IS TOOPERSONAL Teacher Doesn't Like the Composition Written About Her and ■■ s■* boy is suspended Huntington Lad Took the Wrong Subject for His Composition, Huntington, Ind.. Oct. 3—A revolt in the high school of Lancaster townHmmtington county, which followed the expulsion of .John Kennedy, n senior, lasted only over night. Miss IJssie Mnmalt, the principal, was trainingtile class in the art of! expression and incidentally' developing “cub" reporters by having them write , their impressions of people and things in tho form of essays. They first tried their descriptive skill and caustic wit on their own classmates each selecting some other for the target of his comment. Then tlie principal had them read their essays before tin- school and this was more than equal to an ainaieur night without the book, each making more or less ot a hit. Next the seniors were Instructor to ■elect as their topic some older person of their aciiuaintan.- and it is charged that young Kennedy lined up the class to one splendid effort with the “teacher’’ as the subject. When the j essays were handed in they were tool . funny to lie read to the class, and the I teacher retained all the copies. Ken-; nedy was ordered to leave the school.! His classmates said they would never] return to school but all went back ex-] cept Kennedy tho next day. Kennedy was suspended for six days.

Big Matter Will be Relative to Change of Mission House Site. j The annual meeting of tho I Synod of the Northwest of | the German (Reformed church will l be held next week at Lafayette, beI girtnittg witli the evening session at v o'clock, Wednesday evening, Octo|bt r 8. The synod includes the Decatur and Adams county Reformed churches, and in fact all north, west and south of the Ohio line. Altout two hundred delegates are expected to attend. Rev. L. C. Hessert and Matt Kirsch will represent the Decatur church, while Rev. Schneider of Magley, Rev. Katlman of Berne, Rev. Schroer of Vera Cruz, and lay delegates from their churches will also go. At this time the vote niton the rei tention of lite Mission House at Frank- ] Hn. or its removal to Sheboygan, twelve miles away, will be taken | again, and an effort will be made to effect a peaceable settlement. Ii will be remembered that a special • building fund for the erection of a needed new student building for the mission was raised. Only fifty thousand dollars was asked for this, but long before reports from all the charges were In, more than enough lad been raised. When mon -y came so easily for the building, the agli tat ion of moving the Mission Home l from Franklin, where there are no I railroads to Sheboygan, where the business men offered $26,000 ns a bonus. was begun. Many of the churches which had pledged sums, were adverse to giving them unless the building would be erected on the site of the old ones, instead cf moving to the other location, thus being forced te abandon the old but perfectly good buildings, and perhaps incurring debt for the new ones necessary. The matter of the change of location I has been .Agitated for more than a year. Both tho central and eastern synods have voted but still have the natter open. The northwest synod is larger than both of the others combined. Tho church nt Decatur raised five hundred dollars, the church at Mag ley, which has many ministerial students al the Mission House, raised Jl.llOO. and the churches of this classls or district alone raised about SB,OOO lor the building fund, which Is being held by the churches until the matter of tho locution is settled. Franklin Is located between Sheboygan and a summer resort and Is four miles from a traction lino. There is some consideration as to whether It would not be better to bring a railroad to the Mission House, than to take the Mission House to n railroad.
