A HOT TIME

In the Old Towu Last Weak—The Co-or-(1 In a to Education Mooting Declare* for Co-education*

The business men's meeting at the court house last week to take action on the matter of securing co-ordinate education at Wabash college took a rather unexpected turn and declared for co-education, pure and simple. The time of calling the meeting to order was delayed by the band concert on the. street below, but when this finally closed the room was well filled and Judge Harney was called to preside \V

F.

ft fc.

Dr. Burroughs was follov/ed by W. Graham, who had figures to prove that Orawfordsville in one year's time would receive more financial benefit from the inauguration of co-ordinate education than the 8100,000 required to inaugurate it here. He presented the business side of the proposition and showed plainly how Orawfordsville would reap a great return from the investment contemplated.

Maurice Thompson was then called upon and spoke of the the enterprise as being one calculated to confer beufits on all concerned. "I believe wots an the equal of man," said he, "and consider her entitled to like benefits and privileges

O. M. Gregg, of the college committee, then spoke and stated that in his quest for financial aid for the plan he was everywhere asked "What will Orawfordsville do?" He knew of men and women who would help when Orawfordsville came to the front, but he knew that they would await our action, especially as we would be the parties benefited. "We cannot ask people away from here to' give us money and help us build schools until we first show that wo are willing to help ourselves."

Apparently things were going on swimmingly at this stage of the game and the people could in imagination see the new dormitory and the fair flocks of "coy co-ordinate*" sweeping sedately through our streets. But all that's bright was born to fade. James E. Evans was cilled on and he proceeded to smash the co-ordinate scheme as a barren ideality. He declared that Orawfordsville could never raise the 8100,000 asked, or the greater part of it. Co-ordinate education could never be held and the only thing he saw possible was simple co-education. He could not see why the trustees would not grant this as they had the equipment and the teachers here at hand. He deemed the co-ordinate college bs unnecessary and useless even if the funds could be secured to establish It. Mr. Evans seemed to strike a popular chord and his utterances were loudly cheered, a crowd of students in the southeast corner of the room being especially gracious in this particular, as indeed, they were to Mr. Kennedy and the other speakers who followed.

Mr. Evaihs' remarks changed the whole tenor of the proceedings and the rest of the time was devoted to coeducation with a capital 0. 'Squire Wright, who had been intrusted to introduce the resolution for co-ordinate education, went clear back on it and made a red hot«speech for co-educa­

ORAWFOEDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1899-TWELYE PAGES.

Hulet was made secre­

tary. Judge Harney 6tated that Crawfordsville was naturally an educational center and that education was her industry and should be fostered. Ho was in favor of any steps in this direction and he called on Dr. Burroughs to explain the situation now confronting the people.

Dr. Burroughs made a review of the action of the trustees of the college providing for the introduction of coordinate education at Wabash—stating that they had rejacted co-aduca-tion—and recited the labors of the committee composed of himself, O. M. Gregg and Edward Daniels since its appointment in 1S97. Dr. Burroughs said that to inaugurate co-ordinate ed ucation here a large dormitory would have to be erected, and rooms and e-p pliances fitted for instruction in art and music. A capable woman would have to be secured as dean and for all this 8100,000 would be required. The school would be a separate corporation from Wabash but would have the benefit of her plant and teachers. A number of leading men and women in the central west had agreed to lend their influence to the success of the school and serve on its board, but as yet the committee had made no financial progrets Everyone was waiting to see what Orawfordsville would do. Con sequantlv this meeting- had been called. Wabash college had always proceeded on a cash basis and would tike no action until the fuuds were forthcoming. Dr. Burroughs assured the meeting that Wabash was not now financially able to admit women. The situation stood just as it did when be entered into control.

r*r

tion. He seconded all Mr. Evans had to 6ay and then said a lot more on his own hook. Finally, "just to get the sense of the meeting," ho introduced the following resolution: "Wukkeas, Wabash college with its many advantages is recognized as one of the leading institutions of learning, and "Whkkkas, said institution as now maintained furnishes education to men only, it is therefore "Resolved, That it be the sense of this meeting that it would be to the better interest of all friends of said institution to provide a co-ordinate department of taid college ior young "oiaei and to establish co-oruinate education facilities in connection therewith, at which young women may receive an education bimilar to that which is now given in said institution, aod be it further "Resolved, That a committee of seven be selected to canvass and solicit funds among the friends of such proposed college for the purpose of erecting suitable buildings, and providing an adequate endowment fund to carry on such institution."

Then P. S. Kennedy arose and the fun began in earnest. Mr. Kennedy moved to amend Mr. Wright's resolution by striking out all except the word "resolved" and insert the following: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the trustees of Wabash college should, at once, open the doors of tha* institution to all young ladies who may wish to enter it for tbe purpose of acquiring a higher education, and that their admission should be upon the same terms and conditions that young men are admitted. Wabash college is a public institution in law, and it should bo so in fact. Its doors should be open to the public, and not to one sex more tiian another."

Mr. Kennedy's speech in favor of his resolution was a very spirited one and one hie auditors will long remember. He repeated all he said in his card in yesterday's JOURNAL and much more. He declared that the doirs Of Wabash should be opened at once to women and that it was a shame and a disgrace that they had not been BO long ago Mr. Kennedy sa'd that he had no patience with the idea of co-ordinate education and believed that the trustees had not suggested it in good faith. He thought they were mereiy dodging an issue and letting the opposition down easily. "They tell us they haven't enough room or enough money to teach the girls but they would admit all the men who come there. It does not take any more room for a woman thau it takes for a man and it does not cost any more for her. There are scores of dusty rooms at Wabash that are never opened and girls should go in and sweep the cobwebs out. You have twenty professors and about 150 students there fthd still you tell us you haven't room. Why, over here at Danville there is a little college that has only one little building and has 500 students taught there. There are now more students in tbe Orawfordsville high school t"han there are in Wabash college and we don't hear anything about a lack of room there. Our girls aren't asking special privileges They will take what the men get and be glad of it. It would be a good thing for the young men too. They could call on the young ladies instead of guzzling beer over here at these saloons."

Mr. Kennedy spoke at length and put a number of pointed questions personally to Dr. Burroughs. His argument was a warm one and was enlivened by applause which was generouRly dispensed. He was followed by Mrs. J. M. Waugh, Judge Sellar, Dr. May, Rev. T. D. Fyffe and Mrs. Cicero McClure, all of whom endorsed what he had said. Before the vote was taken on the amendment to the Wright resolution, however, Mr. Graham offered the following amendment to it, which Mr. Kennedy accepted: "Resolved, That a committee of seven shall be appointed by the chairman of this meeting to confer with the trustees at their June meeting to discover what measures are necessary to carry into effect the above resolution."

The vote was taken on the amend ment as amended and it was passed by a rising vote, Prof. 0. A. Tuttle and B. R. Russell alone voting to sustain the Wright resolution. The amendment being made to the original resolution it was then passed AB a resolution and the chair appointed on the committee to wait on the trustees P. S. Kennedy, James Wright, G. W. Graham, Mrs. James Waugh, Louis Bischof, W. P. Herron and A. F. Ramsey.

The meeting then adjourned. It was expected that Dr. Kane and Edward Daniels, of the board of trustees, would be present but they failed to appear. It is the general beliefiof those in a position to know that the trustees will at the June meeting simply dismiss the committee on co-ordi-nate education and take no other action.

JUDGE M'CABE'S BRIEF-

1I« WhiiIh I've mid Salary I.aw II«»11 Cncotistit utionul—The 1'olntn .Sol Out in the Dooumoiit For the t*eruxat.of the Supremo

Tribnna*.

The brief of Judgo J&'Ties NTeCabe, reeeiitlv of the supreme court, in the suit brought by the county officers' association to test the fee and salary law, was tiled in the supreme court last week. The title of the case is MCS36 darman, recorder, ag&inst the county commissioners of "Madison county. The lower court sustained a demurrer to the answer antl-an appeal is taken upon the part of the county officers. In the brief the following summary is given: "The:.feo and salary acts of 1891 and 18U3 aro both unconstitutional as to county officers. "1. Because said acts do not grade the compensation of county-ollicers in proportion to population and the necessary services required as provided by the constitution.

And because both acta make an

uufounded classification of county officers into those previously elected as one class and those afterward elected as another class exempting the first class from the operation of said acts without any reason for such classification.

The doctrine of stare decisis does apply to uphold previous decisions to the contrary becauso each judge is sworn to support the constitution and it still speaks and demands obedience However, it is not necessary to overrule the previous decisions to maintain the first constitutional objection made above. Allegation and proof of facts are competent to establish that the operation of the law violates the constitution in that it does not grade the compensation of officers in proportion to the population and the necessary services required."

The brief concludes as follows: "We insist with unbounded confidence that both of said acts be held unconstitutional by this court and thus commit the duty anew to the legislature to frame aud enact a valid fee and salary law. "The confidence with which we urge such a decision upon this court is born of the conscientious conviction on the part of the writer hereof that only such a decision would support the constitution and of the further fact that the conclusion urged is not ori!y one that he should feel constrained to reach himself if he were on the bench, but is one which he did feel constrained to reach under the solemn sanctions of his oath to support the constitution while honored with a seat on this bench."

A Motion Wreck.

Through freight No. 73, on the Monon came south last Sunday afternoon behind the passenger train bringing over sixty empty cars. At Cherry Grove on a down grade the train broke in two, the first section runing ahead and then slowing up. Engineer Raub not being aware of the accident. Consequently the second came smashing into the first at the foot of the grade and fifteen cars were demolished and ditched. The engine was run to Orawfordsville and the wrecker ordered out arriving in time to clear the track for the night trains. The loss was quite heavy but nothing to what it would have been had the cars been loaded.
