. "Oh, no,” she said; "the real 'Ben-Hur' takes two weeks to play. No one could put all that book Into a one-night drama.” In the line this morning were purchasers from many of the towns close to Indianapolis. Anderson, Muncle, Connersvllle, Rushvllle, Lafayette and other towns had representatives buying seats. instead of decreasing, the line of ticketbuyers Increased all the morning, and at noon the line extended over half way around English’s block. Most purchasers confined themselves to buying two or four seats, but there wore several who bought two seats for many of the different evenings. Up to noon Manager Miller estl-

WHAT SOME OF WOMEN DID

Went to Saloons and Gambling Houses—Political Turn to the Story.

(Special to The Indianapolis News ] TERRE HAUTE, Ind., November 20. Stories of tha Jamboree of certain members of the "Sultan of Sulu” company In this city. Sunday night, are going the rounds. The fact that several women members of the company were visitors at saloons and public gambling rooms, and gave fantastic exhibitions of high kicking, and the arrest of Robert Lett, who had been In the cast for Colonel Jefferson Budd, while he sat at play In a gambling house, are now being made u«e of for political purposes. It seems that he had quarreled with his wife, who was Romona, one of the wives of the Sultan of the play, because she would not give him money wlth'i which to gamble. Lett Knocked Down. It Is said that In a fight which followed the controversy, a portly woman of the company knocked him down and kicked him. Lett and his wife were discharged here by Manager Bra len on his arrival. An understudy took Lett's part that night. The fact that the police department Is now under a board appointed by the Democratic mayor causes his party to be assailed for the wide-open policy, which Is little dlffe,ent from w’fyat it was under the Republican board appointed by the Governor, and which went out of existence last September. The Sultan of Sulu company closed Its engagement at English’s last night. George Ade Gets Back. NEW YORK.

Everybody was too busy to stop and pick them up. Barrie’s New Play. Although all the accounts are not yet to hand, there seems to be no doubt that Mr. Barrie's new play, “The Admirable Crichton," just produced in the Duke of York's Theater, London, Is a brilliant and most amusing stroke of fancy, an extravaganza laden with truth and satire. The first act is devoted to the whim of an old earl, who Is a believer In what he calls a return to nature, and therefore compels his family to entertain the servants In the drawingroom once a week. In the second act the whole establishment is erected on a desert Island, and he has a chance of putting hts theories Into prac-

tice.

Then It Is that the butler comes to the front as a man of energy and resource, and he gradually establishes his supremacy, until at the end of two years ho Is the king of the Island and his former superiors his abject vassals. Even the earl's daughters are glad of a glance of recognition from the royal eye. But In due time rescuers come and relations are again reversed, the butler gradually sub-

A REPLY TO CART. RITTER.

De-

The Prohibition Party Did Not

clare for Free Silver.

The Prohibitionists are objecting to a statement made by Eli F. Ritter, which they say does an Injustice to their party. State chairman Masters said to-day: "Mr. Ritter Is quoted as saying that he left the Prohibition party ‘since the party declared for fj'ee stiver In ’96.’ The fact Is that the Prohibition party did not declare for free silver In '96, but emphatically refused to do so, and this caused a few who had formerly affiliated with the Prohibitionists to ‘bolt’ the convention and organize the National party, which never put a ticket In the field only the one time. This defection was not nearly so large as the defection from the Republican party

for the same cause.

"Prohibitionists are not opposing the efforts of the Anti-Saloon League to close saloons by means of remonstrances, in almost every such tight party Prohibitionists have been most prominent In signing remonstrances and In securing the names of others. This in many cases has been done where there Is no AntiSaloon League organization. There Is no ‘firing into their own ranks’ by opponents of the saloon, as Is so frequently charged. Prohibitionists are constantly firing at the licenaed liquor traffic and at the political parties which stand for Its legalization. If Captain Ritter or any other anti-saloon worker is found In the ranks

wealth of pure tonal beauty not soon to be forgotten. In this port of the program, the little song-picture, "To-mor-row,” was, perhaps, the most completely artistic and the most remarkable in expression of feeling. The closing line es-

pecially was rich In tenderness.

A group of English songs, some old. some new, made up the second part of the program. Each of these the singer gave its own peculiar charm, suiting the style to the song, as a goldsmith suits the setting to the gem, Handel's "Where'er You Walk" he Invested with that deliberate grace so necessary in the realization of its Elizabethan beauty; "Were I a Prince Egyptian” was In high color and Impetuous In tempo; the Tschalkowskl aria was melancholy of mood; "A Disappointment” was a dainty, roguish bit, while "To My First Love" (seven years old) evoked smiles and delighted applause. Mrs. Beach's song, "The Years at the Spring." and two extra numbers, the drinking song from "Cavellerla,” and a similar song by Rles, brought the recital to a bright close. The accompaniments, played by Miss Eleanor Schelb. of Chicago, were In each case the very echo of

the song in sympathy and beauty.

Besides the members of the muslcale, there were present a number of other persons who helped to make this celebration of the society's quarter century anni-

versary u success.
