THE STATE SCHOOLS President Bryan of the state university Wednesday assured the people of Indiana that representatives of the state schools “will not be back here two years from now asking anything at the hands of the legislature.” For they “are well pleased and thoroughly satisfied with what the last session did,” for the schools, and therefore, "will not ask anything more." It is a great thing to get this matter of uni-. versity support on a sound business . basis. Especially are the people to be congratulated on having got rid of the old lobbying, and of any necessity ' for it. There will be no more rivalryin connection with appropriations, no more school politics, and no possibility of sacrificing these institutions to supposed political necessity. There will be no need to fight for adequate ap-, propriations, since ample provision has been made. I Under the old and unbusinesslike ‘ system it was almost necessary for university presidents to lobby. Some-! times their demands were excessive, or at least beyond the power of the state to grand. But there was also the dan-1 ger lest the work be crippled by the failure of the legislature to make reasonable appropriations that were well within the ability of the state to provide. Every two years, therefore, these institutions were wholly dependent on the whim of the legislature. A worse system than that could hardly be imagined. It is not likely that we shall ever go back to it. To be sure, questions may arise in the future as to the amount of the levy for this purpose. Nor can one legislature bind another. But we shall have no more of the old scramble for special appropriations, and no more such lobbies to those to which we have been accustomed. The people w-ill demand that the tax be i high enough to raise all the funds that are fairly needed. A great step in advance has been taken. We ought from henceforth to be able to keep politics out of the schools and the schools out' of politics. And both the schools and politics will be the better for the di- j vorce. Such are the results of the ap- i plication of sound business principles to the affairs of the state. Perhaps the j ' ~r —- —-iw— 11 — —

I | “The wearing of the green" and the bringing forth of many pretty customs and features characteristic of the Em'erald Isle, proclaimed that thoughts of the good St. Patrick were green in the memories of the hostesses and guests of the Euterpean club Fridayevening, when a St. Patrick’s party ! was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. ' Roy Archbold. This is one of the anfnual “guest nights." when the EuterIpeen club lays aside its study and invites its friends to mingle with I them in an evening free from cate ! The husbands of the club ladies, with a number of other friends, were j guests, including Rev. and Mrs. R. L. I Semans, Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Gleiser, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Heller, Dr. and [ Mrs. Starkweather, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse | Sellemeyer, Mrs. D. M. Hensley, Mrs. i C. L. Walters, Mrs. C. E. Bell, Rose 1 * Christen, Mrs. Harry Deam, Chicago. True Irish setting was provided with the home decorations of shamrocks, pinned to draperies and hangings, 'rom among which pictures of gay “Hooligans" and other quaint Irish characters grinned a cordial, care-free welcome. The hostesses wore pretty i frocks of dainty, airy white, given the i appropriate touch of color, with Irish- ' green ribbons, and assisting them in , 1 receiving were Dr. Roy Archbold and Masters Richard Archbold and Ralph ■Tyndall, who bore out the spirit of the occasion by wearing green neckties. The party qpened with the supper at 6 o’clock and the evening hours were then free for the unrestrained so■cial mingling. Supper was served to the guests, seated in the dining room and reception rooms. The dining table bore out the St. Patrick’s motif, and the colors of green and white were als opredominant in the delicious suit-* per. The centerpiece of the table was a mirror pond whose placid waves gently laved a greensward of curiey j . 'arsley. ns bright and green as the [ j hue of the Emerald Isle’s own grassy , iturf. On the pond little white ducks I and bright green frogs were very 1 i much "at home" in evident content, j Crystal candlesticks with green candles guarded the corners and sides of ~ - - L

the table, and at eith<4 end were little figures representing St. Patrick and St. Patricia. The matching of little Irish favors was the way of finding the partners for the supper. These were distributed by Mrs. F. M. Schir- : meyer, in two baskets, one containing the gentlemen’s and the other the la-; dies’ favors. A very pleasing and diversified entertainment followed the I supper, in charge of the committee, i comprising the Misses Clara Williams ( and Bertha Heller. Pictures repre-; senting and characteristic of the names of the club members were pinned about, and an interesting time Spent in guessing whom they represent■ed. Then came a series of ten charades. These represented names of 'cities of Ireland or something about Ireland, and were cleverly enacted. Mrs. Eugene Runyon guessed the greatest number and was given a half dozen carnations as a reward. A little program of Irish songs and melodies was very prettily and pleasingly rendered, and carried one in fancy | to the dear old island with its staunch I and true, brave hearts. Miss Marie; Patterson and Mrs. W. P. Schrock ; gave vocal solos; Miss Ruby Miller, i Miss Bess Schrock and Mrs. Jesse ; Dailey gave piano numbers and accompanied the singers; Miss Ruby Miller .and Miss Rose Smith played, and Mrs. Harry Deam of Chicago sang. The evening throughout was one of supreme enjoyment, characteristic of the club, i The members, all of whom were hostesses for this affair, are: Mrs. Eli Meyers, Mrs. Roy Archbold, Miss Clara Williams, Mrs. Mary Tyndall,, Miss Bertha Heller, Miss Nora Dell Smith, Mrs. John Parrish, Miss Fan-1 nie Hite, Mrs. John Peterson Mrs. Henry Heller, Mrs. J. C. Patterson. Mrs. Fred Patterson, Miss Elizabeth j Schrock, Mrs. Eugene Runyon, Mrs. F. V. Mills, Miss Edna Hoffman, Miss Marie Patterson, Mrs. F. M. Schirmeyer, Miss Bess Congleton. Mrs. E. B. Adams, Mrs. Jesse Dailey, Mrs. W. P. ; Schrock, Miss Ruby Miller, Mrs. J. F. Fruchte. — An animated discussion of business I plans, followed the devotionals at the! Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid society yes- ’ • terday afternoon at the home of Mrs. ’ J. W. Place. Plans were outlined fori a penny social to be given at the | church parlors next Thursday even- j ing. and other matters were attended to also. The collection was >6.50. A company of friends joined Fred Bultemeier last evening in the celebration of his fifty-second birthday anniversary. Cards were played until the hour grew late, when luncheon was served. Guests were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hormann. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mailand, Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Bultemeier, Charles Bultemeier, William Bultemeier, Miss Sophia Schroeder and William Buuck. A very good time was spent. ‘/Training the Children for Church and Missions" was the promising subeject of the Christian Woman’s Board of Missions at the home of Mrs. Minnie Daniels Thursday afternoon. Miss j Margaret Daniels was the leader and I the lesson was carried out interestingly. — —■ The T T«lrtag Hand society of the I German Reformed church, which met ‘ Thursday, busied themselves with the making of sun-bonnets. They state that all desiring bonnets should order now before the busy season. They decided to color and donate Easter eggs for thq, orphans’ home at Fort Wayne, and will meet next Thursday at the home of Mrs. John Spuller to color them. The collection for yesterday was 11.15. The young people's chorus of the Presbyterian church, comprising twen-ty-five members, with F. H. Hubbard, director, were entertained by Miss Jean Lutz last evening. A portion of the evening was given over to practice of special Easter music, and then in a social lull, refreshments were served. Naar nun ATTENDS JOINT CLASSIS MEET. Rev. L. C.
