The People’s Voice To the Daily Democrat: — The Bible says. "By their fruits ye shall know them", The fruit of the one-room school house can bo seen by the lawyers, doctors, ministers and other business men in Decatur, Chicago, Indianapolis and the other cities who have hailed from the one-room school houses. Who can truthfully say they aro a failure. Who can say that the thousands of business and professional men, who have received their elementary education in the "one cylinder" school, have not successfully fought the battles of life. I heard a professor in Michigan say, “he could always tell the country pupils for they were farther advanced. Quite a boost for the one room school. Out door exercise is conductive to good health and there is nothing better than a walk in the 'open air, rather than riding in a closed hack, leaving home early in the morning and returning late at night.. Some one has said, build your school houses first, and then get the roads; that would be like a farmer sowing his grain and getting tlie ground ready afterward, the person would favor the enactment of laws, forcing the consodidation of schools, should first travel the roads of our commonwealth and then decide whether or not the farmer is capable of determining, which of the two school systems in question will best meet the needs of the community in which he lives. People from Illinois are not all of the same mind. A man from there was talking about buying a farm and asked about consolidation. He said "If there were consolidated schools he would stay where he was, for he was sure there would be none in his community. I am for the betterment of schools, community and country but I think the majority should rule. We are sorry, that the “Child Friend” in the second of the articles favoring consolidation has such a low opinion of the farmer, who occupies as exalted a place in the evolution of the world, and is as wide awake to the needs of the present day as are they who enpoy the advantages of the cultured city. A CITIZEN RULE OR RUIN Geneva, Ind. Editor Democrat: Dear Sir:—l affiSo would like to rise right up on my hind legs to get something off my chest, in regard to the tournament. I may not do it as gracefully, but I can promise in advance that my legs are not so big that I must splatter my remarke over an entire page like the keen-eyed exreferee across the county line. It looks to me like they were determined to rule or ruin and not being able to rule have combined upon the latter alternative, with the result that their peanut pride is “out of bounds.” Pipe down, you of the long legs, and crawl back into your dug-out bunk. A FAN. ■ 9 Verdict Will be Given by Board (Continued from page one) Response Officiated. Mr. Allman asks us to tell the representatives of the various schools as well as local witnesses that lie appreciates very much their attendance at. the bearing ami their courteous answers to all questions propounded. Will Make a Report. As soon as tlie matter is decided by the state board of control a report will be forwarded to this city ami given out for publication. The affair is deeply regretted by the evidence yesterday fixed no blame no Decatur people, according to those who attended. Mr. Allman in closing the session said lie had no authority to decide tlie case and would express bo opinion as to what the verdict would be. It will probably be a week or ten days before the matter is decided. CANDIDATE FOR ASSESSOR 1 wish to announce to the voters of French township that I will boa can-1 didatc for assessor of said township on the democratic ticket at the election held May 2. ffiOlitx CLIFTON KOHLER MONROE WINS FROM VAN WERT Monroe, Ind..

IH. S. BASKET BALL TOURNEYS HOLD STATE INTEREST Lafayette, In., Marell 11.—Basket ball fans in the northern part of the state are predicting that if a "dark horse" wins the state high school basketball tournament, which is to lie held in the Coliseum of the state fair at JndianafMilis, Marell 17 and 18, that tt will come from the teams that are expected to win their contests at the regional tourney, at Purdue University, March 11. Fans generally are choosing a southern higli school quintet to take the laurels at Indianapolis, Vincennes being mentioned as the team most likely to win. Close followers of the game are pointing out, however, that Anderson's schedule does not seem to contain the hard gdmes that must be played by Vincennes. Two likely opponents of Vincennes, according to dope, are Bloomington and Franklin, on Saturday morning and afternoon respectively, while Anderson, might play Columbus and Garfield and Terre Haute or Whiting. The fact that. Franklin does not play Saturday morning, ami meet Vincennes that afternoon means that, the present state champs will be much more rested than Vincennes. Working along this Jlne of “dope”, it would seem that if Anderson and Vincennes were cast together in tlie final game that the odds would somewhat favor the Anderson five. The regional games at laifayette will be played this week end in Purdue’s Memorial gymnasium, which has a seating capacity of about 500. Lafayette Is admirably situated for an event of this kind, being on the Big Four. Monon, Wabash and Lake ErkH railroads, and reached also by two traction lines, the T. If. I. and E. and the Indiana Service Corporation. Hotel facilities are the best in the state for a city of its size, and Lafayette contains a number of first class restaurants, which have ample accomodations for the several thousand fans expected in the city next Saturday. General favorites to win their games at Purdue Saturday are: Angola to win from Goshen: Anderson to win from Pine Village; South Whitley to win from Atwood; Marion to win from Huntington; Frankfort to win from Jefferson, of Lafayette; Rochester to win from Cutler, Whiting to win from Decatur; and Wingate to win from Fishers. Done is easily upset in this tournament, however, and followers of every one of the sixteen teams feelcertain that their team will win the game that it plays. OH THANK YOU. Tile Decatur high school basketbail team left at noon today for I>afayette where they are to meet the Whiting high school at 7:30 o’clock tomorrow evening. Go to it Decatur. We believe you can and will win.—Bluffton Banner. Isadora Kalver of New York who lias been attending to business in Ft. Wayne I his week spent last evening in Decatur.
